Live Action Ghost in the Shell Gets a Writer: Laeta Kalogridis

It seems that screenwriter, Laeta Kalogridis, will be penning the live action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. Those unfamiliar with Kalogridis will be surprised to know she wrote the upcoming Shutter Island. Having not seen any of her previous work, I can't quite say what this means for the film, but she seems to be competent enough. I'll keep you updated when we get more info.
