Apparently Cameron, Rodriguez and Salazar did a YouTube Q&A when they dropped the trailer today and about five hundred people watched it. So yeah, prospects not looking too good there They've got my money though, the manga is my favourite comic of all time and I'm so loving stoked for this

I wonder what it's like to spend years of your life pouring yourself into something creatively, then it's just DOA before it even hits theatres and you know you're gonna have a failure from day 1 of release. That's gotta be a demoralizing experience. I guess you just try as best you can to relax and let time go by, hope that your work finds an audience as the years pass(which does happen pretty often so it's a realistic hope).

- Did she steal Zapan's sword? He has a similar one earlier on in the trailer. - When she busts through the sign at 2:16 you can freeze-frame and see her rollerblade feet. - The big eyes don't bother me much but I've never really been hit hard by uncanny valley stuff in general. - I want this movie to be good. - zerker body looks cool, but I'm a touch worried she's going to have a gang of latchkey kids (backs of their heads at 1:15) to hang out with though I can accept them if they all get brutally murdered. Also how did they get out of the scrapyard also those are way too many trees. - flan is civilization. that's all I got. Oh also worth pointing out that this now releases on the same day as Bumblebee and Aquaman.  An all CGI Christmas extravaganza!

I remember a couple of concept artists who were doing preproduction for this like over a decade when cameron was still gonna direct it showing their work and it really captured the cyberpunk-body horror look that the manga has, this seems way more generic and sterile from an art-direction angle. The manga has so much style and originality in it's aesthetic that this seems to really not have anymore. Also the eyes.

I like the imagery in this trailer, I don't like the music choice or the blunt exposition. She also looks like an animated character in every medium shot. Fights look good!

Tormented posted:Rosa Salazar is a sweetheart. Can confirm. She is one of 2 actors (out of many) that's ever smiled and talked to me as a lowly IT dude at the studio. Also the actual movie score was done by the same guy that did Mad Max Fury Road (Junkie XL), so don't let the lovely trailer music fool you.

Pacific Rim is actually what I was gonna say basically the worst case scenario for this movie is. Pacific Rim got "destroyed" by Grown Ups 2, but which of those movies got a sequel and is actually remembered by people? Hint: the one that doesn't have Adam Sandler.

I still wish they saved the motorball arc for the second film. The arena announcer yelling out "Aaa-leee-taaah!" would have been an amazing reintroduction to the character.

i'm pretty sure he just means the motorball stuff gets slightly set up earlier on and doesn't pop up out of nowhere, and that movie #2 is gonna be a more or less straight adaptation of the manga's motorball story like it's worth noting that the only major motorball character we have a casting for is Ajakutty

So, the Motorball from books three and four, and parts of the story of one and two will all be in the movie. From http://collider.com/battle-angel-james-cameron/ Things in the script might have changed since then, but I've watched/read several interviews where Cameron explicitly states the Motorball arc is a significant chunk of the first movie. [edit] From my bookmarks about the Battle Angel Alita movie, I saved an article from AICN where, during an interview from 2003, Cameron actually did intend to have Motorball be in the second film. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/14982 — for a more vintage reading experience, here's the article on the original site viewable in the way back machine archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20030504055500/http://moviehole.net/news.php?newsid=1448 Shows just how long this movie has been in development. [edit 2] More goodies. Apparently Cameron had a Mazinger Z film in development alongside Battle Angel. At the time of the article's publication, Battle Angel was a project he was collabing with Guillermo del Toro on (GDT introduced Cameron to the manga). http://www.aintitcool.com/node/7133 quote:like it's worth noting that the only major motorball character we have a casting for is Ajakutty Gelda (played by Michelle Rodriguez) is written as a Motorball player in the film apparently. teagone fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Jul 24, 2018 |

I wasn't sold on the first trailer but the second makes it seem a bit more interesting. I'll probably see this.

Also noting this appears to be suffering from GitS' 'copy the anime mostly but make the action look shittier' syndrome.

Wondering about the plot structure and how much we haven't seen from the trailer. Maybe it's polite to spoil this stuff? We have her intro, meeting hugo, realizing she's a combat borg with the scythe lady. Then presumably word gets back and she gets a (maybe unofficial) bounty on her head. In the fight with Makaku (or whatever they call him in the movie) she still has her original body, so presumably she loses / barely wins that fight and gets all hosed up? There's a bit with Ido limping into the the hunter hall with what I think is likely is her head in a bag? In the manga that's where he sticks her in the berserker body but in this it looks like she finds that with Hugo + gang while her original one is in good repair so I'm not sure when exactly she gets attached to it. Not a lot of berserker-body in action footage in the trailer and almost no motorball aside from the one shot of her busting through the display board. No real idea what the back half of the movie's structure will be -- maybe second act she runs away from Ido after he doesn't want to give her combat upgrades, then does motorball for a minute with the zerker before... dunno. Hugo stuff happens and he gets hunted, leading to her attacking the central factory where Vector presumably lives? That all assumes there isn't any trailer fakeouts, but I doubt they care enough for that sort of thing when it's not a Marvel movie.

I have no idea what to make out of Alita exploring that ship with those kids and finding her zerk body. But then again i haven't read the comics past when she encounters Desty Nova, so maybe it's all just a slightly altered part of her past?

It's probably a Chekhov's Berserker Body where she'll find it with the kids early on in the movie's run time but Ido will be like no that's obviously way too dangerous and powerful for you to use but then later on after she gets beaten up he'll attach her head to it.

Oh yeah, it's probably finds body -> ido won't tell her about it (bit in trailer where she smashes a cart, the body is on the table behind them) -> gets in fight -> ido says 'oh derp maybe you needed this.' Still not sure where motorball fits in. E: I just mean if they're supposedly doing a FULL motorball arc. I'm thinking all the above happens by the 1/2ish point in the movie and she thinks she dealt with the threat and does a bit of ballin' then oops Hugo is still running around being a putz and Zapan goes after him, then mini revenge arc. No confrontation with Jashugan and all, that's too much to pack in. Do we think Hugo bites it the same way? I sincerely hope so. NmareBfly fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jul 24, 2018 |

I kind of get the vibe that the movie is a more or less straight adaptation of vol. 1-2, with Makaku swapped out for Grewcica from the OVA (presumably because lmao at the idea of trying to do Makaku well in a PG-13 movie), the berserker body shuffled up a little earlier, and some of the earlier bits of the motorball stuff shuffled in to get that 2:30 runtime.

After watching the trailers, I'd believe those eyes are a combat feature meant to trap the brain between an instinctive protective response to infant mammals and the uncanny valley.
