Variety is reporting that Scarlett Johansson is officially set to star in DreamWorks’ adaptation of the popular anime pic Ghost In the Shell.
Coming off the lackluster Lucy, it will be nice to see Johansson actually fight in an actioneer.
“The story follows the exploits of a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission that specializes in fighting technology-related crime.”
Rupert Sanders is on board to direct. Avi Arad and Steven Paul are producing the film from a script by Bill Wheeler. Mark Sourian is exec producing.
