20th Century Fox has revealed the first Alita: Battle Angel trailer after debuting it at Comic-Con over the weekend. It is based the famed manga series by Yukito Kishiro.
James Cameron and Jon Landau produced the adaptation with Robert Rodriguez directing. Rosa Salazar stars as Alita, who awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognise. She is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realises that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis wrote the script.
Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein and Jackie Earle Haley also star.
Fox has set a December 21 release date.
