Ghost in the Shell Goes Live-Action

Voldy · 16-04-2008, 07:59 PM

We reported over a year ago that Production I.G. -- the animation studio behind the most recent Ghost in the Shell film and TV series -- obtained the movie rights for the manga and would begin negotiating with Hollywood studios.

Now it seems those negotiations have bourn fruit -- Dreamworks have picked up the rights and are set to make the project a live-action 3-D film -- with a bit of help from Stephen Spielberg.

According to Variety, Universal and Sony were also chasing the rights, but the Jaws helmer -- and co-founder of Dreamworks -- personally encouraged the studio to force through the deal.

The project has the potential to be visually spectacular.

He explained "Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories. It's a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks." At present there has been no word on any other involvement Spielberg will have with the film.

Avi Arad -- no stranger to comic adaptations having worked on the Spider-Man, X-Men and Fantastic Four films, as well as the forthcoming Iron Man and Incredible Hulk -- is on production duty.

Jamie Moss will pen the adaptation,.............
