Home3D Live-Action Ghost in the Shell gets screenwriter
ComingSoon.net reports that Dreamworks Pictures has hired Laeta Kalogridis as the screenwriter for the 3D live-action adaptation of Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell that has been floating around the net for quite some time now. Until now, (im at least in April 2008), Jamie Moss (Street Kings) was supposed to write the script for Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul’s Seaside Entertainment.
Well, color me unimpressed. For the live-action adaptation of Akira, Warner got Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (who wrote the screenplay for Children of Men) so there is a bit of hope for that, but looking at Kalogridis’ career so far (Alexander, Night Watch, Pathfinder) I just can’t see how she’s supposed to properly transfer the Ghost in the Shell universe into the reel (eh) world.

das wichtigste ist der regisseur, meiner meinung nach

Imho verlieren die Urexemplare (GitS, Akira) gänzlich ihre Glaubhaftigkeit wenn man wirklich alles Detialgetreu in einem “echten” Film nachbaut.

Sorry, I understand a bit of german but I don’t speak it. I don’t agree with you however. A director is important, but he/she won’t suddenly decide to make big changes to the script. And as all fans of GitS know, the stories are always very complex, that’s part of its magic. In the case of GitS it’s therefore extremely important that the screenplay writer has a good sense of writing complex storylines. The director might be equally important, but definitely not more important, sorry.
I’m really disappointed by their choice though, why don’t they try to seek out the best of the best for this sort of project? Why does hollywood always settle for less when it comes to these kinds of films?

Achso ich denke man sollte sich schon die Mühe machen japanische Schauspieler zu casten, denn die Handlung Des Mangas, Der Filme und von S.A.C. findet zufällig in JAPAN statt ihr wist schon nicht in den USA oder Europa sondern auf den Japanischen Inseln die NICHT USA oder Europa sind.

Hollywood funktioniert nun mal so. Die Horror-Klassiker von Leuten wie Wes Craven, John Carpenter oder George A. Romero wurden ja auch in den Remakes von ihren politischen und sozialkritischen Untertönen “befreit” und als reine “Gross-Out”-Spektakel vermarktet.
Solange nicht Leute mit absolutem Herzblut für das Original, bzw. die Vorlage, UND sinnvollen eigenen Ideen an die Sache rangehen, sind Remakes oder Realverfilmungen entweder grottenschlecht (Dragonball Evolution) oder einfach überflüssig (The Grudge)…
