Okay, this post is going to be a quick blurb because I have to sleep.

As most of the world knows,  James Cameron’s Avatar just received 9 nominations for this year’s 82nd  Annual Academy Awards in the categories such as Best Motion Picture of the Year and Best Achievement in Directing.There were many naysayers when Cameron embarked on this project, and I’m pleased by his success with this film.

As expected, moviegoers have their eyes set on a sequel to Avatar which is understandable, but I have my eyes set on Cameron’s next project – Battle Angel (2011) (based on Yukito Kishiro’s Manga – Battle Angel Alita/Gunnm).  Prior to the release of Avatar, Battle Angel was slated to be Cameron’s next film, but the possibility remains that this film will be sidetracked due to the overwhelming success of Avatar. The movie-going public demand to escape to Pandora once more, and Cameron has already promised that there would be a sequel. Though I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar in all of its 3D wonderment, I’ve patiently been waiting for James Cameron to film Battle Angel for years. Cameron has noted that he did not wish to begin this project until he had the proper technology to film it. Well, after viewing Avatar, I knew he had all the tools necessary to bring the Battle Angel’s futuristic dystopia to life. If the source material is adapted properly, the depth in characters, setting, and plot will jump out in 3D.

When in high school, I religiously read the  9 volume manga with the hopes of it being properly adapted for film.  I have complete faith that Cameron is the one director that can transform  Yukito Kishiro’s vision from page to 3D, American audiences will be blindsided in 2011 just as they were blindsided by Avatar in 2009.

Goodnight.
