posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Creative production company iam8bit revealed last month that it is hosting the "Passport to Iron City" real-escape game experience based on Alita: Battle Angel, James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez's live-action film of Yukito Kishiro's Battle Angel Alita (GUNNM) manga. The experience is available now in Los Angeles, New York, and Austin, and runs through March 3.
The company describes the escape game:
Live like a local in Iron City: join your team for exclusive drinks at the Kansas, the famous hunter-warrior watering hole, and explore the vibrant streets of Iron City, where you'll interact with the City's gritty residents and visit familiar landmarks, from the infamous cyborg scrapyards to the high-energy Motorball Stadium.
The film will open in the United States on February 14, after being delayed twice previously from July 20, 2018 and December 21, 2018. The film will also have an IMAX release.
The movie stars Rosa Salazar (Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, Man Seeking Woman) in motion capture as Alita.
Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Sin City, Spy Kids) is directing the film. James Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment partner Jon Landau are producing the project, and Shutter Island's Laeta Kalogridis penned a script. Singer-songwriter Dua Lipa is performing a new song titled "Swan Song" for the film.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rodriguez said that the film is a self-contained story but "it tunes up a world and a character that could go on and on." Cameron originally planned for a film trilogy.
