Those excited to seeScarlett Johanssondo a sweet action movie outside of the Marvel Universe are in luck, becauseGhost In The Shellis coming out next year. Paramount Pictures has just released a little morefootagefrom the movie, showcasing the first bit of her actually doing some butt kicking. Sadly, it really is just a very little bit of footage, but an encouraging bit of footage at that.
This new teaser, which clocks in at a very brisk 13 seconds, landed on theParamount YouTube Channelrecently. The footage showsScarlett Johanssonbeating up a guy in an invisible cloak of sorts. Also, pretty much the entire thing was done in slow motion so it looks pretty intense. This is the only footage we have seen fromGhost In The Shelloutside of the 5, very brief, separate teasers the studio released a couple of months ago. But now it appears that a full trailer is on the way.
Not only did the teaser include some new footage, but it also ended with the date “11/13.” That would seem to imply that a fullGhost In The Shelltrailer will be arriving that day. Hopefully, the trailer is good enough to help make up for the fact that many people are very upset with this movie.Scarlett Johanssonis playing the character Kusanagi in the movie, which is a casting choice that had many people very upset, as the character is supposed to be Asian. Paramount came under heavy fire for the choice and was accused ofwhitewashing. Things only got worse when it was reported that the studio had been experimenting with technology to makeJohanssonlook moreAsian.
TheGhost In The Shellmovie is based on the very popular manga of the same name. The story follows Kusanagi (Johansson), a cyborg that is a part of an elite cybercrime-fighting task force known as Section 9. The series was originally published in 1989 and was written by Masamune Shirow. It is generally considered to be one of the best manga series ever published. That being the case, other adaptations of Ghost in the Shell have come before, with an animated series, spin-off books and even a video game.
