Battle Angel
James Cameron Adapting Battle Angel Alita
What began as a comic book in Japan, took hold and found popularity with
a multitude of languages. Here is what James had to say on the project:
we're in pre-production right now on a project called 'Battle Angel'
which is something I've been working on for several years and we're just,
we're finishing up the shooting draft right now. We've been designing, it's
a big science fiction film…the main character, even though it's a live action
film, the main character will be done with CG animation and the second thing
that's interesting is we're going to be shooting it in 3D using the stereo
imagining system that we've been developing for the documentaries...
Interesting stuff indeed. It is a live action film, the main character will
be in CGI, will the rest of the film? I can't wait to see some of the first
'artist sketches' or some actual stills for the film. I guess now it is
a waiting game.
For those of you who have never heard of Battle Angel Alita, here is a synopsis:
Tiphares, the gigantic and mysterious mid-air city, covers the sky. Underneath, junkies and cyborgs live in the ruined city known as the "Scrap Yard".
Within the giant pile of ruble cast off from the city in the sky, begins the
story of a girl.
One day in the Scrap Yard, and ex-Tipherean citizen and cybernetic doctor named "Ido" finds the partially destroyed body of a young cyborg girl. He names her "Alita".
Even after being restored by Ido, Alita has no memory, so she fights to recover her true self that is hidden somewhere inside her body.
While helping Ido against a powerful enemy, Alita's ability to use the "Panzer Kunst", a long lost fighting technique, returns...
By fighting through various encounters in this sci-fi action epic, the cyborg girl, Alita, grows as a human being.
