Following the short Super Bowl teaser for the upcoming anime adaptation Ghost in the Shell, a full trailer has arrived. It provides more plot details than previous trailers, and gives us a first look at the villainous Kuze. Check it out below: <\/p>\n
Ghost in the Shell stars Scarlett Johansson as the cyborg cop Major, who leads a futuristic anti-terrorist taskforce known as Section 9. It also features Game of Thrones' Pilou Asbk as the Major's partner Batou, plus Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, and Michael Pitt. <\/p>\n
The movie has been the subject of some controversy due to the casting of Johansson as the lead character, leading to accusations that the filmmakers were \"whitewashing\" a role that was Japanese in the original manga and anime. In a recent interview, Johansson addressed this criticism. <\/p>\n
\"I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person,\" she said. \"Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive. <\/p>\n
\"Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity. Certainly, I feel the enormous pressure of that--the weight of such a big property on my shoulders.\" <\/p>\n
Ghost in the Shell was one of the key anime films to break through to a western audience in the '90s. It was based on Masamune Shirow's manga, and was followed by three more movies, plus a number of video games. <\/p>\n
Ghost in the Shell hits theaters on March 31, 2017. <\/p>\n
