>>132908105The Hollywood GITS is most likely a shitty generic near-future sci-fi script that got picked up and they're cramming the Ghost in the Shell name on it and tweaking a handful of things to fit with the existing universe.
It's VERY unlikely it's an original script written FOR the Ghost in the Shell universe.
They just want to use the name.
Which is a fucking shame. I've been rewatching GITS:SAC and one thing I've really liked about it is how all the crimes they're solving aren't just the typical old-school crimes with new technology like most sci-fi procedurals, but all the crime is a result of or misuse of the newly emergent technology.
Of course, those sorts of stories take EFFORT to write and we all know Hollywood hates that.
