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

Variety Magazine reports that DreamWorks, with the eager urging of studio co-founder Steven Spielberg, has acquired the rights to produce an American 3-D live action film based on Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell manga series. “Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories,” Spielberg said. “It’s a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks.”

Screenwriter Jamie Moss (Street Kings) will create a story and script. Avi Arad, producer on the Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four film franchises; his son Ari Arad; and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment will produce.

DreamWorks distributes the second Ghost in the Shell anime feature film, Innocence, in America. Spielberg has been an acknowledged fan of anime since, at least, the mid 1980s.

Because it's 3-D and not live action, im actually looking forward to it since it might not blow.

Well it has a pretty good American pedigree coming from an even better Japanese pedigree, so here's hoping that it isn't a train wreck.

Once that come over to Briton i'll like to see it, i think that it won't be as good as the anime (or the anime films).

Sounds pretty good. Although, personally i think id rather see an actual live action GITS.

That would be interesting, but I shudder to think at the "Hollywood" casting they'd try and throw at it...
