It seems this will finally happen. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/james-cameron-robert-rodriguez-teaming-832157\" target=\"_blank\">According to reports out of Hollywood<\/a>, <strong>Robert Rodriguez<\/strong> has signed to direct a live action adaptation produced by James Cameron&#8217;s and <strong>Jon Landau<\/strong>&#8216;s Lightstorm Entertainment. Reportedly, the project is titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robert-rodriguez.info\/alita-battle-angel-2018\/\"><strong>Alita: Battle Angel<\/strong><\/a> and there is a script by <strong>Laeta Kalogridis<\/strong> (&#8220;Shutter Island&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>From the press release, Cameron says &#8220;Robert and I have been looking for a film to do together for years, so I was pumped when he said he wanted to do <em>Battle Angel.<\/em> He&#8217;s very collaborative and we&#8217;re already like two kids building a go-kart, just having fun riffing creatively and technically. This project is near and dear to me, and there&#8217;s nobody I trust more than Robert, with his technical virtuosity and rebel style, to take over the directing reins. We&#8217;re looking forward to learning a lot from each other while we make a kick-ass epic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robert Rodriguez adds: &#8220;<em>Battle Angel\u00a0<\/em>is an incredibly rich and vibrant epic in the tradition of\u00a0Jim Cameron&#8217;s spectacular, character-driven films.\u00a0Getting to work from Jim\u2019s terrific and visionary script while learning the cutting edge techniques he\u2019s pioneered is a master class in filmmaking. It&#8217;s\u00a0an honor to explore the world of <em>Alita<\/em> along with Jim and Jon, whose films have\u00a0impacted me for decades.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is what Robert tweeted:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Honored to finally collaborate with long time hero and friend Jim Cameron!
