|
 |
The superb Manga and Anime Novel "Ghost In The Shell" will be adapt to a live action movie by Steven Spielberg.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219827/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_shell#Films
| Quote: | Ghost in the Shell has been adapted into numerous anime adaptations, all of which were produced by Production I.G.
The series was first adapted into a theatrical anime film adaptation in 1995, entitled Ghost in the Shell, directed by Mamoru Oshii. The film was followed by another theatrical movie sequel, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, produced in 2004, which was also directed by Oshii and places the character of Batou in the lead role. A third film, Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society, was created after the TV series and directed by Kenji Kamiyama. This film, however, is based on the TV storyline and does not connect with either of Oshii's works.
As of 2008, DreamWorks acquired the rights to produce a live-action film adaptation of the original manga with Steven Spielberg tipping the scales in DreamWorks favor. So far, Avi Arad and Steven Paul are confirmed producers and Jamie Moss will be adapting the manga into a screenplay. |

LOL, I had that exact same thought, as much as I love "Ghost in the Shell" knowing that Steven Spielberg will be directing it, I can't stop remembering "War of the Worlds".
in 2011 "Ghost in the Shell" will go from Masterpiece to Americanized piece of shit.

I'm not smoking anything.
And yes I'm comparing them, and yes there is a huge humor exaggeration involved.
I think Spielberg is one of the most overrated directors of all time. He is such a goody two shoes "oh look at my morals lol", and in my opinion his movies are some of the cheesiest pieces of crap out there.
With that said though, some of his movies DO have entertainment value, they just lack depth, it's like all of his movies were made with a child's naivety and lack of perspective. For instance, one of his most praised movies Schindler's List, I think is a bunch of "oh us poor jews"-hokum. While the movie has good pacing, a decent story, but I dislike it for it's rhetoric.
Having Spielberg direct a story such as Ghost in the shell in my opinion is like having Uwe Boll direct it, their similarities are their complete lack of depth in how they do their character portraits, and how they understand the depth of a story. Spielberg tends to use stereotypes and shallow surfaces, and in a philosophical movie such as the current, he would make another A.I. out of it.
If indeed he isn't directing or producing it, I am very happy. He would be my last choice of all today's director's. My first choice would be Darren Arronofsky.

Darren makes really smart movies that are full of debt. His talent would be a big waste for something as simple as a live action movie.
As for Steven Spielberg, yes he does make some childrens movies, but he also has some great ones on his list: Catch Me If You Can, Minority Report, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List (yes, really, it is), Empire of the Sun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc... |

arronofsky, screw that.. his films may have some depth but they are slow and boring as hell UNLESS your looking for extremely slow paced 'talky' and metaphorical films, then sure, but gits is a drama thriller that there is no way he would ever be suited too... he couldnt direct a thriller to save himself
i think they should just let oshii direct it... its the ONLY way your going to get a good end result. or ill say again, james cameron if they HAVE to use an american director.

Didn't see Requiem for a dream then I take it? It had (at least parts of it) the pacing of an action movie, except it had depth.
Like I said, Spielberg makes entertaining movies, and nearly all of those you listed have entertaining parts. But his movies tend to be less than the sum of it's parts, he has good visual effects, awesome sound and image quality, but most of his stuff are very much overrated and lack that completeness of the really talented movie makers.
Schindler's list is a very cliché perspective that's been overdone. This entire idea that a group of people are worth the worlds pity, no I'm sorry... pity are forced upon the world, "OMG have some conscience, cry for these poor people". The movie is well made, but the political and ethnical bias makes me nauseous.
Minority port is a very bland Sci-Fi flick with one of the world's most overrated main actors (they are a good team in that way).
Saving Private Ryan has the best opening scene of any war movie I've ever seen. But that's it, the rest of the movie doesn't go anywhere, and the plot is a simplistic pile of dung full of americanized propaganda (a la Band of Brothers (which is a lot better tho)).
Empire of the sun is alright. Not really memorable, and not really a standout movie that you'll remember. Quite alright, and it's cool to see Bale in his starting as an actor.
Close Encounters is a memorable movie, and a classic. I agree with you here. I am biased about it because I watched it as a kid so I can't really view it objectively.
As for the Indiana Jones movies, they're awesome entertaining adventure movies. But not much more than that.
In a way he (Spielberg) has the same flaw as Peter Jackson, they both have a nack for "something", and they attract some talented actors. But somehow both of them make flawed movies that (in Jackson's case) lack that final "oomph". Lord of the rings was entertaining, a very good example (I'd compare it to Spielberg's Indiana Jones-series, except it actually had quality writing behind it) - what made Lord of the Rings a letdown in many ways was that Jackson refused to go into the really knitty gritty of it, and had to let Philippa Boyens come and make things a "family movie" with romance and clean clothing. It's like Spielberg and Jackson take their directing very seriously, but then coats everything with cheese to appeal to the masses.

oh come on... yeah minority report wasnt bad, but he hasnt done anything really great since jurassic park ffs
doesnt look like hes directing this (yet) but i wish he wasnt involved in this... he produced transformers, and that was rubbish... i can just see this as being another loud stupid film with loads of pointless sex scenes and braindead action sequences... and while in some cases i wouldnt mind those braindead action sequences, i wish theyd keep em the hell away from gits. i mean the akira americanisation was fucking bad enough, im just dreading what theyre going to be ripping off next... ninja scroll? vampire hunter d? ugh.

dominae, I couldn't agree more. IMO you are absolutely right about Spielberg.
His movies are fun, but nothing more. He never gets down to the "dirty" and unpleasant stuff, he always treats them like family movies.
Munich was quite a harsh movie from him, but still it was really lacking the depth...

And it's still fucking awesome.
Private Ryan is also awesome
Transformers (not directed by) was awesome
Duel awesome
Scindlers list awesome
Indie Awesome
ET awesome
Twighlight zone the movie awesome
Empire of the sun awesome
Amistad awesome
AI - A bit shit
Close encounters - didn't get it and i still don't to this day
Minority report - awesome
Jurrasic Park - Awesome
Munich - pretty great, needed tighter editing to make it shorter
That there, is a serious body of work and they're the only ones I can think of right now. That stands up to anyones work.
Haters - leave it out, you are obviously ' having a laugh'
