James Cameron to Direct Battle Angel Following Avatar Sequels
18 April 2012 11:35 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
In a new interview with MTV, James Cameron revealed his thoughts on Battle Angel, the Manga adaptation that he has been developing. The director told the site that while the project is still very much in the cards, it will have to wait until after he is done with the two back-to-back sequels to his smash sci-fi hit, Avatar. And for fans, that means Battle Angel is still a ways off.
“‘Battle Angel’ is just a great, kick-ass story,” said Cameron, “…[But] I see the good that the ‘Avatar’ franchise can do in terms of keeping a world audience cognizant of our relationship with nature, but doing it in an entertainment context. Ultimately, I think there’s more good to be done there than with ‘Battle Angel’.”
Based on the Japanese Manga by Yukito Kishiro, Battle Angel is set in a cyborg-dominated 26th century, 300 years after society fell to a catastrophic war. »

Roland Emmerich will direct ‘White House Down’
3 April 2012 3:43 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Like some sort of megalomaniac super villain, Roland Emmerich is a man who loves nothing more than to blow things up and smash the world to smithereens in more elaborate and ridiculous ways. Whether it be with aliens (‘Independence Day’) a giant mutated lizard (‘Godzilla’), the weather (‘The Day After Tomorrow’) or just through the simplicity of neutrinos and polar shifts (’2012′), Emmerich is a man who loves to destroy the world. He’s even taking to destroying a certain bard’s reputation (‘Anonymous’), but now it looks like Emmerich will be back to his old tricks by signing on to direct Sony spec script ‘White House Down’ from writer James Vanderbilt.
Last week it was reported that Sony had snatched up Vanderbilt’s script for the hefty price of $3 million, the highest sum for a spec so far this year. Plot details are so far kept under wraps but the »
