James Cameron to make a 3D cyborg movie for 2007

Battle Angel scheduled for realease by 20th Century Fox in 2007 | Coming Soon! - Latest News:




Battle Angel will be based on based on the Japanese Manga series of graphic novels Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro. The movie combines the first three books, Ido, Alita, and Hugo.





Cameron explains the gist of the story:

"26th century, the story takes place 300 years after a societal collapse caused by a major war, but in that society, it's a technological dark age following a pinnacle of achievement far, far beyond where we are right now. So in a sense it's post-apocalyptic, but it's post-apocalyptic from a very high level. So now, you've got cyborg technology as just a way of life. People are augmented a lot as workers and so on, so being a cyborg is not unusual. The main character is a cyborg. She has an organic human brain, and she looks like she's about fourteen years old. She has a completely artificial body and she's lost her memory- she's found in this wreckage and she's reconstituted by this guy who is a cyber-surgeon who becomes her kind of surrogate father. It's a father-daughter relationship story that just has the most insane action that you can imagine. It will be PG-13 -- lots of blood, but it's all blue.'"
