'Titanic¹' director James Cameron showed up in Beijing Monday evening, promoting his upcoming sci-fi epic² "Alita: Battle Angel".

 

《泰坦尼克号》导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆周一晚间在北京现身，为新电影《阿丽塔：战斗天使》做宣传。
 

 

He disclosed that the Alita story shares similar theme with Titanic.

 

"They are all very different, but they are all similar. You know, I mean 'Titanic' was a romantic story with two young lovers, and so is Alita. You know and it's also, just said, 'Titanic' was a story a woman learns her place and her power to be herself. There are similar themes in Alita."

 

The film, adapted from the Japanese manga Gunnm (ganmu) by Yukito Kishiro, centers on a cyborg who looks like a beautiful young woman and cannot remember anything of her past life.

 

Rosa Salazar plays this female Battle Angel. Showing up together with James Cameron, she explained how she's brought the computer-generated role of Alita to life.

 

"I drive Alita, just as Alita in the movie has a brain, but needs to be put into a body. I have the brain that is put into this body. And when I see her on screen, we share something that is quite unique; we are two parts of a whole."

 

"Alita: Battle Angel" will open across the Chinese mainland on Feb 22.
