“An action-packed story of one young woman’s journey to discover the truth of who she is and her fight to change the world.”
From multi-talented director Robert Rodriguez, the man who brought us Desperado (1995), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Sin City (2005), and Machete (2010), to name a few, Alita: Battle Angel is a sci-fi action film centered around the action-packed story of one young woman's journey to discover the truth of who she is and her fight to change the world. This movie has managed to sneak under the radar for me and I finally saw the trailer in the IMAX before Ant-Man and the Wasp and I was thoroughly impressed. Simply put, this movie looks really damn cool- so I wasn't surprised to learn that Sin City director Robert Rodriguez is at the helm. Check out the official trailers below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Alita: Battle Angel:
James Cameron confirmed in an interview that this will be a combination of the first four books in Yukito Kishiro's series of manga books ("Motorball" from books 3 and 4, and the story from books 1 and 2). In another interview, Cameron also said that should this film be successful, he hopes to make another two "Battle Angel" films.
The main character, even though it's a live action film, will be done with CG animation and will be shot in 3D using the stereo imaging system that James Cameron had been developing for his documentaries.
