When James Cameron announced earlier this year that he was strictly in the "Avatar" business from here on out a lot of people, myself included, were incredibly disappointed that The King of the World seemed to be closing the book on his long-rumored manga adaptation "Battle Angel Alita". Well, only a couple of days after making it clear there were only 2 Avatar sequels in the pipeline and not 3 Cameron's producer Jon Landau is talking again and this time he's saying that him and Jim are still hopeful they'll get a Battle Angel film made
after they do the Avatar two-step.
Here's what the producer had to say to the Swedish website MovieZine:
"We'll focus on 'Avatar' for the next four or five years," producer Jon Landau told the site when asked about Cameron's continued interest in the property,
"Hopefully
right after that… I am confident you will see it. It's one of my
favorite stories, I think it is an incredible story, a journey of
self-discovery of a young woman. It is a movie that begs the question:
'What does it mean to be human? Are you human if you have a heart, are
you human if you have a mind, are you human if you have a soul?' And I
look forward to bringing that film to audiences."
Five years is a long time to wait but it's better than hearing the film's been scrapped.
