Live Action Ghost in the Shell
Penguin April 15th, 2008
io9 reports that Steven Spielberg will direct Ghost in the Shell based on a script by Jamie Moss. io9 seems to think that Spielberg will do a bad job. But we’ve seen that he’s capable of gritty. Just look at Minority Report. And if nothing else, Spielberg is a great director and a great story teller. I have full confidence in him.
Thanks to Ray for the link.
Update: Steven Spielberg is NOT attached to direct. The director was only instrumental in helping Dreamworks acquire the rights to produce the 3D live action movie.
” ‘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.”

Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment are attached to produce and brought the project to the studio.
