We’ve been caught up in the AVATAR whirlwind for so long now, we’ve almost forgotten about Cameron’s “other” next potentially mind-blowing project, BATTLE ANGEL. And this bit of news from a source inside the Cameron camp (via Market Saw) is really the first we’ve heard of the project in eons. I’ll stop talking now, read on:
On what is happening right now for ANGEL:
“Make no mistake this is the movie your website will be pursuing in time to come. The tests are “Beautiful” and “Complex” beyond your wildest dreams. Stunningly beautiful, considering the fact that some are old(ish). Imagine this for a second. A cyborg chick “the Angel of Death” taking out “a lot” of other part man, part machine type “people.”
On what those tests contain:
“Now picture the “Angel of Death” looking like a child. a 14 year old. Now imagine this, this little girl goes through these guys like butter. Did you see the KICK-ASS trailer? Well imagine that girl via the Matrix via Ghost in the shell, via AI. “Remember the True Lies bathroom brawl?” Well take out Arnold, and “copy and paste” Bruce Lee on acid via the Terminator. as seen through the eyes of a sweet innocent 14 year old cyborg girl. [Ed. Note: What did I just read there?] And all of this done via the mind of James Cameron, Holy shit what is not to love? The lights flicker and shit hits the fan. Awesome stuff.”
On Angel’s future:
“You will be hearing the phrase “Angel of death” a lot in time to come. At least judging from the level of involvement now. I bet Angel will go green soon. The only thing I can see setting back Angel is Avatar. And you know why that is don’t you?”
The answer to that last question is, if AVATAR turns out to be a world ending success, BATTLE ANGEL could be put on hold to make way for sequels. But reading that synopsis, I’d much rather see teenage cyborg angel mass murder than an allegory about civil rights with blue aliens. But that’s just me.
