THEY SAY

A live-action 3-D remake of the 1995 anime movie Ghost in the Shell. The film will be made by DreamWorks and it is apparently Steven Spielberg's own involvement that made this project go through.

"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."

No production date or other details are known at this stage.

Ghost in the Shell is set in the not-too-distant future, when an unnamed government uses lifelike cyborgs or "enhanced" humans for undercover work. One of the key cyborgs is The Major, Motoko Kusanagi, who resembles a cross between The Terminator and a Playboy centerfold. She finds herself caught up in a tangled web of espionage and counterespionage as she searches for the mysterious superhacker known as "The Puppet Master."

WE SAY

Yet another anime sci-fi classic to remade into a live-action movie by Hollywood. The other one is of course Akira. The idea of remakes, especially of movies that are pretty good to begin with, fills us with dread — and to be honest the same goes for this project . . .
