An early sneak peek clip from "Alita: Battle Angel" has been released online, offering a look at the titular cybernetic girl in action.

Watch Alita (performed in motion capture by Rosa Salazar) as she discovers her extraordinary fighting skills while going up against a lethal female cyborg assassin (played by Baby Driver's Eiza Gonzalez). It seems Alita is trying to defend herself and also protect her father-figure mentor, cyborg specialist Dr. Dyson Ido (played here by Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz).

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, the sci-fi action epic is the big-screen adaptation of the popular cyberpunk manga and anime series "Gunnm (aka Battle Angel Alita)" by Japanese artist Yukito Kishiro.

Before he handed the directing reins over to Rodriguez, Cameron was developing the movie project for over 15 years. He now serves as co-writer and also produces alongside his long-time producing partner Jon Landau (Avatar, Titanic).

"Alita: Battle Angel" is scheduled to open theatrically on February 14, 2019.

synopsis:
Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Rosa Salazar) is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens she has no memory of who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she finds herself in. Everything is new to Alita, every experience a first. As she learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield Alita from her mysterious past while her street-smart new friend, Hugo (Keean Johnson), offers instead to help trigger her memories. A growing affection develops between the two until deadly forces come after Alita and threaten her newfound relationships. It is then that Alita discovers she has extraordinary fighting abilities that could be used to save the friends and family she’s grown to love. Determined to uncover the truth behind her origin, Alita sets out on a journey that will lead her to take on the injustices of this dark, corrupt world, and discover that one young woman can change the world in which she lives.
