Producer Jon Landau
recently spoke about the progress of Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, and then we
got James Cameron revealing Avatar 4 would be a prequel. But what we still don’t know is what they are
planning to do after that, as it was previously reported that they would be
adapting the manga series called Battle Angel, but will we ever see it?
In an interview with MovieZine, Landau commented on the
possibility of seeing Battle Angel on screen by 2017:
“I am sure you will get to see “Battle Angel.” It is one of
my favorite stories, a great story about a young woman’s journey to
self-discovery. It is a film that begs the question: “What does it mean to be
human? ‘. Are you human if you have a heart, a brain or a soul? I look forward
to giving the audience the film.”

Landau then went on to reinforce that the Avatar sequels
would be their focus over the next few years with the manga adaptation
following them up:
“Who we want to put in the lead role today and who we want
to put in the lead role when the time comes, it can be two totally different
people who would be right for the role. Now we focus on “Avatar” for the next
four or five years. It will hopefully right after that.”
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the manga series,
here’s the description from the first volume (via Amazon):
“When Doc Ido, a talented cyberphysician, finds Alita’s head
in a junk heap, she has lost all memory of her past life. But when he
reconstructs her, she discovers her body still instinctively remembers the
Panzer Kunst, the most powerful cyborg fighting technique ever known. In the
postapocalyptic world of the Scrapyard, as the secrets of Alita’s past unfold,
each day is a struggle for survival.”
