Spielberg Snags Rights To Japanese Movie
Spielberg’s DreamWorks has gotten the rights to a movie from Japan and plans to make it into a thiller in 3D!
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 The movie was originally made in 1989 by Masamune Shirow.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.
