10 Feb – Frant Gwo recently revealed that he has plans for movie number three when it comes to his hit Lunar New Year entry, "The Wandering Earth", though it will not be anytime soon.

The filmmaker, who attended a press conference for "The Wandering Earth 2" recently, stated that he needs four years between each movie to enable him to come out with a good film.

"I will need six months after the release to do a large-scale research, and also review the weaknesses of the previous film," he said.
