Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

Calling it now. Next decade will see the first big-budget live-action Hentai. It'll happen.

you couldn't do Tetsuo's mutation live action without it being... repulsive

Because it was so adorable in the anime?

Could you call the cast list for the 2021 La Blue Girl film, I can't be bothered

Thing about anime adaptations, and Alita's blessed avoidance of the "born sexy yesterday" trope. And the problem of no-one having heard of it. Oh well.

The release date for this has been pushed back from July to December where it will be in a tough fight to get noticed.

Wonder if this is getting buried or more work is being done on it? It can't take five months just to reduce the size of her eyes?

[Bad Ambassador]

It'll also be opening opposite Aquaman and Mary Poppins 2 (yes, that's a real film), so it'll probably get lost in the noise.

New trailer which does look better, but I still can't get over the eyes. There are times when you shouldn't stick too closely to the manga.

Good video. It's actually sold me on the comic.

Only just saw this today - Battle Angel Alita sequel could be on after film's worldwide box office closes better than many expected.

I didnt even realise it had come out. And nobody here went to see it (or if they did, they didn't comment in this thread)? Or was there another thread?

[Mister Six]

Oh that's weird. I just jumped into this thread as it was what came up on Google. I saw it and I'm sure there was some chatter on here....

Oho!

I'll post the link in there as well, redundant as it may be.
