Ghost in the Shell Trailer
So, the official first trailer for the new live-action Ghost in the Shell movie recently came out, and I have to say, it does look pretty good. Apart from the “whitewashing” controversy, which is no small matter, the trailer itself does show a film that seems to stay true to the source material. That’s a good thing! I’m still peeved that they chose Scarlett Johansson to play the Major, but I’ll reserve my final judgement until I see it in the theater. You can also check out a great analysis of the trailer over on ScreenRant.com.
This was a great film, I look forward to watching it again. I am disappointed only with the critics and reception. The film is extremely well done, fun, energetic, does the original justice and the story brings about the importance of our personal identity, technology and human rights. How can you have rights if a corporation manufactured you? The main character finds out and the observer gets to follow as the mystery unfolds.
