Oscar-winning director
James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator) told the
MTV Splash Page blog about the three technologies from his current film
Avatar that would enable a live-action
Battle Angel Alita/
GUNNM film — if one is made. Cameron still says he is "going to
look at" a film adaptation of
Yukito Kishiro's manga as his next film, but offered
no commitments. He did note that "
Battle Angel will be very straightforward" because of three technologies being developed for
Avatar: the Fusion 3D camera system, facial performance capture, and the Simulcam for real-time compositing of computer-graphics characters with real actors.
