No, the director of Ghost In The Shell has not taken the director's chair of the upcoming Imagi Animation animated feature version of classic anime Tetsujin 28, though that would be very cool. However, after mounting a live stage play based on Mitsuteru Yokoyama's source manga in 2008, the director announced at a recent press conference for his Assault Girls that his next feature would be a live action version of Tetsujin. This will make the second live action version of Tetsujin 28 in recent years with Shin Togashi helming a very underwhelming version in 2005. Hopefully Oshii does better. But before he gets to this, whatever became of his collaboration with Kenta Fukasaku on Elle Is Burning?
