So it’s finally here! Proof that the ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL film is actually happening! Based on the popular manga, this has been James Cameron‘s passion project for what feels like hundreds of years. He kept talking about it – how he’s been developing technology for it, how state-of-the-art it will be. Hell, you’d almost be fooled into thinking he was building a real female cyborg assassin in his spare time!
But alas, he kept putting it off and putting it off to focus on his AVATAR series, and it seemed like the film would never see the light of day. Cameron seemed aware of that as well, since he tapped Robert Rodriguez to finally direct the damn thing, and now we see the proof of that labor. And…it looks pretty damn cool! Maybe this will be the one to end the “crappy live-action anime adaptation” streak (though I do have a soft spot for SPEED RACER). Here’s hoping!
Meanwhile, ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL will finally hit theaters July 20th, 2018.
