Alita: Battle Angel is a film that was a long time in the making. James Cameron first read Yukito Kishiro's Manga, Gunnm, twenty years ago. He wanted to make this into a film but due to his "Avatar" projects, "Alita" was put on the back burner. As time went on Cameron knew that he just couldn't fit the film in... Read More
