James Cameron co-wrote and produced director Robert Rodriguez‘s new film Alita: Battle Angel, based on the Japanese manga series “Gunnm” by Yukito Kishiro.
20th Century Fox brings us the official trailer today, home to tons of incredible effects that make this one look like a video game fused with a live-action movie.
It’s like seeing the manga come to life, which is pretty spectacular!
Set in the 26th century…
“Alita tells of a female cyborg that is discovered in a scrapyard by a scientist. With no memory of her previous life except her deadly martial-arts training, the woman becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down criminals. The action-adventure story is meant to serve as a backdrop to themes of self-discovery and the search for love.”
The cast includes Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley and Keean Johnson.
Cameron, Laeta Kalogridis and Robert Rodriguez wrote the script.
Cameron produced with Jon Landau.
Look for it in theaters July 20, 2018.
