In Dark Angel, Jessica Alba played Max AKA X-5 452, a genetically-engineered super-soldier who lives in post-apocalyptic Seattle circa 2020 after she and a dozen other transgenic children escaped from a government facility called Manticore. Related: Dark Angel Season 3: Why The Show Was Canceledĭark Angel and Alita: Battle Angel are clearly sister projects cut from the same mold. Sadly, despite James Cameron's pedigree, Dark Angel only lasted two low-rated seasons on FOX while Alita Battle Angel wasn't anywhere close to the box office smash Avatar was, and it may not get a sequel. But Alita was never far from his mind and Cameron "borrowed" many of Battle Angel: Alita's concepts for Dark Angel, including the derivative title (which is never uttered in the TV series). The Terminator and Aliens director began developing a feature film adaptation of Alita in 1999 a project he would push back several times, especially when he commenced production on Avatar. In the late-1990s, Guillermo del Toro introduced Cameron to Battle Angel: Alita, the popular manga by Yukito Kishiro that was first published in 1990. Eglee borrowed a great deal from Alita when they created Dark Angel for FOX in 2000.
