Scarlett Johansson starred in the film version of "Ghost in the Shell"

Recently demanded actress Scarlett Johansson has signed a contract for filming the famous anime film "Ghost in the Shell" in the film adaptation. Reports about it The Verge. The film will be shot by DreamWorks, which is now led by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg admitted that he was a fan of the work and had long wanted to make a film based on his motives. As expected, the director of the film will be directed by British director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman). William Wheeler will write the script. The release date of the film is not yet specified.

Anime 1995 is a screen version of the manga of the same name, published in 1991. Her story takes us into a world close to cyberpunk. By 2029, thanks to the ubiquitous computer networks and cyber technologies, almost all people implanted themselves with a variety of neural implants. But cyber-technologies brought a new danger to humans: the so-called “brain-breaking” and a number of other crimes directly connected with them became possible.

The long-wanted hacker, who was called the Puppeteer, begins to intervene in politics, and then the "9th Division" of the Public Security Bureau, a police operative equipped with the latest technology, receives an order to investigate this matter and stop the Puppeteer. In pursuit of him, the question arises: what makes a man a man and who is a Puppeteer in this world, where the border between man and machine is almost imperceptible?

Hollywood rarely managed action films with women in the lead roles, but Johansson worked well in such blockbusters as Lucy, Stay in My Skin, Avengers. Let's hope that DreamWorks will not spoil the story and adequately convey the unique visuals of the original anime using filmmakers.
