Spielberg bringing Ghost in the Shell to live action 3-D

Could be very good if done right. They need to keep the adult tone and not kiddie it up.

Wasn't Spielberg working on a live-action Battle Angel Alita adaptation? I haven't heard anything new about that since all the talk about Indiana Jones and now this Ghost in the Shell story. Whatever happened to that?

I have my doubts. This will cost a lot of money to make, so they will have to draw in the crowds. The temptation to turn it into a summer blockbuster will be enormous.

Avalon (2001), Oshii's first film after the first Ghost in the Shell, was in many ways a live action adaptation of the anime. The main actress certainly looked like the major in the combat scenes.

So yes, I think an adaptation might work, but I doubt whether this will be any good.

What, is the writer's strike still going on ?
