The first trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s "Alita: Battle Angel" has arrived.

Based on the hit manga turned anime series, "Alita: Battle Angel" is an upcoming science fiction action film produced by visionary filmmaker James Cameron and Jon Landau, and directed by Rodriguez.

Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Maze Runner’s 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.

A 20TH Century Fox feature film, "Alita: Battle Angel" will open July 2018 in Philippine cinemas to be distributed by Warner Bros.

MANILA -- Miss Universe Asia 2024 Chelsea Manalo said the new candidates for Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) are "in good hands" and wants them to "enjoy" the journey to the crown.

This, after MUPH announced Miss Universe 2013 3rd runner up Ariella Arida as its new national director.

"I got a little emotional because I know how it feels to be in their shoes. It’s so fast! So, I just want them to have the best time, of course, with the new member of MUPH, Ariella Arida, our new national director,” Manalo said.

"I know they're gonna have the best time... I just want them to enjoy it. This is a new set of batch of girls competing, but not for the crown but  within themselves," she added.

Meanwhile, Arida said the new position is "a big responsibility" on her part shared that her first goal was to have a Miss Universe titlist in her debut year as a national director.

"Everyone is unique. At the end of the day, you're competing within yourself and don't forget to have fun. I think that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed my journey during my time," Arida said.
