20th Century Fox began streaming the first Japanese trailer for Alita: Battle Angel, Robert Rodriguez’s live-action film of Yukito Kishiro’s Battle Angel Alita (GUNNM) manga, on Tuesday.
The protagonist’s name in the film is also Alita in Japanese, not Gally as in the original Japanese version of the manga.
Set in the 26th century, Alita: Battle Angel tells of a female cyborg that is discovered in a trash yard by a scientist.
The trailer features the same footage as the first English trailer, but confirms that the film wll be released with the Alita: Battle Angel title in Japan, and not with the manga’s original GUNNM (銃夢) title.
