Talking with Brandon Davis of Comicbook.com, Jon Landau gave his reaction to seeing the #AlitaDay ad that the Alita Army took out in the L.A. Times.
“Alita Army! Way to go keep it up. I got, I tell you a funny story, I went back to Los Angeles. I’ve been in New Zealand for quite some time and I went back to Los Angeles over the summer and the day I was there, the first day back, I opened the Los Angeles Times and there’s an ad from the Alita Army in color and I was like, ‘There you go! Thank you. Keep it up!'”
We can be sure that our efforts has kept Alita’s hope for a sequel alive! Our work isn’t finished yet. We’ll continue to “pepper” Disney with our requests for an #AlitaSequel. Stay tuned for future campaign announcements.
A tweet by @kas_movie informed us that Yukito Kishiro shared in a blog post details of his meeting with James Cameron and Jon Landau at the Avatar: Way of Water premier. It begs the question: Did they discuss plans for an Alita: Battle Angel sequel?
This may be another strong indication that plans for a sequel are moving forward. We still have to convince Disney to greenlight the sequel so don’t stop letting Disney know that you want it. Stay tuned for future campaign plans.
