"Rupert Sanders has signed on to direct the Ghost in the Shell live action movie adaptation. The Snow White and the Huntsman director has joined the DreamWorks adaptation of Masamune Shirow&amp;#039;s classic sci-fi manga, reports Deadline.

It centres around a cyborg police officer living in the near future and explores the concept of consciousness and humanity. William Wheeler (The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Entering Hades) is writing the script, with Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul producing.
