Can you hear your ghost whispering?
Distributor Funimation Entertainment has released a trailer for the film “Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie” along with the US airing dates. Unfortunately, South African froods will have to wait for the DVD release to grab it, but the trailer gave me a bit of a geekgasm so I couldn’t not post it. We can however look forward to the live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell by Dreamworks, starring Scarlett Johansson, releasing April 2017!
The cyberpunk anime franchise’s first feature film in more than a decade, “The New Movie” continues the reimagining of Masamune Shirow’s classic manga begun in “Ghost in the Shell: Arise”:
Set in a futuristic Japan after the end of a brutal world war, science has advanced by leaps and bounds giving humanity the choice to prolong life and reduce suffering with the use of sophisticated cybernetics. With all of humanity linked into one system of minds and personalities known as ghosts, the biggest threat to civilization is the cyber terrorists capable of hijacking people’s bodies and memories.
When a ghost-infecting virus known as Fire-Starter begins spreading through the system resulting in the assassination of the Japanese Prime Minister, Major Motoko Kusanagi and her elite team of special operatives are called in to track down its source. As they delve deeper and deeper into their investigation, they uncover traces of government corruption and a shadowy broker that bears an all-too-familiar face.
The movie releases in select North American theatres November 10, 11 and 16.
