Dreamworks has recruited Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders to helm the live-action movie adaptation of the much beloved Ghost In The Shell manga/anime. The film has been a personal passion for legendary director Steven Spielberg, who convinced Dreamworks to acquire the movie rights in 2008.
If the name Rupert Sanders sound familiar, it’s because he made gossip headlines in 2012 for his affair with Snow White and the Huntsman star Kristen Stewart.
That being said, the actual film was widely praised for its impressive visuals, an important factor for Ghost In The Shell, which takes place in a futuristic Japan. The original Ghost In The Shellanimated film was released in 1995.
