The movie Alita: Battle Angel (2018) is starting to achieve the proportions of deserving the title of one of the most expected movies of the year. It is directed by Robert Rodriguez based on a script written by Rodriguez together with James Cameron and his longtime collaborator Laeta Kalogridis, who also have the roles of producers of the film. Alita: Battle Angel (2018) will be a combination of the first four books in Yukito Kishiro‘s series of manga books. With a budget between $175 million and $200 million, plus the anticipated big amount of cash that will be destinated in advertisement, we are going to hear a lot about this movie from now until the days of its commercial release next summer.
One of the featurettes that have recently seen the light is this short half a minute behind the scenes clip where writer-director Robert Rodriguez and writer-producer James Cameron discuss how they came with the idea of this film adaptation. The clip is very short, and clearly there is much more behind the scenes footage to be released in the near future. But, so far, this is what the people from 20th Century Fox have decided to share via their official Youtube channel.
Alita: Battle Angel (2018) is starred by Rosa Salazar, Eiza González, Jennifer Connelly, Christoph Waltz, Michelle Rodriguez, Ed Skrein, Mahershala Ali, Jackie Earle Haley, Casper Van Dien, Jeff Fahey, Elle LaMont, Lana Condor and Marko Zaror among others. The official release date in Europe and the USA is the 20th of July this year.
