What's the latest news on GITS live movie?
Posted December 6th, 2008 by TexVindictive
Does anybody have any news on the production for the Ghost in the Shell movie Dreamworks is working on? Does anybody have any news on the casting or the director? I thought this movie was planned for next summer but I haven't seen any info on it lately.

Ghost in the Shell
It was a three-way fight between behemoths Universal, DreamWorks, and Sony to obtain the rights to this legendary anime. In the end, it was Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks that emerged the winner.
The plan is to make Ghost in the Shell into a “3D live action movie”. It would be interesting to see how the cyborgs of this cyberpunk anime and manga will fare in the master’s hands. Spielberg, after all, has been very reliable when it comes to churning out blockbusters.
The story, which is based on Masamune Shirow’s manga, first published in 1989, spawned two anime films, an anime series, and several video games. The protagonist is cyborg Motoko Kusanagi, a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission, which fights technology-related crime.
“Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories,” Spielberg said in an interview with Variety in April. “It’s a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks.” Scheduled release: 2011.

Update: Variety reported last April that Spielberg's enthusiasm for a remake of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell cyber-police manga was a pivotal reason why the manga's publisher (Kodansha) chose to work with Spielberg's DreamWorks company on this other remake project. The Hollywood Reporter newspaper noted last week that the Ghost in the Shell remake project remains at DreamWorks despite DreamWorks' corporate separation from its longtime distributor, Paramount Pictures. Paramount would still have the option to co-finance and co-distribute the Ghost in the Shell remake if it goes forward.
Looks like GITS is in limbo.
