It's Hollywood at the helm. Don't get your hopes up, and just wait for it to go straight to bargin bin.
Watchmen turned out OK.
Maybe this will too?

Actually Watchmen turned out great. But that's because it was done by NON-hollywood group:
Studio:
Legendary Pictures
DC Comics
although i'll give you, big Hollywood did distribute it.

Source: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... shell-filmThe American film studio Dreamworks has hired Shutter Island writer and executive producer Laeta Kalogridis to adapt Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell cyber-police manga. Dreamworks had licensed the rights from Kodansha to make a proposed 3D live-action film last year. Kalogridis was once also hired by James Cameron to script his planned adaptation of Yukito Kishiro's Battle Angel Alita (GUNNM) manga.
Jamie Moss (Street Kings, Last Man Home) had been previously assigned to script the project. Avi Arad (formerly of Marvel Studios as well as of the Spider-Man and X-Men movie franchises), Arad's son Ari, and Seaside Entertainment's Steven Paul brought the project to Dreamworks and will produce.
Looks like they already changed the writer. Still don`t know if it`s a good news or a bad one...

At least it's proof that something is still in the works! The new writer might be a good thing, as Shutter Island looks to be extremely psychological.

Will it work or won't it - I do wonder. I have no idea who all these people or movies are so it means not a lot to me. Still, interesting that there's still rumours about it floating about.

One would love to know the details of the license from Kodansha ... if there's a time limit, it seems possible Dreamworks will run out of time, given they're only at the adaptation stage.
One wonders also what sort of nothing has being going on for a year and a half. Did the old writer get half of it done? None? Almost all?

It's probably been drafted a couple of times then rejected by Dreamworks and they finally decided to hire someone else to give it a go. It's a hard thing to adapt to live action at the end of the day. Knowing this I doubt they'd have tied themselves to something with a too strict time limit or at least without ample room for extension to it.

One of the things about film, is that it often takes years to even get a green lighted project off the ground. Now take this a little furhter, rights have to be optioned and bought. A working screenplay obtained, actors and directors found who believe in the project.
It takes time.
Better for them to take their time, and turn out a quality project, then rush and ruin the whole GITS idealogy.

Stuck, that's realy an encouraging link. I find whenever a studio starts passing around scripts, it means there is a lot of intent to get it released. I have been really down about GitS being adapted, but I'd love anything new at this point.... Has anyone seen The Bioninc Woman show? Is there nods to Shirow in it?

This actually makes me a happy panda! Quite good news.
Either way, I'm just excited that we'll be getting some material again! FINALLY!
Speaking of... you do-dos go onto the movie section!!! >: ( WHY IS THERE NO TALK OF GITS VER 2.0!!!!

I just read that the GitS screenwriter is also tackling James Cameron's ver. of Battle Angel as well...I don't know if it's true....
