Titanic Director to Make Battle Angel Movie
thelizman writes "Director James Cameron, who gave us the Terminator movies (I, II, III) , Aliens, The Abyss, and brought Dark Angel to the small screen will give us a new treat. According to AP, Cameron will direct a live action + cgi movie based on the Battle Angel Alita (GUNNM) book series. Slated for release in 2005-06, the movie will be available in 3D as well as 2D versions. Cameron will be using 3D technology developed for IMAX films to deliver the 3D versions (and on IMAX maybe?). Another twist is that the lead character will be CG, while other roles will be filled by live actors."

This is a community of dorks and nerds. Who the heck thought "Director of Titanic" was going to get more attention than "Director of the Terminator movies." Hello! Titanic and is the kind of movie you go see with your girl friend and I don't think I need to discuss how few of us here have those.....
By "omission" you mean "right there in the headline"?
Terminator 4? Wow! I wonder what they're going to call that one? Terminator 4: The End of All Credibility?
I can just see the trailer now... animated words flying out at the screen:
"This summer... continuity.... is... history!"
What's with the negativity? T4 should be the best one ever, assuming they ditch that whole stupid time-travel schtick and just show humans being slaughtered by robots for two and a half hours.
Bite the hand.
James Cameron isn't a good choice... we need a director that has worked with sci-fi movies involving cyborgs and dark futures, one that is known for using cutting edge CGI, and can do some emotional manipulation to draw in more non geek movie goers... wait a second....
