Ghost in the Shell: What the Movie Drew from the Anime
When Ghost in the Shell comes to the big screen, it won't be a direct adaptation of any of the manga, anime or film storylines fans have previously seen. Instead, it will draw inspiration from all of the existing source material to create what executive producer Michael Costigan calls "a portal into this universe."
"I feel like such a geek making this movie because we are really bringing it to life so faithfully," Costigan said during a visit to Ghost in the Shell's New Zealand set. "We were talking about the absolute genius of the anime and the manga. It was so ahead of its time so making

Peyton Reed Disappointed Giant-Man Debuted in Civil War
Ant-Man director Peyton Reed recently shared his thoughts on sharing Scott Lang with other MCU films, admitting he wasn't all too enthused about Giant-Man making his grand debut in Captain America: Civil War.
"Again, that is one of the sort of things where it's a mixed bag" Reed told Moviefone when asked what it's like to share characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "When I first found out... that Civil War was going to get the Giant-Man premiere, I was like 'No!' But, now, I've since recovered," he said.
The director went on to tease what lies ahead for Scott Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp, saying they have "a lot more in store" for Marvel's tiniest hero.
