Hurray for more shallow pseudo-green messages being beaten into the heads of viewers, instead of a great cyberpunk manga series being turned into a movie.

Then again he wanted to remove most of the violence like giving Cyborgs blue blood, etc. Maybe it's for the better.

Still sad for the production crew which had been working on it. Like that guy who was working on how to visualize the Scrapyard for the movie.

Also guess that's it. No more GUNNM movie now. No one else will have an interest in making it.

PS: By the way, in the week after watching AVATAR i went through a local forrest and on my way back home went over a bridge from which i could see giant cloud mountains. It was then that i realised how friking beautifull our own Earth is how cheesy and lame the forrests in the movie looked. Seriously LED forrests? Yeah sure, nice LSD dream but can't beat a good punch by mother natures visuals. When the visuals are gone the movie is rather flat and too one sided in it's green message.

The thing I fiund strange is that there is no official news from Cameron. I mean he just gave up a movie he promised for years. Possible this video is the only news we have ?

Or is he just saying this to stop the Battle Angel question from being asked again and again?

Actually my video is from May 10 2012 your article is 8 May 2012 XD . But it seams the same old story "later later later ( maybe never) "

And that's what Cameroon is trading Gunnm with ^^

And Dances With Wolves too. The plot, at least the first movie, was already done to death. I don't care. The world building and the visuals were what made the movie. Seeing the familiar plot made it far more beliveable.

After all, Alien was just a B-grade monster movie, and what made it was the world building, the technical standpoint (and visuals, that Alien suit had plenty of macaronni on it), and the well-played cast. Not everything is plot, after all.

In any case, I hope, if the movie gets eventually done, that we get Dafoe Nova; that huge mouth and insane expressions are PERFECT.

Edit: Quoth TVTropes:

James Cameron has made many critically acclaimed films, but it seems that to many on the internet and even in TV Tropes, the more viewers his films get, the worse the film is. If it's popular enough, the film is placed in the same class as a Michael Bay or Uwe Boll film. The most notable examples:

Titanic at first actually got a decent amount of public and critical acclaim. The backlash set in both after it was clear it was going to make hundreds of millions, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until Avatar came out, and the loads of Oscar nominations and wins it got.

When Avatar came out, it had a skyrocket of public acclaim and defining the standard of the 3-D Movie, with many proclaiming 'Oh man, Avatar was awesome!', only for about a few months later when it became the highest-grossing film of all time, a huge hatedom came out and proclaimed it as one of the worst films of all time while quite a few of its fandom changed their mind and stated 'Yeah, it's just Pocahontas in space'. Conversely, The Hurt Locker; which was directed by Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow, was Left for Dead as a box office flop until somehow, it came out of nowhere around awards time to huge critical acclaim, with many proclaiming, 'Avatar is Lame. This is Best Picture right here'. Its momentum would be enough to upset and punch out Avatar at the Oscars and the BAFTAs, including the Best Picture award for both (and making it the lowest-grossing film of all time to win Best Picture), leaving Avatar to only beat Hurt Locker in the Golden Globes.

So yeah, everybody is bandwagon hopping in the "It's Popular, Now It Sucks" movement. Heaven forbid Gunmm becoming popular if said movie happens and is sucessful, I can see everybody, myself included, bashing the influx of new fans, to be honest.

Nnope, not going to happen. Here's the latest (source: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/169610 ... nist.jhtml)

Looking for information on James Cameron's next project? So is the protagonist of his next film, "The Informationist."

Cameron will direct and produce the film adaptation of Taylor Stevens' "The Informationist" after finishing up the second and third "Avatar" sequels. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment have picked up the movie rights to the Stevens' thriller.

The complicated heroine of "The Informationist," Vanessa Munroe, has been likened to author Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander (of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"). Our action hero is, as the title suggests, an "informationist," or one who gathers useful info about developing nations for corporate entities.

However, those looking forward to Cameron's work with "The Informationist" should plan to be patient — Cameron's main focus is "Avatar."

"I'm in the 'Avatar' business. Period. That's it," he told The New York Times in May. "I'm making 'Avatar 2,' 'Avatar 3,' maybe 'Avatar 4,' and I'm not going to produce other people's movies for them. I'm not interested in taking scripts."

Cameron recently told MTV News that he is even toying with the idea of making a fourth "Avatar" film, but this one as a prequel to the series. "I have an idea for a fourth. I haven't really put pen to paper on it, but basically, it goes back to the early expeditions of Pandora, and kind of what went wrong with the humans and the Na'vi and what that was like to be an explorer and living in that world," he said.

But the fourth installation of "Avatar" exists solely in the filmmaker's head, and as Lightstorm partner Jon Landau insists, the duo will only be working on the first two sequels back-to-back for now.
