In anticipation of Alita: Battle Angel (the live-action adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s recently re-released Battle Angel Alita manga) out this December, three of the creative forces behind this adaptation of a cyberpunk classic will be stopping by: director Robert Rodriguez, producer Jon Landau and Alita herself, Rosa Salazar.
Most of the guests you’ll find at Crunchyroll Expo hail from the anime and manga industries and YouTube.
You can thank him for your childhood. Rodriguez’s knack for grit makes him the perfect candidate to bring Alita: Battle Angel from manga to the silver screen.
