I assume this is for Battle Angel, every thing matches:
But I'll be damned if I put my assumptions or anyone else's in the news. The reason that we didn't report over the weekend like everyone else was that we wanted to contact Mali Finn first and try to get them to confirm that it was Battle Angel. Unfortunately they told me that they didn't know (And from the sound of it a lot of people have called them to ask). -t Last edited by Tempest on Mon Dec 05, 2005 4:00 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It could be T4, True Lies 2, or Alien 5, for all we know. Or if he's really moved down a notch in his career, a videogame.

Hmm, could be Titanic 2 - the ending is really open-ended.

Whoever it is needs to be bang on the money anyway. It would have to be a quite petite, young, good looking actress who can pull off a very firery performance whilst still showing her uniquely innocent feminine side throughout... just how Alita was for most of the manga.
Dear lord, im such a geek. |

Don't forget the somewhat SD-Head. The actress has to have an oversized head just like Gally. |

...and have her lips permanently pursed in an "oooh" position.
No, I haven't actually read the manga, but I read a preview, and she had this mouth:  the whole time.

;p People who are like that in real life look totally weird. Example: Devon Aoki. |

I guess the film is still a go. I hope.

Any chance Kate Beckinsdale could get the part? (evidence: Underworld)

And that guy in Band of Brothers. I guess this means that she's not gonna be CG. Or is this for mo-cap? |

Heck, it could be ANY generic "action film" project. It describes the Aeon Flux movie, and Cameron didn't direct that. It probably also describes his short-lived TV series "Dark Angel". (imitates Muttley laughing) In any case, it's a surefire bet that Cameron's "version" will likely be one of those "adaptations" that isn't really an "adaptation", but just another generic action film project that's been done a "Godzillion" times, and probably only exists for the purpose of male affirmation...all by a Hollywood director who (likely) doesn't know what he's talking about, and who (probably) thinks that the viewers won't know the difference (Does he even know what the "Battle Angel Alita's original Japanese title is?). Also, let's not forget that this isn't the first time that has been an American live-action film based on a Japanese manga ("Hokuto no Ken", and "Guyver" were two such subjects). (All of the above [after my Muttley imitation] assumes of course, that the movie in question is in fact "Gunnm" [sp?]) |

Wow, bitter much? You're also completely wrong. Crazy uninformed kneejerk fanboy ranting like this really grinds my gears. Cameron is the most widely-respected director in the business and is absolutely obsessed with detail. The best actors in the business go out of their way to work with him. The man has seen the anime and has read the entire run of the comics. He knows what he's doing and should be trusted to make an excellent film more than any other director working today. I like how you automatically assume that a highly respected and massively successful professional, known for his obsession with detail, knows nothing and you know everything. |

Actually, yeah he does. He's referred to GUNNM and GALLY is some of the interviews he's done. -t |
