    Alita: Battle Angel Trailer Hits, Draws Reactions

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments


    After the disappointing reception for Ghost in the Shell‘s big live-action adaptation, fans of manga have been waiting for a glimpse of the upcoming Alita: Battle Angel film. The first trailer for the James Cameron-produced film from 20th Century Fox just hit.

    Directed by Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, From Dusk Til Dawn) from a script by Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island, Terminator Genisys) and James Cameron the film is a “live-action” adaptation of Yukito Kishiro‘s beloved manga. It is a story of a female cyborg who is rescued from a scrapyard and trained to become a warrior, finding love and adventure along the way. So, not necessarily a “new” story, but perhaps it’ll be done in a more accepted way than its predecessors.
