Film Adaptation
James Cameron is known not to want half measures in making films. The success of AVATAR is an example. Quoted from ABC, the film script itself has been written by Cameron since 2004, a project that is quite serious if the preparation takes up to 15 years.
For some people, ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL does look very familiar. The film was adapted by a manga titled Gunmm by Yukito Kishiro. James himself had received permission and a direct license from Yukito in 1999 to make his film.
