While it's still hasn't been announced which project James Cameron will take on next but Alita (Battle Angel) seems like a very strong contender. Considering there has been rumors of test footage shot. Producer Jon Landau (Avatar) spoke with MTV on some aspects from the original manga that will make the film. Screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island) has reveled to both Cameron and Landau the rich world which consists in the 9 volumes of the series. It seems like their task now is to pick and choose the best elements to bring into the first film.
“If people are familiar with the series at all, there’s something they call Motorball,” Landau said of the one aspect of “Alita” that he’s most eager to see Cameron capture. “That is something that Jim has always been dynamically excited about. It’s racing on a super track, with characters that are built and created in the cyborg world to race against each other in an arena.”
“It’s almost like a gladiator match meets an Indy 500 race,” Landau added. “[Their mode of battle] depends on who they are. It depends how they’ve been modified as cyborgs; they’re not in cars — it’s their physical being that is out there. Some of them are on roller skates — and Alita participates in this, and she’s on roller blades, while other people might have different devices. It’s a wonderful, rich world to design and develop.”
