‘Ghost in the Shell’ Gets ‘Shutter Island’ Writer
The writer of the upcoming Martin Scorsese film Shutter Island has been hired to write the upcoming Dreamworks film Ghost in the Shell.
DreamWorks has tapped scribe Laeta Kalogridis to adapt the Japanese manga property “Ghost in the Shell.”
DreamWorks is making the futuristic police thriller as a 3D live-action film.
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.
Ghost in the Shell is a great manga movie, I haven’t seen the newer TV series, but it’s a great concept. Seeing this movie come to life in live action will be really great, this is some high tech sci-fi action. I’ll keep you posted as the film goes further into development.
