Ghost in the Shell Live Action Movie

[GOST]

The remake will be directed under Rupert Sanders (Snow White And The Huntsman) for DreamWorks. The lead has been rumored to be either Margot Robbie or Scarlet Johansson. No release date projected yet.

[GOST]

Two other live action anime films rumored to be in the works I'm interested in are Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop.

[GOST]

Michael Bay is rumored to have come on board for Evangelion.

Always liked Ghost in the Shell and Vampire Hunter D. That is about as far as my anime knowledge goes.

I'm a huge GitS fan. I'm really worried about a live action movie being done right.

I like Cowboy Bebop as well. Hopefully, now that IWI is releasing the Jericho they'll use it.

Why does Hollywood insist on ruining my childhood. I didnt watch Cowboy Beebop until a couple years ago. Incredible series.

I'm worried about possibly Scarlet Johansson being cast as Major Motoko Kusanagi. I like Scarlet but don't see her in this role, but who knows maybe she'll be alright.

Have anyone else in mind?

Thank you for that ^^^^

Agreed 100% with Naytwan. My four favorite animes were GitS SAC (but not the movies), Cowboy Bebop, Space Battleship Yamato, and Captain Harlock Space Pirate. I fear Hollyweird will do the same horrible job with these animes as they did with Aeon Flux and that ridiculous Dragonball Z movie. I know Japan made a SB Yamato live action movie, but I haven't seen it.

Honestly, i'd be content if they made a live action robotech movie series....

Akira
Ghost in the shell
Battle Angel Alita
Neo Genesis Evangeline
are all in the table right now lets see wish one comes out first
oh and if you wants to see a movie very close to Ghost in the shell i recommend Avalon it was directed by the same guy who did the first Ghost in the shell movie anime

Awesome! Love me some Major Kusanagi. I like the GITS series as they usually have a complicated plot that makes you think.

Appleseed is another good series, a little more action-oriented though.

Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to this!

Only if the people that rebooted Battlestar Gallactica would do it.



Edit:

Speaking of Cowboy Bebop, amazon has the blu-ray on sale right now, hmm.
