'ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL'
JAMES CAMERON GIVES HELM OVER TO ROBERT RODRIGUEZ
As you've probably all heard by now, since it is the main movie news today, instead of being directed by James Cameron, who planned it for many years but is too busy with three new AVATARS, BATTLE ANGEL ALITA is going to be helmed by the king of trashy movies Robert Rodriguez! Set in the 26th century, ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL follows an amnesiac female cyborg who is rescued from a scrapyard by a doctor. The rebuilt Alita, remembering only her training in a deadly martial art, becomes a hunter warrior, tracking down and eliminating vicious criminals. As 'Deadline' writes, in the form of an epic adventure movie, the story will explore a young woman’s journey of self-discovery and finding love.
