Fans of Avatar won’t have to wait until James Cameron’s three planned sequels for a return to the world of Pandora, as the filmmaker has announced at the New York Comic Con that he’s teaming up with Dark Horse Comics for a new Avatar comic book series.
“For the past 27 years, Dark Horse has been associated with my films The Terminator, Aliens, and The Abyss.

The first sequel to Avatar is currently slated to arrive in 2017, but don’t be surprised if it gets pushed back again.

"Aliens" Pulse Rifle Returns In Blomkamp's Film
12 hours ago | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp has confirmed that the iconic M41A pulse rife from James Cameron's 1986 "Aliens" is set to return in his upcoming direct sequel to both that film and Ridley Scott's original "Alien".
Scott is working on "Alien: Paradise Lost" as his next effort, a sequel to "Prometheus," but will produce Blomkamp's film which is expected to go into production sometime after. Blomkamp confims the gun in his film will also have an Ris - Rail Interface System. That allows one to attach scopes, lights and other tools.
We all knew there would be pulse rifles. Obviously. Now with added Ris

'Alien 5' Pulse Rifle Revealed
13 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Ever since director Ridley Scott announced that his Prometheus 2 sequel is titled Alien: Paradise Lost, fans have wondered what's become of director Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5. Well, for starters, it will technically be Alien 7, not counting the two Alien Vs. Predator movies. Bring those into the mix, and Neill Blomkamp is actually making Alien X. Also, it will have the iconic Alien pulse rifle on full display!
Even before Chappie opened to less than stellar business at the box office, Neill Blomkamp began teasing his Alien sequel. It was a dream project that 20th Century Fox confirmed was moving forward. And the art he often shared hinted that this would be a direct follow-up to director James Cameron's 1986 sequel Aliens. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection weren't being scrubbed from the timeline, but they wouldn't be mentioned in this new sci-fi thriller that will reportedly re-team Sigourney Weaver as »

Neill Blomkanp Unveils His New Alien Pulse Rifle
14 hours ago | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Though anticipation seems to have stalled somewhat after the lukewarm reception to Chappie, South African director Neill Blomkamp is still working on that Alien movie, and he's posted a new Bts snap to his Instagram account. The Pulse Rifle was introduced in James Cameron's Aliens, and was the weapon of choice for the Colonial Marines in that movie. Obviously military weaponry won't have changed that much for this next installment - which might well wind up being a direct sequel to Aliens, after all - aside from an added Ris (Rail Interface System). We all knew there would be pulse rifles. Obviously. Now with added Ris A photo posted by Brownsnout (@neillblomkamp) on Oct 15, 2015 at 11:44am Pdt The tentatively titled Alien 5 doesn't have a release date yet, but Alien: Paradise Lost will hit theaters in 2017. »

New Alien director Neill Blomkamp has teased the Pulse Rifle from the original 1986 James Cameron film Aliens.
The director posted a picture of the prop on his Instagram with the caption: "We all knew there would be pulse rifles. Obviously. Now with added Ris".

The original M41A Pulse Rifle was first seen in Aliens as the primary infantry weapon of the United States Colonial Marine Corps in the 22nd century.
The Ris stands for Rail Interface System.
Ridley Scott, who is working on the separate Prometheus sequel Alien: Paradise Lost, said that he is producing the as-yet-untitled Blomkamp Alien movie, which will star Sigourney Weaver.
Blomkamp and Weaver most recently worked together on his film Chappie.

Robert Rodriguez to Replace James Cameron on Alita: Battle Angel
15 October 2015 4:19 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
James Cameron has been making plans to direct "Battle Angel" for over a decade, but after "Avatar" became a hit, he decided that he'll instead focus on "Avatar" sequels. But now comes word from 20th Century Fox that "Battle Angel" is moving forward. Cameron is stepping aside to let Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) direct, while he'll remain as a producer. The title of the film will be "Alita: Battle Angel." Plot: Set in the 26th century, the story focuses on Alita, an amnesiac female cyborg who is rescued from a scrapyard by a doctor. The rebuilt Alita, remembering only her training in a deadly martial art, becomes a hunter-warrior, tracking down and eliminating vicious criminals. "Robert and I have been looking for a film to do together for years," said Cameron. "So I was pumped when he said he wanted to do 'Battle Angel.' He's very collaborative and we're »
James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez join forces for anime adaptation Battle Angel Alita
15 October 2015 9:42 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
James Cameron's long-delayed live-action version of the groundbreaking anime Battle Angel Alita is finally a go - with Robert Rodriguez on board too.
Cameron will produce and Rodriguez will direct the live-action project, which has been in various stages of development for over six years.
Battle Angel Alita tells the story of a cyborg rescued from a scrap heap with no memories of her past life. Helpfully, Alita does remember her martial arts training - and is naturally put to work as a badass bounty hunter.
"Robert and I have been looking for a film to do together for years, so I was pumped when he said he wanted to do Battle Angel," Cameron announced today (October 15). "He's very collaborative and we're already like two kids building a go-kart, just having fun riffing creatively and technically.
"This project is near and dear to me, and there's nobody I trust more than Robert, »
James Cameron's Dream Project 'Battle Angel Alita' Finds a New Director

Even if you don't love all of James Cameron's movies, there is no denying he is a pioneer; an innovator and a boundary pusher who has earned the rare luxury of taking his sweet time on getting the movies he wants to make off the ground without compromises. And for a long time in his career, there were two projects he wanted to make but just felt the technology wasn't quite ready yet. One of them was his original idea for Avatar and the other a live-action adaptation of...

Die Hard Rebooted: 10 Other Franchise Reboots That Failed to Launch
15 October 2015 8:58 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Luke Owen looks at the failed franchise reboots…
Rebooting a franchise isn’t just an idea anymore, it’s a formula. If you have a pre-existing franchise with a pre-existing audience, reboot it. And then if that doesn’t work, just reboot it again. We live in a world where we have three different attempts at creating a sustaining Spider-Man franchise, both Neil Blomkamp and Ridley Scott are desperately trying to breathe life back into the Alien series and today we heard that Len Wiseman will directing a franchise reboot of Die Hard, said to be a prequel titled Die Hard: Year One.
The problem with this is that not every franchise reboot works. Christoper Nolan’s reboot to the Batman legend with his Dark Knight Trilogy, Daniel Craig’s Bond and J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek films are proof that it can be done, but they’re floating rafts »

James Cameron's commitment to the Avatar sequels means he won't be directing Alita: Battle Angel after all...
One of the projects that writer/director James Cameron has been involved with for, well, ages really, is Battle Angel.
Starting out as a manga penned by Yukito Kishiro, Alita: Battle Angel follows an amnesiac female cyborg, and it's set in a future where the city is high above an Earth that's basically one giant scrapheap.
Cameron was talking about making Alita: Battle Angel back in 2009, and he said at that stage that already a year of pre-production work had been completed. He told MTV back then that "it's pretty much just add water and we're ready to go". Only then, the success of Avatar happened.
Cameron's focus is currently on a trio of Avatar sequels, and as such, Battle Angel has been falling further and further down his »

The Best Horror Movie Never Made: Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘At the Mountains of Madness’
14 October 2015 10:31 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
This week, Guillermo del Toro’s gothic-horror-romance Crimson Peak will haunt movie theaters across the land. It joins the unique crowd of del Toro projects that makes it to the screen instead of vanishing into development oblivion. Del Toro is always cooking something up, and his name is frequently being thrown around for various films that never quite materialize: he’s been working on-again/off-again on a Haunted Mansion film; then there’s the DC Comics adaptation Justice League Dark. Pacific Rim 2 keeps jumping back and forth between being in development and being put on hold. The filmmaker was even going to direct the first of The Hobbit films before things changed, and we ended up with a bloated trilogy filled with nonsense. But the holy grail of unmade Guillermo del Toro films is his adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness.

James Cameron's Dream Project 'Battle Angel Alita' Finds a New Director

Even if you don't like James Cameron's movies, there is no denying he is an absolute pioneer; an innovator and a boundary pusher who has earned the rare luxury of taking his sweet time on getting the movies he wants to make off the ground without compromises. And for a long time in his career, there were two projects he wanted to make but just felt the technology wasn't quite ready yet. One of them was his original creation Avatar and the other a live-action adaptation of a manga called Battle Angel Alita. As we all know, Avatar is now in the history books as the highest grossing movie of all time. And while for a bit it seemed like Cameron would then pivot to Battle Angel Alita, that never happened.

This year's New York Comic-Con is in the rearview mirror, and all that's left is to look back on the east coast convergence of all things geeky and try to make sense of all the news that came out of the convention. New York's major comic convention tends to be a bit lighter on the movie elements than its San Diego counterpart, but this year's show still featured quite a bit of noteworthy announcements and big reveals tied to some past and much-anticipated future movie projects. From Avatar comics to a rated-”R” Batman movie, there was a lot to digest at this year's convention. Here are some of the highlights from the movie side of the show.
