Academy Award winning actor Christoph Waltz is in early negotiations to star in the James Cameron produced adaptation of the manga series Alita: Battle Angel. The popular series is set in a post-apocalyptic future, and focuses on Alita, a cyborg who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor who rebuilds and takes care of her. Waltz would portray Doctor Dyson Ido, the cyber surgeon who finds Atila and mentors her to becoming a bounty hunter. The film is set to be directed by Robert Rodriguez, who is no stranger to adapting comics, faithfully bringing Sin City to the big screen.
