Auf einer Promoveranstaltung zu Shutter Island hatten Kollegen von Screen Rant und MoviesOnline.ca die Gelegenheit, Skriptschreiberin Laeta Kalogridis zum aktuellen Stand der Arbeiten zum Realfilm von Ghost in the Shell zu befragen:
Q: Is that a remake of the 1995 film or is that an adaptation of the earlier manga?
LK: “Ghost in the Shell” was originally the manga. The anime came from the original graphic novel and then — and that anime, as you know, is a relatively famous, groundbreaking piece of material — also generated two seasons of an animated television show as well. And this is an adaptation of the original manga, the original comic book that sort of began everything.

Kalogridis told me that the script for Ghost In The Shell will be drawn from Masamune’s manga comic and that it has “a lot of action… lots of action.” However, she then added, “there’s still going to be a lot of atmosphere – [The movie] is about vast possibilities – all of this technology, the Internet – it’s about the limitless possibilities of this technology.”

Von der üblichen Skepsis gegenüber Hollywoodumsetzungen mal abgesehen freut es mich, daß Masamune Shirows Manga als Vorlage dienen soll, da dieser einige geniale Plots zu bieten hatte die in Mamoru Oshiis Verfilmung unberüht blieben und auch nur teilweise in den beiden Stand Alone Complex Staffeln angekratzt wurden.
