She doesn't look too bad for the part. Probably could be worse. I just don't want Rodriguez bringing the story down to grindhouse level cheesiness. There's a lot of pathos emitted from the characters in the manga that's probably going to be tossed out the window in this.

>>70076501

It's a shame Cameron didn't get this off the ground in the 90's. Jessica Alba in her prime.

No idea who this chick is.

More concerned about the fact that Rodriguez is directing.

It's a shame, because Alita has all the material for a great film.

Even with Elysium existing.
>>
She was bae in Parenthood
>>
>It Follows star Maika Monroe, Disney sensation Zendaya, and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials standout Rosa Salazar. Today, we have learned from sources that Salazar has landed the coveted role.

Also;

I have no idea who she is, but she's got to be better than the other two.

Monroe is a good actress and all, but I can't see her in the part at all...and Zendaya...ugh.
>>
>>70077848

Right shade of brown and cute. Can act but not famous enough to make demands. Gives plenty of extra to spend on the things that matter.
Pretty good casting

They've got no horse to bet on. IIRC Battle Angel technically takes place somewhere in the midwest of North America in the future. There's no white washing going on.
>>
>>70078967
Did you miss when they tried to change Iron Fist into an Asian?

Nonetheless this doesn't involve white males so they have no horse here.

>>70078840
Naw, they'll applaud it for casting a Latina actress rather than a white girl.

atleast shes not black
>>
>>70078774
Alita simply doesn't look asian.
Hell, Motoko Kusanagi doesn't look asian either, and is simply a custom body anyway, with a japanese brain. Any bitching about these two is stupid by default.
If you bitched about Akira's proposed casting though, now that would be justifiable.

Even if that's how it goes in the original, I doubt that's how it's going to be portrayed in the end.
And no, it wouldn't be the "SJWs" fault. It would simply be a bad idea to portray such violence against women without restraint.

So do men, though. If anything you'd think the SJW's would appreciate GUNNM because it's entirely about a badass, interesting female character who is rarely ever sexualized.

Hard to sexualize an entirely mechanical body with no skin.

Hope they keep it that way in the movie, otherwise she'll be a cheap Motoko copy.
>>
>>70079549
Is this really a fad? Anyway, this is a really old project that's been in Cameron's mind going back to the '90s when he was chillin' with Guillermo Del Tubbo at his house and he played him some Battle Angel lazer discs of the few animated shows that were made.

she's been full synthetic for a while now and even back when the professor first found her in the scrap heap her brain wasn't human standard

Is that some retarded thing they put in Last Order? I haven't kept up with that at all, but I thought she had a human brain. That was a big deal in the original series.

This pic is a good example of how Rodriguez could mess this up. Everything requires a lot of attention to detail except for those person/robot retaining bolts; they just need to be BIG SCREWS.
I bet Cameron would laugh his ass off about this and create a ten page guide for fx and props departments but Rodriguez will totally ignore it.

hell, the Major doesn't even have human skin
what they do have, i think your're forgetting about her head/face, is a substance that mimics flesh without being alive
they may not have literal meat covering their bodies, but they can still feel with every part
>>
>>70080395
Synthetic skin is the proper term.

Motoko looks entirely human and if she were to walk around naked it'd be lewd as fuck, whereas Alita is completely metallic from the head down and has no genitals/nipples/jiggle physics, etc. so she can strut around without clothes as much as she likes.

surprised Hollywood allowed a Hispanic to star in a film and didnt shoehorn another jew bitch

i'd imagine they might be anatomically correct, but knowing the Scrap Yard who can say

i think they do in Last Order because nanomachines

>>
>>70076501

She looks pretty good, I think she could make a good Gally.

The best fit for the part ever was young Jessica Alba, that's why Cameron used her for Dark Angel which he admitted was based off him reading BAA. But shes too old now.

Oh, she definitely has a nice body, but it's kind of impossible to have jiggle physics when it's made of hard machine. I imagine feeling her up would be the same as rubbing your hands on the hood of a car or something.

There were a couple or so times where Kishiro randomly made her chest sort of look like she had nipples when she was being repaired by Ido, but that's about it.

Would still klang klang though.

Latino is a geographical denomination, though, the same as African.

It's not my fault Amerifats don't know how to distinguish them and use African for nigs exclusively (when moors or Berbers are African too) or Latino for Amerindian-looking people (although they're the majority).
