After releasing the film in Japan this past June, distributor Funimation has confirmed that Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie will open in limited release in US theatres on November 10, 11, and 16. This announcement was accompanied by the first English language trailer.
And yes, in case you’re wondering, that really is the title of the film. If naming a film literally is now a thing, then one wonders why they didn’t just call that sci-fi epic coming out in December Star Wars: The Film That Will Take Everyone’s Goddamn Money.
If you want to catch The New Movie on the big screen, you can pre-order your tickets here. You’ll need to be quick as they’ll be in high demand. So hurry up and become a part of this incredible opportunity to see an anime classic on the big screen.
The original Ghost in the Shell manga by Masamune Shirow is also being adapted into a live-action film helmed by Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, with Scarlett Johansson in the lead role. Let’s just hope they don’t call it Ghost in the Shell: The Live-Action Movie.
Synopsis:
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.
When your target can be anywhere and look like anyone, the only choice you have is to trust your ghost and hope you aren’t infected too.
