Titanic Director to Make Battle Angel Movie

Posted by michael on from the who-framed-battle-angel-alita dept.

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." Update: 11/25 22:42 GMT by T : Sunny Dubey writes "Terminator 3 was *not* directed by James Cameron. It was directed by Jonathan Mostow."

  1. Worst Wikipedia Entry Ever! by mr.henry · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Wikipedia entry is 4 paragraphs long but tells you NOTHING about the story. If you've have no clue what Battle Angel Alita is about, read more here.

  2. Cameron didn't do T3 by Gary+Destruction · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Terminator franchise became property of C2 pictures and was directed by Johnathan Mostow.
