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.
discount MEW.
she has two glass eyes then?
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.
Rodriguez is directing it, but it's Cameron's script
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
alright
>casting a hispaniard instead of an asian
Where are all the hypocrites who bitched about Scarlet Johansson now?
That's a bit reassuring.
Prep for SJW complaining about white washing, again.
Watch SKARCH Trials.
She's top qt in it.
just because mexicans check Caucasian on their Wic forms doesn't make it true
>white washing
a fucking robot?
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.
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.
Naw, they'll applaud it for casting a Latina actress rather than a white girl.
atleast shes not black
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.
He has to make Avatar 4 first before we ever see this.
source?
Why can't we get martians to portray martians?
It's probably coming next year.
GUNNM is by its nature going to piss of a ton of sjw's it's a brutal setting and women get obliterated in gory awful ways left and right.
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.
I'm actually okay with this. Black hair, short, and a qt, I could see her as Gally.
>Jessica Alba in her prime
Either go prime Lacey Chabert or go home.
More of this weeb shit?
I'm fucking sick of this new fad already.
>women get obliterated in gory awful ways left and right.
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.
>Paying any attention to SJW
As soon as i see words like "white washing" or any other SJW buzzwords, i simply ignore and move on the next shit. No comment, no disscusion, no bait clicking, NOTHING. Any aknowledgment of these mentally ill people is contributing to thier cause. You'd be wise to do the same
*cyborg
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.
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.
maybe when she was a little girl on Mars
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
>nanomachine body
she can have skin is she wants too, son
>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.
>she can have skin is she wants too, son
not if they're following the beginning of the series. Gally has never bothered to have human skin anyway.
Muh dick
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.
Wait, Yoko was never a full human, even as a child? I really gotta catch up on LO, but I heard it devolved into endless tourney shit
she made me hard in that maze runner movie
>human skin
that's kind of gross and macabre
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
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
It's kinda cute that Alita still makes the effort to cover herself up even though it's not exactly necessary
Alita a cute
Has Rodriguez ever made a good, non-cheesy film?
what a qt
the tourney stopped a while ago
don't know what's going on currently or if it ended
>no genitals/nipples/jiggle physics
if i remember right sometimes she gets hooked up with an off the shelf body
i'd imagine they might be anatomically correct, but knowing the Scrap Yard who can say
as for jiggles she has right amount most of the time to do so
i think they do in Last Order because nanomachines
CUTE
Since when is Gally Hispanic?
She's a black haired half Japanese half German.
Alba is superior.
who gives a shit,it is make believe you fucking nigfer
Hispanic is perfect then since they're half caucasian half mongoloid
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.
>don't know what's going on currently or if it ended
It was cancelled before it finished.
...
>calling Gally Alita
>renaming Jeru/Zalem Kerheres/Tiphares so as no to offend Jews.
Americans....
well, that's dicks
at least i still have Guyver for muh 80's manga
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.
>not Japanese
Will this whitewashing ever end?
i wasn't aware of this chick
>already 30
she's pretty qt though, shades of several other actress' in that face of hers.
>wears conservative clothing even though she doesn't need to
>has only been with two men, one of whom she still thinks of fondly even though he died like a million years ago
>has only gone as far as kissing
Gally is pure.
How come weebcucks haven't made any new memes in over 6 years?
I liked her in that Toyota commercial
>I imagine feeling her up would be the same as rubbing your hands on the hood of a car or something.
stop, i can only get so erect
Excuse me?
Good point. I just looked at his IMDB hoping he had a little range but I guess that's not the case.
Whatever, it's better to not expect much these days from any kind of "licensed IP".
If cameron isnt doing it then i dont fucking care.
>replace Cameron with Rodriguez
>Can't resist casting a latina
wd(You)mbt?
There is no excuse for you, spic.
WHEN WILL THE SPICWASHING END ?!?111
Me too
>Gally is pure.
Well, yeah. She doesn't have organs in her body sending her brain hormonal messages constantly.
Didn't she fall for that Rollerball guy though?
Cameron's version would've had a retarded plot and terrible dialogue, but at least it would've looked nice, I guess.
Rodriguez is a fucking cheapskate who can't into script or special effects.
>tfw Yukito Kishirou had to rush the ending of the original manga because he was literally dying
>tfw he's now healthy and has the chance to take the series where he originally wanted it to go
>tfw it gets cancelled
Poor guy ;_;
>That's a bit reassuring.
>Cameron's script
Fuck that. Cameron's biggest weakness is his writing.
White trash detected
At least I don't kiss my cousin
Oh great now Hispanics are gonna be White again so they can guilt on us Whitewashing for this too
That didn't stop her from having a hardcore schoolgirl crush on Yugo and fall for Figure later on.
Yes, I am a Cuban just like BANE
I am Bane himself
He's producing and writing it.
that was a manly rivalry
there was that boy that wanted to get to Tiphares that she had a girl crush on, but i think that was just in the OVA
then there was Figure 4 whom she did get adult romantic feelings for
BANE?
Jashugan? She looked up to him, but she wasn't in love with him.
She's only ever been interested in two guys IIRC.
that move will never be made.
>but i think that was just in the OVA
Nah m8, that was also in the second volume of the manga, which is what the OVA was mostly based on.
isn't Mars Chronicle still running?
>mfw Sup Forums hates the OVA
>mfw Japs apparently didn't like it either because they didn't think Gally was cute enough
Plebs, all of them
i read the original thing like a million moons ago
thanks for the memory jog though
>Alba is superior.
And she can't fucking act.
Latinos can be white if they don't have Native American blood.
But most are mixed mongrels.
With a body like this who fucking cares
Except body doesn't matter since she'd be playing a robot.
Yeah and black people can be white if they don't have any African blood.
Not Kyle
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).
>Except body doesn't matter since she'd be playing a robot.
Are you fucking stupid.
>>tfw he's now healthy and has the chance to take the series where he originally wanted it to go
>tfw it gets cancelled
last order ended, a new series called mars chronicles is still running
and it's fucking awful ;_____;
honestly we were better off with the first ending
