The movie, “Ghost in a Shell”, follows the adventures of a covery ops unit of the JNPSC (Japanese Naitonal Public Safety Commission) who specialty is fighting technology type crimes. The movie was originally made in 1989 by Masamune Shirow. It was a huge success and went on to make two additional manga editions, three anime movies and an anime TV series. The movie is also responsible for three video games based on its content!

Avi Arad (responsible for producing the likes of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and other comic related movies), Ari Arad and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment have signed on to produce and brought the project to DreamWorks. Jamie Moss has been assigned to do the adaptation for the new version.

There were other studios with high interest in the project but Spielberg himself took special interest in the project and made it property of DreamWorks.

” ‘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.”

DreamWorks invisions this movie to be a forefront for digital 3D experience action movies. Should be interesting! Knowing Spielberg’s work, he won’t disappoint.

Looks like Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan will be teaming up for another movie. This however, will not be another Rush Hour film.

The two actors apparently had a sit down recently were they both decided that they wanted to do another movie together, but only if it wasn’t another Rush Hour.

“I said yes, and after I shook Tucker’s hand, I said: ‘Look, we need a middleman. I don’t want to shake hands, then I go back to Hong Kong and you stay here, I get busy and you get busy,’ ” he recalled. “You have to have somebody in the middle to follow up, otherwise it will never happen.

“We’ve just agreed to do it,” he added. “Now we’re looking for the writer.”

No other details about the to be filmed flick have been released. I like these two together and I’m sure it will be full of comedy and martial arts.
