Looks like James Cameron has committed to Battle Angel as the first of his next two films.
The director has been notoriously difficult to pin down, but now a casting company has put out a call for a role that sounds suspiciously like the Battle Angel.
The ad calls for female applicants age 16 to mid-20s who are athletic and agile with graceful movement and have an ear for languages and dialects. The film, a big-budget adaptation of a 12-part Japanese Manga series set in the 26th century that focuses on 14-year-old female cyborg named Alita.
20th Century Fox has the film, which is scheduled for a February start and 2007 release.
