The first full trailer for Alita: Battle Angel just dropped and it looks amazing! The forthcoming title from James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) is a live action adaptation of a series of Manga cyberpunk graphic novels, and anime created by Yukito Kishiro. The movie will be based on the first four books of the novel series, and is supposedly being developed as a franchise. James Cameron was reportedly informed of the character by his friend and fellow movie director Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim) way back in the late 90s, but production was likely held off until the right technology was available. While he is a producer on the project, Cameron left the directing reins to Rodriguez, so he could concentrate on his upcoming Avatar sequels. Check out the first full trailer below.
Official Synopsis
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.
Anticipation Level:
Alita Battle Angel will be released on February 14, 2019.
