With the list-lessness that usualley sets in on a Sunday afteroon, I was feeling bored and deicided to go over to Dark Horizons.com to see what werid and wonderful movies are going into development.
Looking through the site noticing a few interesting movies, 'The Invasion ( Nicole Kidman in re-make of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.) 'Across the Universe', 'Avatar' ( Which I thought sounded intresting since Robert Rodrigez had his name attached to it.)
I noticed a film called 'Battle Angel'
It wasn't until I had let the synopsis sink in that I realised that they MIGHT have been talking about 'Alita - Battle Angel'.
A old comic I remember reading. It was from somebody else's collection and I think that person would be stoked to find out this being made into a film.
The comic had a robot girl that was totally kick ass. She goes around fighting monsters and stuff. That's all I remember really.
It matches the plot of this
new movie.

The Invasion ( Nicole Kidman in re-make of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.)
Nooooo! That films been pretty much remade twice already! (Actually the third is just called Bodysnatchers I believe, and follows a different set of characters but the idea of lots of people taken over by alien pods is the same. And it was only out in 1993...).
The first 1970s remake, the one with Geof Goldblum (possibly misspelt) and Leonard Nimoy is my favorite. I preferred it to the black and white 1956 original.
Sorry, not the main topic of the thread I know. I haven't come across Battle angel before. That picture is a strangely beautiful and evocative (as well as slightly disturbing) image though.

Oh yeah, I should have known about that. I wasn't really thinking about the original, original version in Black and White.
I guess you could say that there has been a 'Body Snatcher' movie made every twenty years or so since that first one.
Not that remember that one as well as the Donald Sutherland version. I would think that I actualley prefer the black n White version for it's retrospective charm like alot of other sci/fi movies of that time.
I think the modern versions just get worse.
But Nicole Kidman gets better looking as she matures.
But enough of that talk.................
On the main subject of this topic
If want to know about the abput ALite Battle Angel. Just follow the link below.
It's very interesting read too, it's got stuff about thsi martial art that was specifically developed for Cyborg's called 'Panzer Kurst' ( Or something like that!) which handy to know if you have telescopic robotic limbs that, and in zero-gravity enviroment. I'm just thinking now, thsi pre-dates 'DragonBall Z' and this would be abit of a ripp-off of the other.
Slaine?
Doing a cameo appearance?
Really?

The answer to your original question is: yes, James Cameron's had the movie rights to Battle Angel Alita for years and is finally making it now.

battle Angel Alita - I havent read the Manga but I have seen the 90's anime(only a small part of the Manga but very nice), sort of like a more grimmer version of Astroboy. I think this is going to be James Camerons next movie after he does that big blue alien one he's working on at the moment(Avatar) which also sound amazing. The eperimental 3D and CGI that he's developing for Avatar(which from what I hear is going to be majority Motion captured actors as there are very few actual Humans or human sized aliens in the script, and fully CGI sets) will be used in Battle Angel too, he's using Avatar as a test run for the Tech. I'm very excited for both these projects and cant wait.
