So, now that the first actors have been confirmed, are you looking foward to it? It's going to be directed after all that time anyway. How much of a downer is it that Robert Rodriguez fucking directs it instead of Cameron? Can he even do it?
I think Rodriquez is an okay director, and as long as Cameron is still footing the bill the special effects should look decent.
>>154545688
Honestly, after watching Avatar I think it's better that Rodriguez directs this. I think he can do a decent job tbqh. He likes using practical effects more than CGI. Cameron has gone senile and his movies have been shit recently. He obviously enjoys diving/exploring more than making films.
>>154548395
>He likes using practical effects more than CGI
But he also directed some CGI-filled schlock (and CGI-filled kino, Sin City)
>>154545688
How much is the movie going to cover? Until the race?
>Mahershala Ali as Vector
Well at least he looks the part, can't say much about the rest of the cast choices. Never heard of Rosa Salazar, but that might be a good thing.
>>154548520
Very true, but I'm thinking about James Cameron's present state of mind. He seems to be more interested in making visually stunning, yet vapid movies. While that's not to say Rodriguez wouldn't do the same, since most of his movies are more style over substance. I'd say he stands a better chance of doing something with it than Cameron at this point.
Honestly, I can't really think of anyone I would hand this adaptation to in Hollywood. I'd say Ridley Scott but he's kinda lost his touch. Spielberg doesn't seem to do movies anymore. Lucas is.....well he's not even a real choice. J.J. Abrams is an angry kike who only likes to make remakes. Wachowski trannies are a one hit wonder. I guess Christopher Nolan or his brother could maybe pull it off. I don't know.
>>154549839
I think the guy who did Ex Machina or Del Toro would be good.
>>154549955
It is of no matter at this point anymore, RR is doing it.
>>154545688
>Raped by Kishiro himself with last order
>Raped by Cameron to make Dark Angel tv series
>Raped by Kishiro again with the fucking abysmal third manga
>Now gangraped by the dynamic duo Cameron-Porkdriguez
There is no end to this shit. the original series committed the capital din of being too fucking good, and this is its punishment
>>154549839
Point is, both are shit director. Cameron became shit and Rodriguez has always been shit
I don't know how the fuck people can expect this to be something different than a pile of offensive steaming crap.
Do you have expectations for Ghost in the Scarjo too? come the fuck on
>>154548520
>Sin City is kino
As expected as someone that uses that kind of retarded terms
Rodriguez is a fine action movie director and Alita is nothing more than a fine action comic.
>>154550885
I never had any expectations for GitS movie. However, Battle Angel Alitta could work. The only reason I say that is because it's a mixture of I, Robot and Rollerball. GitS is a lot more existential, Battle Angel Alitta is more action.
That said, I doubt they will be able to do it justice regardless of the director. It would require a lot of money to be pumped into the movie to make the world of GUNNM look believable. Not to mention all the crazy looking Cyborgs in the series.
Also, I don't know how the hell they will adapt this thing in one movie. There is no way it will be even decent. Might be even worse than Madhouse adaptation from the 90s.
>>154545688
I'd much rather have Rodriguez instead of that worthless hack Cameron.
But really why not give it to Miike?
>>154552478
>That said, I doubt they will be able to do it justice regardless of the director. It would require a lot of money to be pumped into the movie to make the world of GUNNM look believable. Not to mention all the crazy looking Cyborgs in the series.
Are there any hollywood movies that have the same style of cyborg? Not the doll-type cyborg like ex machina, just pure steel, but still very human.
>>154553178
Robocop?
>>154553347
could see something like that in a background scene, though they're a bit too primitive-looking both in universe and from a filmmaking perspective
>>154545688
>So, now that the first actors have been confirmed, are you looking foward to it?
I have higher expectations for it than GitS. GitS live action is dead on arrival, but this one looks like it still has a chance.
>>154550713
how is it even possible that the same man made both battle angel alita and last order/mars chronicles
the latter is like a shonen
and barely even a good shonen
>>154553455
A chance to be even worse.
You guys are delusional
>>154553544
The secret ingredients were a ghost writer, the guy behind Residente Evil 2, which is only credited for a spin-off novel back in the day but is pretty evidently involved in helping Kishifuck with his crap storytelling skills, and Kishiro's brother that has been his only assistant for like ten years. Just look how style started plummeting while shifting to digital aka not needin anymore little bro.
Kishiro is just a hack with inflated ego
>>154553844
if that's true it makes sense
I just figured that whatever sickness he got that forced him to rush the first ending broke him and he didn't have the strength to carry on with the same quality as before
>>154553844
also what's that about his inflated ego
I don't think I really know anything about him personally
>>154545688
So is it just going to be an edge Spy kids?
>>154553607
>A chance to be even worse.
>You guys are delusional
You based this on WHAT? No, seriously, what do you know that the rest of us don't know?
>>154553913
I'm pretty positive that's all true, over the years I did a lot of research to understand the reasons of this guy artistic face/heel turn, and connecting the dots of this is what came out
t. the anon in every single fucking Alita thread since 2006
>>154553942
The major indicator was his autistic fit when Kodansha censored the eccessive swearing in Last Order. Months of hiatus, drama and fake announcements, resulting in him ragequitting and changing editor
>>154554423
I know that Hollywood movies suck terribly since few years ago. that should be enough
>>154553989
That... wouldn't even be that bad.
>>154554514
>I know that Hollywood movies suck terribly since few years ago. that should be enough
You have not explained why this film would suck "more" than live action GitS. Both are Hollywood, so if that's your explanation then you are being illogical. What is your basis that this film would be worse than GitS?
>GUNNM
>Hollywood
Wait what the fuck I thought they canned this shit
>>154554574
One of the worst director ever existed
Shitty actors
Its not popular
The script must have been around for twenty years and everyone and his mom wrote on it
Rodriguez
>>154554627
Anime is the new capeshit mine for the next 15 years
REJOICE
What's the next lucky series to get the Hollywood treatment for our viewing pleasure?
Place your best!
>>154554463
I believe you
I'm rereading the last bit of last order right now because I want to find a certain cyborg design that I remember standing out as pretty cool and the art and writing is just so completely different from the original that it's impossible that the same man would be responsible for both
like even something like the flow of the paneling is just abysmal, you could take one page from both series, redraw all the drawings with stick figures, and you would still be able to instantly tell the difference
as for the major hiatus, I remember that, though not really in detail, and I'll grant it to him that it would probably be fucking annoying to have publishers meddle in your stuff just because stupid shit like swearing or nudity or whatever people who don't actually give a shit about what you make find objectionable
but I suppose you can react in more and less dignified ways
>>154554574
personally I'll don't think it'll be very good, but i'll wait until we get a trailer
also I'm going to see it no matter what, I've been waiting for 10 years
>>154554887
>I've been waiting for 10 years
Me too
I can't believe it's actually happening after so long, I remember reading an article about it in an early-2000s issue of EGM.
Its going to be shit since its just primarily going to be a rollerball movie. No Desty Nova. We will get a little bit of volume 1, probably not alot, and probably a decent amount of volume 2 with Hugo. Then its just rollerball. Atleast this is what Cameron was doing.
Since the villain was cast to be a woman, I assume they swapped Jashugan to a girl.
>>154555208
motorball would be fucking amazing if well animated though
>Hey guys, don't be negative, maybe it will be fun at least!
>>154555319
Are they still doing a sequel for this shit
>>154555208
>Black Jashugan woman
>Gally x Shurelia
It writes itself
>>154555311
It would be so much CGI on top of speed-racer tier colors probably.
>>154555347
>>154555208
>Since the villain was cast to be a woman, I assume they swapped Jashugan to a girl.
reading up on it a bit seems like there are two unknown villains who have been cast, one female villain and the freddy krueger guy who plays a cyborg villain
that last one might be jashugan although you can't really call him a villain, the face isn't really that similar but they might CG the shit out of it
I have no idea what the first one could be, probably some stupid OC
I will never let go
NEVER!
