New Ghost in the Shell Clip
Share:
After nearly two years of waiting, Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson is finally around the corner. To build the hype further, we have a short clip of the iconic water fight scene, redone for the remake, obviously.
It’s short, sweet, and looks very in keeping with the animated movie’s original style, i.e. very stylised backdrops, and a sort of green-y grey filter over everything.
Check out the clip:
In a recent Den of Geek interview, director Rupert Sanders spoke about the approach he and Scarlett had when it came to remaking such an iconic piece of film.
“We wanted to exist beyond the Marvel universe, beyond the DC universe. We wanted to be the rogue, I guess.”
“I think we’ve succeeded in that. It’s a really emotional and hopefully thought-provoking film, but it also delivers what you want to see in a film for that kind of audience. You want to see a big, action-packed film, but at the same time, as you’re moving along, you’re into the action because you care about the action because you care about what they’re going through.”
There has been some concern that the movie is whitewashing a few characters, given that very few members of the cast are Japanese, and the original movie was set in a futuristic pseudo-Japan. But don’t judge a book by its cover.
Expect a review later in the coming weeks.
