Do you remember a while ago when DreamWorks Pictures obtained the rights to adapt Masamune Shirow's cyberpunk <em>Ghost in the Shell</em> manga? Well, things are starting to kick up again. Today, Deadline is reporting that DreamWorks have signed up Rupert Sanders (<em>Snow White & The Huntsman</em>) to direct the movie, which has received a new script from William Wheeler (<em>Hoax</em>, <em>The Reluctant Fundamentalist</em>).
Previously, the exploits of Motoko Kusanagi and the rest of Public Security Section 9 were brought to the big screen in two theatrical features directed by Mamoru Oshii (which was famously the inspiration for the "digital rain" in <em>The Matrix</em>), as well as the <em>Standalone Complex</em> TV anime which covered two seasons and an OVA and the newer <em>Ghost in the Shell: Arise</em> 4-part OVA series.
Manga Entertainment UK have released every animated iteration of <em>Ghost in the Shell</em> other than the more recent <em>Arise</em> in the United Kingdom.
