Alita 2 Is Moving Forward, With Lessons Learned from Avatar: The Way of Water
This is cool news to me!
The upcoming sequel to Alita: Battle Angel will take cues from Avatar: The Way of Water.
Jon Landau, who produced both films alongside writer/director James Cameron, told ScreenRant how the lessons learned from The Way of Water will influence the next Alita movie. "I think what we've learned from Avatar is how much more facial nuance and subtlety that we can get into characters that we want to be emotional and emote that are humanoid," he explained. "Alita would not have been possible, but for what we did on Avatar. Avatar: Way of Water would not be what it is but what we did for Alita. And now let's put that back and give it back to Alita. We're talking to [director Robert Rodriguez] and talking to [lead actor Rosa Salazar] and all is good."
