The significance of the Ghost in the Shell anime cannot be overstated, inspiring for example The Matrix in style and shot selection. Therefore, one can only hope that next year’s live action flick, starring Scarlett Johansson, does the original justice.

After seeing the teaser trailer, let’s just say we’re quietly optimistic. Stylistically these little vignettes come across as close to the look and feel of the 1995 original movie, so it would appear that director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) is on the right track. Hold thumbs that he doesn’t pull a Batman v Superman on us.

These teasers were released as five separate little snippets, but the video below incorporates them all for your viewing pleasure.
