Spielberg to Remake Ghost in the Shell
Via Wired News
Manga classic Ghost in the Shell will receive a 3-D, live-action makeover from Steven Spielberg.
Shirow Masamune’s 1989 graphic novel, which inspired the Wachowski Brothers to create The Matrix, also spawned TV series and movies including DreamWorks’ 2004 Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (pictured). Bullish on both anime and 3-D, DreamWorks beat out Universal and Sony to secure the rights from former Marvel Comics mastermind Avi Arad.
Another classic gets a Hollywood makeover ! Ghost in the Shell(wiki) is a cyberpunk-inspired detective thriller featuring a dark futuristic setting where cybernetic implants and cyborgs are just part of everyday life. The stories revolves around a covert team named Section 9 that investigates cyber crimes. I just hope Spielberg doesn’t tone down the violence in this adaptation.
