But when you mix in these themes with a cool story and some kick-ass action, it’s the kind of thought provoking stuff that makes me excited to see it. Of course you can’t make a big budget Hollywood movie tackling these philosophical issues alone.
The world of Ghost in the Shell tries to deal with real issues in a technologically advanced world.
When you can copy your consciousness to another body, when do you stop being human? Is it your body or mind or both that makes you who you are? In addition, in the world of Ghost in the Shell, hackers can plant memories in your head and the recipient can’t tell what’s real or fake. While many might have been nervous about Johansson as the lead in Ghost in the Shell, from seeing the trailer, the footage last night, and being on set earlier this year and learning a lot about the movie, I’m extremely confident she’s going to nail this role and the finished film will be really cool.įor those not familiar with the themes in Ghost in the Shell, it explores what it means to be human. You can actually see a bit of that scene in the trailer. One scene involved Johansson interrogating someone in lockup while the other featured Kitano defending himself from armed attackers trying to kill him while sitting in his car.
In addition to premiering the trailer (which you can watch here), Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, and director Rupert Sanders talked about making the film, what fans can expect, and they also showed two additional scenes from the movie that showed off the fantastic visuals and intense action. Last night in Tokyo, Paramount held a big media event where they showed off the costumes and props from Ghost in the Shell and then world premiered the first trailer for some lucky fans and reporters from around the world.
