James Cameron Confirms Battle Angel Alita

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

"We're in pre-production right now on a project called 'Battle Angel' which is something I've been working on for several years and we're just, we're finishing up the shooting draft right now. We've been designing, it's a big science fiction film and a couple things that will be interesting about this project," he says in the interview.

Cameron added that "the main character, even though it's a live action film, the main character will be done with CG animation and the second thing that's interesting is we're going to be shooting it in 3D using the stereo imagining system that we've been developing for the documentaries." [:0]

nerd ... factor ... rising

I am quite looking forward to this, have been collecting things by Yukito Kishiro's for quite a few years now (and have made two quake3 characters based on battle angel characters, eelai and a alita replica....)

good to see an alternative to matsumune shiro or hayao miyazaki reach the mainstream....

Just wondering if he'll let the mainstream audiences know it was a japanese anime before he did it or will he assume ownership like most asian film to hollywood films.

I'm pretty excited for this movie. James Cameron tends to throw stupid amounts of money towards film production, sets, and special effects. Terminator 2 was at one point the most expensive movie ever made. Titanic was as well (although I think he went overboard with that movie (PUN!! woot)). I absolutely love science fiction, and I can't wait to see the kind of sets and the world he will create for this film. He's a huge science buff, and I was fearing that the reports of his documentary on Mars would mean this project would get canned or delayed for another 5 or so years...

wonder if they have the balls/budget to do the starwars thing of starting with the 3rd of six movies as the first movie, (like, make book 5 and 6 (fight with zappan, intro as tunned, figure 4, barjack) as the first movie produced, and then if successful enough, make movie 4 & 5, then 1,2,3.... would be a shame to munge up the story into one movie, especially since the ending of the comic is currently be rewriten as an ongoing series in japan.....

guess i may have to wait a while for details >(o)n(o)< (doctor nova glasses ready)
