"Animation company Production I.G. has acquired rights from publisher Kodansha to sell the anime classic "Ghost in the Shell" for a live-action remake. Kodansha published the "Ghost in the Shell" manga by Masamune Shirow in 1989. Production I.G. then made it into a cult hit animated feature in 1995..." (full details).

"Sir Sean Connery has confirmed he is considering returning to the silver screen to reprise one of his most popular roles in Indiana Jones 4.

The actor told UK Teletext he will read the script for the fourth movie and, if he likes what he sees, will appear once more as Indiana's father, Dr Henry Jones.

Connery said: "At the moment there's nothing decided. I haven't got the script. Everything depends on the script."

"We are writing him in whether he wants to do it or not," Lucas said on an American TV show recently." (Dark Horizons)

Both movies sound oh la la. Can't wait for them. I do hope Connery will do Indiana Jones IV, because it looks like the last movie of that series. Hope it does well and is produced well.

I am a big fan of the Ghost in the Shell series. I have every movie, tv series, and manga. It would be interesting to see the live action movie, since most of the subject matter deals with a futureistic cyperpunk time, where cybernization is part of life. I would see it just to see how it turns out.
