Oh God yes!!!!!!

 

[Scotty W]

YES!!!

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

A big budget movie greenlit in 2023 will almost certainly be terrible. Don't trust your emotions.

 

[CGNoire]

Fuck Yes!!

 

[farmerboy]

Good. Already looking forward to this. Hope it goes alright.

 

[Spaceman292]

Never thought this would happen. That's cool. I hope they make her eyes even bigger in this one.

 

[SJRB]

James Cameron, god bless you.

He made the studio such an unholy amount of money he's actually able to do a passion project like this even though the first one was an absolute bomb. Still loved it though, visually amazing and great action.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Good news assuming they dont ruin it.

 

[scoobidoo112]

Inject that shit straight into my veins.

Alita was the shit, and I'll support a sequel 110%!

One of the best IMAX experiences I've had so far.

 

[Power Pro]

I love the first one, been singing it's praises ever since I saw it. I'll try not to get too excited, because Hollywood is very wishy washy, they can announce something, only for nothing to come of it.

 

[The Skull]

FUCK.YES

 

[Daneel Elijah]

 

[nightmare-slain]

cool. i will watch it.

 

[SirKicksalot]

The idiots at Discussing Film missed the plural in his quote:

And on the new Alita: Battle Angel films, I’ll be working in Austin

 

[Punished Miku]

Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
yeahhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Spyxos]

 

[Klosshufvud]

Alita Open Matte is just

So glad they're making sequels. Really good starting film. I hope they keep up the level of quality.

The idiots at Discussing Film missed the plural in his quote:

I assume that means it will become a trilogy maybe?

 

[jason10mm]

Pretty cool news, and the decision to CG over Rosa will pay off as they can keep her looking the same. Robert Rodriguez has not been doing really great work over at Lucasarts (IMHO) so if he is still on board with this I hope he gets some of his old mojo back.

I wanna see Alita SHRED a whole group of pastel vespa riding gangbangers, for example

 

[Punished Miku]

I assume that means it will become a trilogy maybe?

There's definitely enough comic material for a trilogy, minimum.

 

[kikkis]

I liked the idea of the alita more than the movie itself.

 

[Kilau]

I’ve owned the 4K disc for awhile now, maybe I should watch it finally.

Or maybe in 3D?

 

[Trunx81]

First one was really good, best Rodriguez-work in years.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Thank god, they couldn’t just let it end like that.

 

[Mistake]

I thought the first was decent, but they pushed the love interest too fast and too hard. The manga had more balance. Nice to see they will continue it though

 

[dorkimoe]

yay! i enjoyed the first

 

[German Hops]

BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR!!

 

[AlphaMale]

Fuck yeah!!!
The first one was actually *better*, after watching it a second time!

 

[PaddyOCanager]

 

[JimmyRustler]

Amazing news! Loved the first one.

 

[Labolas]

Hopefully they'll make it have a darker tone.
I need less of clean CGI and give me of this:

 

[Putonahappyface]

Slightly excited for this news.

 

[LRKD]

Nice! Loved the manga, movie was good so excited to see what they'll do with it.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I hope that Ghost in the Shell gets a sequel as well, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I haven't seen the first one, but with so many like-minded individuals praising it here, I'm going to have to check it out

 

[AlteredForms]

Thought the first movie was fantastic and I’m excited to see this one. But I hated how overpowered they made her which ruined the characterisation. The first fight she gets into involves her killing an experienced assasin and then kicking a heavily armoured brute and tearing his arm off. And to those fanboys who’ll state “she’s a super-powered special forces killing machine 9000” go eat a fat one. Build up the character, don’t place a complete one with some cosmetic damage and hope for the same effect.

 

[0neAnd0nly]

Between this and new TOHO Godzilla trailer I’m not sure the last 24 hours could be better.

Alita #1 was absolute and I literally only went to see it on a whim because of GAF’s praises.

Totally worth it.

None of this post 2016 BS social crap infused, just an awesome film based on an Anime with some of the most stylistic combat scenes since the original Matrix.

For naysayers - give it a shot! One of the few movies I have watched repeatedly (6 times) in my life, always entertaining and very, very well done.


*responding to a comment above, the first was actually NOT a bomb. In fact it came in with low expectations for the box office and exceeded them. It did only “break even” roughly because of its massive budget, but no - the film wasn’t a bomb. It exceeded the calculations, which originally showed it being a dud.

Thank goodness it did. Excellent fun.

Nah, I’m hoping for a lighter anime tone.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Best news I heard in 2023. Alita was amazing. Saw it in the theaters and loved it. Bought the blu-ray when it came out and loved the shit out of it too. Was really sad when the movie didn't perform at the box office and thought that was it. Thank God for Jim Cameron and his major influence in Hollywood. Only he could've pulled off a decision like this.

 

[Labolas]

Nah, I’m hoping for a lighter anime tone.

 

[Rat Rage]

LOVED the first one. Sadly, it's probably gonna take quite some time until it comes out.

I haven't seen the first one, but with so many like-minded individuals praising it here, I'm going to have to check it out

Good decision.

 

[SJRB]

Nah, I’m hoping for a lighter anime tone.

Wait, I watch Jujutsu Kaisen...

 

[Tams]

Nah, I’m hoping for a lighter anime tone.

If this is what passes as humour these days, then just stick the needle in me already.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Nah, I’m hoping for a lighter anime tone.

[Sushi_Combo]

Honestly don't even remember what happens, might have a rewatch before this comes out.
