Dreamworks have signed “Shutter Island” writer Laeta Kalogridis to adapt their big screen adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell. Dreamworks bought the rights to the popular Manga property late last year and intend for the film to be made as a 3D, live action spectacle.
Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul have been attached to produce the picture and are originally responsible for bringing it to Dreamworks in the first place, according to Variety:

DreamWorks has had its eye on the popular Japanese cyberpunk property Ghost in the Shell for some time now. Created by Masamune Shirow and first published as a manga (Japanese for "comic book") in 1989, Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic thriller that details the exploits of sexy cyborg Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9, the elite covert crime unit she leads. The original spawned two additional manga editions, three animated movie adaptations, three video games, and a long-running TV series.
DreamWorks' connection to the film began in 2004 when it released the second film, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. DreamWorks acquired the rights to adapt the property for an American audience in April 2008 and announced plans to produce a 3-D live-action movie. DreamWorks founder Steven Spielberg has admitted his love of the property and was instrumental in acquiring the rights.
Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories. It's a genre that has arrived,

The Sky Crawlers is out on R1 DVD and BluRay

After Sony Pictures Classics (embarrassingly) modest theatrical release of Mamoru Oshii‘s The Sky Crawlers in late 2008 which only allowed for people on big Coastal cities to have a look at the film as it should be seen - A massive screen with state of the art sound - it finally gets a R1 DVD and Blu-Ray (which is apparently coded for all regions). This is not the extravagant package of the super expensive, but tragically subtitle-less Japanese Box, the image even is vaguely reminiscent of the Top Gun One Sheet (of which Oshii’s film is clearly the anti-thesis!), yet this is a far cry better than the Ghost In The Shell: Innocence release debacle (here and here) back in the day. Quibbles aside, what is most important is the quality of the actual film on the shiny disc; and the good news is that it is sumptuously reproduced in this release.
