Project 880 - nur der Name war bisher in Gerüchten durchgesickert. Regisseur dieses Projekt: James Cameron. Der Rest: Unbekannt. Bis jetzt zumindest. Denn James Cameron hat Harry Knowles angerufen. Der ist bekanntlich der Kopf hinter Ain't it Cool.

PROJECT 880 is AVATAR, or as he put it, “a retooled version of AVATAR” We talked about the scriptment that got out and he said while he was annoyed that it got out, he realized it was really no different than adapting a novel, and that certainly adapting that scriptment, which was incredibly dense as it was, had been a great challenge in and of itself. Now he still doesn’t know if it is going to be BATTLE ANGEL ALITA or AVATAR that comes next. You see deep within the N.S.A. like security of LIGHTSTORM, Jim has been constructing a Virtual Production Studio completely unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. Within that space are two separate teams concurrently prepping and getting ready to shoot back to back essentially over a 3 year span, BATTLE ANGEL ALITA and AVATAR. Because of the films’ mutual lack of a BIG STAR in the lead role, his start up on filming isn’t having to be locked down. So both projects can be prepped right up to the last minute before he calls it as to which is getting made.

Ich weiß nicht ob ich mich auf eine Realverfilmung von "Battle Angel Alita" freuen soll, was einfach damit zu tun hat das Comic- oder Mangaverfilmungen als Realfilme meistens Arsch saugen - bis auf etliche Ausnahmen und ich freue mich schon riesig auf "V wie Vendetta" trotz der Gerüchte darüber, dass der Film vielleicht nicht so ganz mit dem Comic übereinstimmt - aber schön zu sehen, dass James Cameron nach immerhin 10 Jahren Pause doch neue Projekte am Start hat.
