Mr 9.8 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 According to The Hollywood Reporter, Desperado director Robert Rodriguez is in talks to direct James Cameron‘s Battle Angel Alita. The Aliens director had been developing Battle Angel along side a number of projects, including Avatar, since the turn of the century. I'd rather Rodriguez direct this than Cameron. My only fear is Hollywood being hollywood they'll just whitewash the lead like with Motoko in the upcoming GITS. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/10/14/robert-rodriguez-to-direct-battle-angel-alita/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to achieving profitability, the CGI-spectacular may never arrive at that particular destination. With a production budget hovering at $170 million (Fox says tax incentives lowered costs that were once north of $200 million) and tens of millions more in marketing and distribution costs, executives at rival studios estimate “Alita: Battle Angel” will need to gross roughly $500 million globally to get out of the red. Insiders at Fox say the break-even number is closer to $350 million. It’s too early to completely write off the film. But even though the movie has made $130 million worldwide so far, it’s unlikely that “Alita” will reach those box office heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I saw it last night and it was pretty good. Action was good and flowed pretty well. It was my first 3-d movie in awhile so it's always nice to see a big visual movie with stuff flying out at you. I'd give it a C+/B- ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like it will do Venom or Aquaman China numbers. It`s becoming apparent now non-DC/Marvel comic book properties the majority of the time haven't had success at the box office recently. If it`s not a Marvel/DC property and instead a non-Marvel/DC comic book property the odds are slim to none it will be a box office hit, especially domestically. Hellboy was a long time ago. Hoping Bloodshot can break the spell, so Marvel/DC can have more comic book competition at the box office.

Jimbo749 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just went to see this movie based on the trailer only, not knowing the character/series and still enjoyed it. Special effects were pretty cool. Some of the fight scenes were pretty violent, much more than I expected. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know both Tim Burton and James Cameron have both been linked to going to direct it over the years. When both Burton and Cameron are interested that means this ip has great potential. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
