The trailer of "The Ghost In The Shell", one of the most popular manga comics, has been finally released. The movie stars Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, and Rupert Sanders. The trailer suggests a combination of "Blade Runner" and "The Matrix" and shows excellent urban setting and action sequences.
Scarlett Johansson, the main character, also looks like a real bad-ass in the film, according to Cinemablend. The 31-year old actress will portray The Major in the movie, who is a cyborg policewoman with human brain. Apart from that, The Major is also assigned to stop cyber criminals and hackers.
However, when a new enemy raises his head and begin to sabotage the artificial intelligence technology of Hanka Robotics, The Major is forced to question even her own identity. Ever since "The Ghost In The Shell" was announced, it has become the talk of the town, especially after knowing that Scarlett would be taking the major role.
The film is expected to be released on March 31, 2017. A press event in Tokyo will also show photos of the costumes used in the movie, robots, weapons, and more.
Meanwhile, after the full-length trailer of "The Ghost In The Shell", there's been an online discussion happening and is focusing on "whitewashing" allegations, based on the report of Forbes. Just like "Doctor Strange", the film has also been criticized for choosing Caucasian actors instead of Asians to play the characters.
For people who are not familiar with the franchise, the movie is basically a science fiction story that is set in a cyberpunk future, allowing one to upload their brain into cyberspace. Apart from that, they can also replace their flesh with a prosthetic body.
"The Ghost In The Shell" seems to appear as a visual spectacle based on the trailer. The popular Japanese manga has been adapted into multiple video game, television, and film properties. Each has its own take on the original source material. Watch video Ghost in the Shell Official Trailer 1 (2017) - Scarlett Johansson Movie
