There's been talk about live-action Ghost in the Shell movie for a long time now. It seemed to be stuck in limbo forever but it looks like it might be made as DreamWorks is developing it and they will make it 3-D. I suppose it depends on how well avatar will do then. And the most important question remains - can it be even nearly as good as the original?
And we may finally see some godlike AI on film as one of Iain M. Banks' Culture short stories have been announced as one of the new projects
....writing the script, which if it sticks to source will be about a refugee from Banks' complex utopia The Culture, living undercover on a world that the anarchist socialist intergalactic colonial empire (yes, it's contradictory, we know) has just noticed, and being blackmailed into a violent act using a Culture-specific weapon.
It probably never actually be done or be a complete mess but it be interesting to finally get some really advanced future and non evil AIs on screen. The post-human, singularity fiction has been around for a while now. It's high time for it to finally appear on screen.
