It seems that DreamWorks has snagged the rights to the Ghost in the Shell movie… one of the best animes out there.
They described the movie as a 3D (yay!) live-action (booo!) hybrid and said that GITS provided the perfect story to be delivered on that platform.
Having just watched Appleseed: Ex Machina, and thinking it was fantastic, I was really hoping that Ghost would have gotten that 3D/Cell-Shaded look:
instead of some big-name Hollywood actor trying to pull off crazy stunts but ending up looking like a chump in the process… <cough>Æon Flux</cough>

Who will be playing as Motoko Kusanagi? I can’t think of anyone who can pull it off/

That’s the main girl right? hmmm… you’d need someone super athletic that could handle a gun. I’ve seen some female actresses that can do some pretty sweet fighting scenes but looked awkward holding guns.
The fittest starlette in hollywood I can think of right now is Jessica Biel, but maybe you need an asian star to play Kusanagi? Maybe that girl from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the young one? Ziyi Zhang:

she was also cool in House of Flying Daggers.

there is allways the option of not making her asian. usualy when a comic goes to the big screan the story/settings get messed with alot. i hope not. im scared that its going to suck lol but lets all hope not

fullmetal,
That is true, who do you think would play a good female lead like that though?
I just can’t think of anyone off the top of my head…
