Adapted from the 1990s Japanese manga series Battle Angel Alita, the film had the backing of some Hollywood legends (namely, James Cameron), and despite being stuck in development hell for years, Rodriguez managed to finish the project just in time for a Valentine’s Day release. However, despite its star-studded cast (including such big names like Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali, and Jennifer Connelly), Alita wasn’t able to rise through the box office ladder to success.
While the action scenes and visual effects received praise, the storytelling and screenplay were criticized by fans and critics alike. Domestically, the film only managed to gross $85 million and change, and combined with the worldwide box office totals, the final tally sits at just north of $400 million. Although this might seem impressive on its own, some industry writers have pegged the break-even point at half a billion, which would explain why 20th Century Fox hasn’t greenlit a sequel. Still, some diehard fans are holding out hope that they’ll see the titular cyborg on the big screen again.
As CinemaBlend reports, a Change.org petition has been circulating around the web and has racked up over 64,000 signatures so far, putting it within spitting distance of its goal of 75,000. Of course, as we’ve explained in the past, petitions don’t tend to incite much change on their own, but they can stand as a way to measure public interest. Both Rodriguez and Cameron have hinted at sequels when promoting the first film and with actress Rosa Salazar (who played Alita) campaigning for a sequel, there’s always a chance that Fox will change their mind.
Of course, if you’d like to support the franchise (or if you haven’t checked out Alita: Battle Angel for yourself), you can pick up a digital or Blu-Ray copy. As always, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any news regarding a potential sequel.
We’re now just over two months away from the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and yet we still have complete blind spots about the movie. Most of the new character’s identities or roles in the plot have been revealed but one of the exceptions is whoever Dominic Monaghan’s playing. The Lord of the Rings star’s part in Episode IX has been kept so tightly under wraps that we don’t even have a name for him. But at last, we now know what he looks like.
Thanks to the new merchandise that’s been revealed this weekend as part of Triple Force Friday, the first look at Monaghan’s character is now out there. And just in case we missed it, the star himself decided to share a promo image of his character from the movie on social media. “Oh it’s on now,” he wrote as a caption, along with the hashtag #becurious.
Going by his clothes and weaponry, it looks like Monaghan could be a member of the Resistance. It’s believed that he’ll feature most prominently in the film during its first act and will thereafter take more of a backseat and fill a supporting role. A glimpse at the replies to the star’s Twitter post make it clear how excited folks are to see the former Hobbit in that galaxy far, far away, too. Plus, J.J. Abrams fans can enjoy him teaming up with the filmmaker again for the first time since Lost.
Maybe we’ll see our first glimpse of Monaghan in action in the upcoming trailer for the conclusion to the Skywalker saga? Now that we’re in October, we should be a due a new one any day. The Star Wars Twitter account may have even subtly told us to expect it on October 14th. If he’s not in there though, we’ll have to find more about the actor’s role the old fashioned way when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits cinemas on December 20th.

Walmart is selling off women’s clothing company and online retailer ModCloth, just two years after acquiring it. The brand will now be a part of investment firm Go Global Retail, though it will continue to operate independently.
“We expect they will continue in the same direction as before,” Christian Feuer, managing director of Go Global Retail, told The Verge. “I don’t think the customer will see a change. If they do, I hope they’ll be happy with what they see.”

Ever since we first heard his laugh at the end of the first trailer that released back in April, we’ve been left to wonder how exactly Emperor Palpatine fits into the narrative of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The incoming trailer for Episode IX may just reveal his introduction in the movie, as well as who it is that first discovers he’s still alive. At least, that’s according to this new leak.
Making Star Wars has a history of sharing reliable scoops about the saga, and in their latest video they outline a scene that’s apparently due to be featured in the new trailer. MSW’s Jason Ward claims that Kylo Ren is the first to encounter the former Emperor.
The clip will see the Supreme Leader of the First Order meeting a mysterious old man sitting in what appears to be a “cross-vertical med chair that he’s strapped into.” Kylo will try to kill him with his lightsaber, but Palpatine is unfazed and said to laugh at him – the laugh from the first trailer perhaps? – and makes his identity known.
If we can trust this info, then this adds up with other leaks that have come our way in the past. We Got This Covered has previously reported that Darth Sidious will attempt to take Kylo under his wing in Rise, with aims to coax Rey over to the Dark Side, too. What’s more, Palpatine being plugged into some sort of life-support also could confirm our scoop that the villain never actually died in Return of the Jedi and has been recovering in hiding all this time.
A tweet from the official SW Twitter account has got fans wondering if the trailer will be with us on October 14th. Even if that’s not the case, the pattern established by the previous two movies in the sequel trilogy suggests it’ll drop sometime this month. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arrives in full on December 20th.

Less than two weeks ahead of the Pixel 4 flagship smartphone’s debut, Google is reportedly pulling the plug on a controversial “field research” program that offered subjects in US cities a $5 gift certificate in exchange for a scan of their face — after a New York Daily News report that one Google contracting agency was actively targeting homeless people in Atlanta and tricking unwitting college students into participating.
Originally, the company told us, the idea was to make sure the Pixel 4’s new Face Unlock feature would recognize a diverse array of faces, which could keep it from being biased against people of color — a legitimate concern for facial recognition tech.

The iPhone’s notch may not be the prettiest thing in the world, but there’s now a lawsuit over it, which alleges that Apple’s advertised screen size and resolution for the iPhone X, XS, and XS Max count pixels that aren’t actually there due to the notch. A federal judge hearing the case, in an all-time great quote, thinks this may not be a big deal: “There doesn’t really seem to be anyone in America who seems to be concerned about it,” he said, according to Law360.
Apple argues that it already explains how it measures screen size on its packaging, according to Law360, and has been trying to get the case dismissed since March. The plaintiffs are hoping to make it into a nationwide class-action lawsuit, but it hasn’t been certified yet —...
