GHOST IN THE SHELL Film Clip Features The Opening Shelling Sequence

View fullsize

Yesterday the first trailer was released for Scarlett Johansson's live-action feature film adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, and it was pretty damn impressive! If you haven't watched it yet, make sure to check it out here! Since then a full two-minute clip from the film has been released featuring the opening sequence of the film, and it's pretty spectacular. It awesomely recreates the opening shelling sequence of the original 1995 anime film, which I also included below for you to watch. Director Rupert Sanders even brought in the composer of the original film, Kenji Kawai, to record a new drum composition of the musical score.

Based on the internationally-acclaimed sci-fi property, GHOST IN THE SHELL follows the Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic¹s advancements in cyber technology. 

Ghost in the Shell opens in theaters on March 31, 2017.

Watch the live action Ghost in the Shell movie's take on the anime's iconic opening sequence, with original composer Kenji Kawai performing a new composition live on drums.
