Farhad2000says...Supposedly James Cameron is working on the first stereoscopic digital 3-D film of Battle Angel Alita. Ghosts of the Abyss was shot in 3-D, as will his next projects, Avatar, The Dive.
ravensays...oh dear... not James Cameron... well, maybe that means Jessica Alba will be in it, I could live with that.
ravensays...although I just checked good old IMDB... the film will be CGI, so I guess no Jessica Alba
ewrightsays...Alita indeed is the best manga series, period. The story, which consists of like 17 graphic novels at this time, explores the ramifications of a post-human world. In a time where your entire body can be replaced with machine parts, what is the essence of being human? What compels the human race to endlessly repeat its mistakes despite attempts at reengineering? What drives the human mind?
The artwork is unrivaled, the story is awesome, and Alita is the ultimate fighter.
Note that "Battle Angel Alita" is also known as GUNNM - literally "gun dream", referring not to dreaming of guns but +what a gun dreams of+.
Here is some earlier CG work that came out:

There is an Alita game for PS2 (Japan) called GUNNM: Martian Memory.
The novels are at most local comic stores ("Battle Angel Alita" is the first series, then "Battle Angel Alita: Last Order" is the new series, still ongoing):
