I don't know if anyone else has a soft spot for this Manga and Anime, but I've always liked it.

Just found out from following the link to IMDB on the John Williams thread that James Cameron is working on a film based on it for possible release in 2009 (see here)

Do you think he'll make a fair stab at it or will it be yet another movie based on a graphic novel / comic / manga that doesn't do the original justice?

Holy thread resurrection!

Anyone heard any more about this? IMDB is showing it as being "Pre-production".

James Cameron is doing Avatar first so Battle Angel might be some way away.

It sounds a very good idea for a film and Cameron is the king of sci-fi/action so I hope it does get made.

Blimey, there are a few films called "Avatar", aren't there? (clicky)

Presumably we're talking about this one (fairly obviously as it has the director and writer as James Cameron). I'll have to go and dig up some info since IMDB is so lacking.

Thanks for the heads-up. thumbup
