Rodriguez is directing and James Cameron, who has been linked to the project since the late ‘90s when it was going to be his Titanic follow-up, is producing. Alita: Battle Angel is scheduled for release on July 20th, 2018.
The synopsis on THR:
Set in the 26th century, Alita tells of a female cyborg (Salazar) that is discovered in a scrapyard by a scientist. With no memory of her previous life except her deadly martial-arts training, the woman becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down criminals. The action-adventure story is meant to serve as a backdrop to themes of self-discovery and the search for love.
