I'm certain this shall unleash hordes of fanboys ready to say how terrible this movie will be.

I don't see how making it live-action can improve it...

Senor Spielbergo?

Wait....is it live action or a "3D movie" like Polar Express and Beowulf?

Yikes.

Hey if they can do "Matrix" they can do GITS.

Plus....its one step closer to live action Eva. Keep the faith.
Who is "Codename V"?....

Judging from his recent form, I'm inclined to agree. A live action version of GitS is bound to be like what he did Minority Report, only worse.

Great Anime does not translate into great Live-Action. No way. >_<

There are so many anime being made into live-action films by Hollywood (this one included) that frankly I lost count/don't care anymore.

GiTS2 was a weird flick, I wasn't into it that much when I watched it, so whatever.

But yeah, if it'll probably suck. >_<

this recent live action hype is really irksome any way you look at it.

Apparently the pigopolists have realized that game movies suck and are looking for other ways to make a pump-and-dump profit.

I think this might have a chance at being good. Director has at least a history of making good movies, the setting works in a live action type setting. I think it has a shot.

Ugh. This has the potential to be good, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

If by some bizarre twist of fate Oshii does end up doing so, he better give Aramaki a harem and magic hair.

I have total faith in Spielburg making this work.

Remember to quote me on that when you're all laughing at how much of a failure this was.

I wouldn't say he'd make it "like all his other stuff"(Schindler's List, for instance), but I'd say, "he'd make it like his more recent stuff". That might be more accurate.

i dont think this will be particularly exciting. it will most likely end up like some othe movie adaption of a once great show etc.

i know i might sound stupid but look at the marvel films. They were kind of the same by taking a cartoon and comics (not anime/manga though) and making it into awful films.

its just a huge cash cow
