Maze Runner’s Rosa Salazar to lead Robert Rodriguez’s Battle Angel Alita film
James Cameron finally gave up on helming a Battle Angel Alita film last fall when he named Robert Rodriguez as his successor for the adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s manga series he’s been trying to get off the ground for years. Cameron’s not exactly walking away from the project though—he’s set to co-write the screenplay with Shutter Island scribe Laeta Kalogridis. And it looks like Cameron et. al. have just found their lead actress, as Collider just broke the news that Rosa Salazar (Man Seeking Woman, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials) will play the titular cyborg.
