Jibbs Doomsday Dracula PG Cooper SnoBorderZero PhantomKnight thebtskink iverdawg Knerys Wyldstaarwww.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/james-cameron-robert-rodriguez-teaming-832157Robert Rodriguez is in negotiations to direct the live action adaptation of the manga graphic novels that will be produced by Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment partner Jon Landau. James Cameron’s more than 15-year journey to bring manga comic Battle Angel Alita to the big screen may be nearing an end. Robert Rodriguez is in negotiations to direct the live action adaptation of the manga graphic novels that will be produced by Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment partner Jon Landau. Titled Alita: Battle Angel, the project tells of a female cyborg that is discovered in a trash yard by a scientist. With no memory of her previous life except her deadly martial arts training, the woman becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down criminals. The action-adventure story is meant to serve as a backdrop to themes of self-discovery and the search for love. "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," stated Cameron. "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, with his technical virtuosity and rebel style, to take over the directing reins. We're looking forward to learning a lot from each other while we make a kick-ass epic." Added Rodriguez: "Battle Angel is an incredibly rich and vibrant epic in the tradition of Jim Cameron's spectacular, character-driven films. Getting to work from Jim’s terrific and visionary script while learning the cutting edge techniques he’s pioneered is a master class in filmmaking. It's an honor to explore the world of Alita along with Jim and Jon, whose films have impacted me for decades."

James Cameron’s more than 15-year journey to bring manga comic Battle Angel Alita to the big screen may be nearing an end. I first read about Cameron developing Battle Angel in 1992. I suppose that technically 23 years is "more than 15". |

I have an irrational hatred for most all kinds of Japanimation. I associate it with the moment my cartoons started to suck balls.
I know, very irrational.

Battle Angel Alita is one that I'm not well versed in. I have some vague memories of the anime but it never kept my attention like others.
That said, of what I do remember....Rodriguez might actually be a good fit. Stylistically anyway. I can't tell you about story.
Cameron is too meticulous to worry about. He knows his robots.

The trouble with movies like this is that there's no reason for non-fans to see it. It's the same as movies like Ghost in the Shell or Dark Tower. Dystopian, futuristic setting, lots of standard, by the numbers CG, everything just looks the same as what we've seen in a dozen other movies. If you're a fan of the source material then you might have a reason to see it but just dishing out a lame trailer like all those movies did doesn't do anything to entice anyone else to watch it.

We’re watching it for the James Cameron/Robert Rodriguez collaboration. |

I thought it looked decent...
Valerian's cg was nowhere near the issue either btw. De haan somehow keeps convincing people he's an actor. He isn't.

wow... Talk about a 180 from the last trailer.
I went from thinking this will suck to I'm excited for the final product.
