See James Cameron's Battle Angel concept art

Five pieces of concept art from James Cameron's Avatar follow-up Battle Angel have gone online and they're pretty impressive, as you can see by going into our gallery on the right.

We particularly like the Reef City image - complete with weird floating skyscrapers - but a couple of the shots do remind us of *gulp* Speed Racer. But we're sure we're still suffering from post-traumatic stress from seeing that one at the cinema.

Manga Adaptation

Cameron's 3D Manga adaptation has been talked about for longer than Avatar but these concept shots are the closest we've come to seeing it come to life. Still, that's more than we can say for Avatar. How we'd love to come across concept shots for that one.
