Apparently, the deciding factor which led to Dreamworks gaining the rights was Steven Spielberg personal interest and enthusiasm in this project and he made sure it ended up with him. It is said that GITS is one of his favorite story.

The adaptation will be written by Jamie Moss, screenwritter for Street Kings. Ex-Marvel CEO Avi Arad and Steven Paul will be co-producing this project.

Since I’m a big fan of Mamoru Oshii works, I would like to see how Dreamwork can match up to the high benchmark that is already in place by the 2 anime movies.

My guess is that Dreamwork will be using this film to rival Warner Brothers adaptation of Akira. And I’m hoping at least one of them don’t turn out to be total Hollywood crap.
