For a while now, Dreamworks Pictures’ live action adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s revolutionary cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell has been a hot point for discussion and now, the first real word on who could be starring in the picture has surfaced.
According to The Wrap, Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street and Neighbours) has entered talks to play the franchise’s lead character, Major Motoko Kusanagi (who will most likely be renamed for the Hollywood adaptation).
