Ghost in the Shell, a classic anime cyberpunk flick from the 1990s, has mesmerized fans for years with its brutal-but-philosophical story of what happens to a woman's identity when she merges with technology on physical and psychological levels.
The movie version of Ghost in the Shell is set in the year 2029. The world has become intensively information oriented and humans are well-connected to the network.
Crime has developed into a sophisticated stage by hacking into the interactive network. To prevent this, Section 9 is formed. These are cyborgs with incredible strengths and abilities that can access any network on Earth.
That is pretty much how the animated series runs. The animated movie version stayed much the same course. However Steven Spielberg wants to do a live action 3d version and that has me worried, as it does others that have enjoyed the Ghost in the Shell universe.
The film blog Quiet Earth has a pretty good take on it here
And over on IO9 they are not even hedging their bets by asking the question Will Steven Spielberg Eviscerate "Ghost in the Shell"?
