Ghost in the Shell is one of the best known anime movies. The Anime movie series is based off of the 1989 cyberpunk manga (Japanese comic books) and book series. It is set in a dystopian Japanese city, Niihama, in mid-twenty-first century.
The main character is Major Motoko Kusanagi. She is the head of the counter-cyberterrorist organization Public Security Section 9. She is cybernetically enhanced to perform her job better.
Scarlett Johansson will protray Kusanagi in the live adaption of Ghost in the Shell. The above image shows ScarJo in her role as Kusanagi. The image does feel like the anime movie (see below image).
It will take a lot more than a great looking image to convince die hard fans of Ghost in the Shell that this adaption movie will be great. American movies haven’t done a great job of adapting awesome anime into live action movies. Some are upset that Johansson will be Kusanagi instead of a Japanese actor.
I think Johansson is a great actress. I don’t know if the movie will be good. If it isn’t good, I highly doubt if it is because of Johansson.
Ghost in the Shell will be directed by Rupert Sanders. Sanders directed movies like Snow White and the Huntsman.
Ghost in the Shell release date is March 31st, 2017.
