Spielberg To Make Live-Action Ghost In The Shell
Variety reported yesterday that Dreamworks has acquired the rights to Masamune Shirow’s classic manga "Ghost In The Shell", with plans to make a live-action 3D feature film. Steven Spielberg, said to be a long-time fan of the story, was apparently instrumental in ensuring Dreamworks won out. Comic fans will notice another name in the producer’s credits: Avi Arad, formerly of Marvel Studios, who produced the Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four amongst others during his time with the House Of Ideas.
