Dreamworks Approach Scarlett Johansson For Ghost In The Shell
Earlier this year, it was reported that Dreamworks were eyeing The Wolf of Wall Street‘s Margot Robbie for the possible lead role in their upcoming live-action adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell manga. However, according to Deadline, those talks didn’t end as positively as DreamWorks had hoped. So instead, apparently DreamWorks have shifted their attention to one of the biggest women in cinema at the moment.
Ever since she appeared in Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2 as the super spy Natasha “Black Widow” Romanoff, Scarlett Johansson has become a househould name and apparently, DreamWorks are looking for her to appear as the movie’s lead character, who is most likely their version of Major Motoko Kusanagi, as they have offered her the role for $10 Million.
What do you think of the idea of Scarlett Johansson as The Major?
DreamWork’s Ghost in the Shell is currently set to be directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman), with a script written by William Wheeler (The Hoax, The Reluctant Fundamentalist).
