Christoph Waltz is in talks for Robert Rodriguez’s Battle Angel Alita
The cast and crew for that adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s Battle Angel Alita seems to be slowly coming together. First, Robert Rodriguez took up the directing mantle from James Cameron, who’s apparently still co-writing the film with Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island). Then we learned that Rosa Salazar (Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials) would be stepping into the titular role as an amnesiac, martial-arts-expert cyborg bounty hunter. (Yes, this is based on a manga comic book series. How did you guess?) And now we’re finding out that two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz is likely to take on another big part in the film.
