Recently with the talk of the sequel to Avatar most have lost sight of the fantastic concept of Battle Angel Alita. The film would focus on battling young girl cyborg in a futuristic world. There has already been talk of the movie being filmed with the same motion capture and 3D technology. It doesn't seem likely with all the pre-production work done for the project it's going to get bumped for something like The Dive. I'm sure 20th Century Fox is likely to follow Cameron with any film concept. Yet with the possibility of another 3D film with a young female character in a futuristic world of cyborgs seems too good to pass up. It's hard to think Fox isn't nudging James in that direction. Considering Cameron has talked of turning Alita into it's own trilogy he'll have to start releasing these films soon. Sci-FiWire was able to talk to James and Fox's Tom Rothman about the project.
Cameron: Battle Angel, I think, is a science fiction movie that begs the question ‘What does it mean to be human?’ It takes place in a future world, a world that has cyborgs, but are you human if you have a mind, if you have a heart, if you have a soul? It’s a journey of a young girl who tries to discover herself and what she learns upon that journey.
Rothman: My preference is only that he makes another great movie for us.”We’ve seen a lot of the stuff on Battle Angel over the last year, so we’re very fired up about it. Look, James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have been in business together for over 25 years, one of the most successful partnerships in the history of the movie business, so that’s something obviously that will continue.
