"Little Splashers": nappies you can swim in

Stock up because I just got this in a Cinefex email newsletter:

Battle Angel Alita: Appearing on National Public Radio's Talk to the Nation on November 18, filmmaker James Cameron publicized his upcoming 3D Imax documentary Aliens of the Deep, and during the conversation confirmed that his next project will be a feature film adaptation of Yukito Kushiro's Japanese manga comic Battle Angel Alita, about a broken female battle robot found on a scrap heap and rebuilt to become an avenging angel in a post-apocalyptic future. The project is currently in shooting script form. Cameron stated, "A couple of things that will be interesting about this project ­- even though it's a live-action film, the main character will be done with CG animation. And the second thing that's interesting is we're going to be shooting it in 3D using the stereo imaging system that we've been developing for the documentaries."

Ahh bugger, I only just put these undies on.

I'm going to have a look around today for gossip sites etc, but if any of you know of any good ones let us know. I'm thinking of things like following on from the Ghost in the Shell franchise success that maybe people will think about taking Akira back on tour in some form or another, or some other classic worht revisiting. That said, the Ninja Scroll series was a bucket of bog.

I was wondering who they'd get to measure up to Alita. Jessica Alba is a name thrown around but not by James Cameron. Seems he's smart, Alita will stay unattainably cute by being CGI. Yay!
