Live action ghost in the shell

DreamWorks to Make 3D Live-Action Ghost in the Shell - Anime News Network

Usually I would curse at this point but with spielberg involved this might be good. I hope they make it dark like the tv series and movies and not like the not so great manga.

DreamWorks to Make 3D Live-Action Ghost in the Shell

Steven Spielberg calls Shirow's cyber-police manga "one of my favorite stories"

The American film production company DreamWorks has revealed that it has licensed the rights to adapt Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell cyber-police manga into a 3D live-action film. The story of an elite paramilitary unit in future Japan has already been adapted into three animated films and two television anime series. DreamWorks has released the second animated Ghost in the Shell film, Innocence, in North America. DreamWorks also released Millennium Actress and produced Transformers, another live-action science-fiction film with Japanese roots.

Variety reports that Universal and Sony also negotiated for the rights, which the Production I.G anime studio was pitching for the manga's original publisher Kodansha. What turned the dealmaking in DreamWorks' favor was co-founder Steven Spielberg's enthusiasm for the project. The entertainment trade newspaper quotes the acclaimed director and producer: "Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories. It's a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks."

Avi Arad (formerly of Marvel Studios as well as of the Spider-Man and X-Men movie franchises), Arad's son Ari, and Seaside Entertainment's Steven Paul brought the project to DreamWorks and will produce. Jamie Moss (Street Kings, Last Man Home) has been assigned to script the project.

Original ghost in the shell movie. The sequel innocence that came out a few years ago. And the movie based on the tv show that came out a year ago called solid state society.

The show and the solid state movie were awesome.

Not really interested in a live action movie at all, would rather see Cameron's Battle Angel now thats going to be some hardcore shit.

Yeah the tv show was amazing, by far one of the better shows in the past few years.

And lol at battle angel, I'm not even convinced he will ever make it at this point.

Avatar is in post right now,so should be close to coming out soon. Although Avatar looks gay as hell,at least hes done with it.

There in prepro for Alita so barring Cameron going insane we should see the movie in the next 5 years or so. I can wait that long since thats the kind of movie he will hit out of the park.

I haven't gotten around to watching the first two movies, but the TV series and the movie based on it are among my favorite anime ever. Since Spielberg is involved and he seems passionate about the series, that alone gives me great hope for this. Don't fuck it up, Hollywood.

I hope these all come out around the same time.

Akira, Battle Angel, and now this.

Maybe it's the next evolution of untapped movie rip offs, or maybe they really do have a love for this stuff. All three of these movies are epic stories.

Relax though...I mean can these really be as bad as Transformers? (knocks on wood).

Personally, I hope they all bomb horribly so they stay away from anime.

Akira and angel will probly be very good judging by the people attached to those movies.

Ghost in the Shell will probly be a stinker....
