Another Anime/Manga Comes to Hollywood

Three actresses are being tested for the lead role in James Cameron's adaptation of the classic manga/anime series "Battle Angel Alita".



Battle Angel (titled "Gunnm" in Japan) is a classic manga series by Yukito Kishiro of an amnesiac female cyborg who takes on a role as a bounty hunter in a post-apocalyptic future. Cameron is a long-time fan of the manga and waited for CGI technology to be sufficient enough for him to make the film.


Battle Angel has been released in English and was also adapted into an OAV series, and it is quite a worthwhile read. Don't expect the Hollywood version to come out anytime soon despite this news as Cameron is still committed to do the sequels for his Avatar film.
