"I'll send you, like, 600," Rodriguez quoted, thinking that Cameron was joking before 600 pages of notes on the Alita script arrived in the post.

#Will there be another after earth movie movie#
The movie is clearly intended to be a complete story, if not one that answers all our questions.Īlita loses her lover, Hugo, but has come to understand herself and her own place in the world better, rising to become Motorball champion and get her shot at returning to the mysterious city, Zalem, and its leader Nova. Digital Spy spoke to the pair at the time of the theatrical release about what a potential future movie could bring, and here's what we can expect.Īlita Battle Angel 2 plot: How is Alita Battle Angel 2 set up? Rodriguez and James Cameron clearly had plans for a sequel and the first movie sets up one. "It's already a pre-sold concept, it's already got a built-in audience that wants to see it, and then it's delivered to them in a way that's the easiest for them to consume." As far as where it would go or how it would be made, I think streaming has opened up many opportunities such as sequels," he told Forbes. "I know other people would love to see another, and I would love to do another one. This followed on from lead star Rosa Salazar's comments in July 2019 that she hadn't heard anything about a sequel, but Rodriguez hasn't given up hope and said in December 2020 that "anything is possible".

Maybe they're working on something and I wouldn't be the first person to hear, but meanwhile, I haven't heard anything," said Christoph Waltz in April 2020.

"Maybe it doesn't fit into the Disneyfication, but I have no clue. Since the release of Alita: Battle Angel, Disney completed its acquisition of Fox and it'll be Disney that decides whether the movie gets a sequel and if it can find space on its packed release slate for it. It's almost better than having a movie that does really well but no one remembers in six to eight years." "It wasn't the perfect time to come out with it, but that the fans still didn't let anyone forget that they loved that movie. "It's so impressive and heartwarming because you went and did that really because you also loved the material the same way and you felt it was worth the number of years you're going to put in to make it. If they are affected by it enough that they would take the time to go and start a campaign, that's like next level," he told Discussing Film. "You tell a story, ultimately, so people can enjoy it. This time, believe the critics.Alita: Battle Angel 2 has had huge fan support and although a sequel is no closer to happening, Robert Rodriguez hasn't forgotten about the fans. The supposed emotional climax is so weak, that I wonder if that scene is really supposed to make me feel proud of what is shown on the screen. And the masks are not even connected to anything!? The whole story, from the macro level to the micro level is very poorly written and makes no sense. For example, if Will Smith is such a great commander, how could he not command people to wear seat belts when they were about to hit a meteor shower. There are so many plot holes that are so obvious, that they simply should not happen. Will Smith is supposed to be a fearless commander, but his supposed bravery makes him so wooden as if he was a wax statue. Acting is consistently bad by Jaden Smith, he is so annoying as a teenager who constantly freaks out. The first few minutes of "After Earth" already look not so promising, and it only goes downhill from there. This film is about a space craft that crash-landed on a dangerous planet called Earth, and the only two survivors have to struggle to stay alive.
