[QUOTE="Art Waring, post: 8813154, member: 7037141"] And the technology side keeps evolving. One good recent example is Alita: Battle Angel, which actually has a legacy of two decades of waiting to come to fruition. Based on Yukito Kishiro's Gunnm (1990-1995), James Cameron was introduced to Gunnm through Gillermo Del Toro, and he then bought the rights to the Gunnm/ Alita OVA's in the early naughties with plans to develop it into a feature film. At the time however, the technology simply wasn't good enough, and they chose to make Avatar (still one of the biggest grossing films adjusted for inflation), and wait for the technology to evolve to the point that it could portray the main character as they intended. Avatar was a sort of beta test for the technology needed to create Alita. Unfortunately, Avatar's success took priority and they have several sequels in production while Alita sat on the backburner. The project was then picked up and directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Without Yukito Kishiro's Gunnm// Alita, we wouldn't have Avatar. [MEDIA=youtube]M2dTxMdBMoY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
