Dreamworks in talks with screenwriter Leata Kalodridis to adapt famed anime Ghost in the Shell into a 3D live action film.
DreamWorks is making the futuristic police thriller as a 3D live-action film.
Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment are attached to produce and originally brought the project to DreamWorks.
Created by Masamune Shirow, “Ghost in the Shell” was first published in 1989. It went on to generate two more manga editions, three anime film adaptations and an anime TV series. The second anime film, “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence,” was released in the U.S. by DreamWorks in 2004.
Jamie Moss was the original writer hired when DreamWorks bought the property last year.
Kalogridis wrote and exec produced Martin Scorsese’s upcoming thriller “Shutter Island,” which stars Leonardo DiCaprio.
If you are a manga fan this should excite you as much as it has excited me. Technically, you can’t fuck Ghost in the Shell up if you stick to the original story line and characters. I cannot wait to see 3D technology at it’s best with Motoko Kusanagi’s fight scenes. Although I’m usually skeptical with remakes of old awesome classics, this one should be impressive.
