Re: New live-action GitS film on the cards?
I'd rather not see it go into production, to be honest - there is nothing wrong with the GITS universe as it stands, and I do not believe a live-action GITS film caters for anything but a potential blockbuster crowd....at the same time potentially championing a box office flop.
The great thing about Shirows original manga, and to a certain extent what the animes provided, was a fantasy setting and characters that probably just won't work in live action - and I'd pity whoever was chosen to play the Major as it's possibly a character no one can act out. Each incarnation of the Major, form the manga, to the movies, to the series are different - and I see the live action incarnation being by far the worst, despite her character getting more sterile as SAC 1 and 2 went along. The best version was in the manga, unsurprisingly enough.
Without a proper Major, there is no GITS.
