AND FOR THEIR NEXT TRICK...

James Cameron and Mel Gibson are each sharing details about their next big projects. Cameron, out to deliver his first big-budget feature since Titanic, is prepping Battle Angel, an adaptation of a Japanese manga series (huh?) set in the 26th century and centered on a cyborg named Alita; a casting call has gone out for actresses between ages 16 and the mid-20s who are athletic, agile and have an ear for dialects. Meanwhile, per Variety, Gibson is developing Flory, an ABC TV-movie set against the backdrop of the Holocaust — news sure to be embraced by all of the Jewish folk who loved Passion of the Christ.
