A slew of teaser trailers have appeared for Hollywood’s upcoming live action Ghost in the Shell movie, leaving some impressed at its quality despite Hollywood’s tendency to botch beloved Japanese franchises and possibly proving that the movie might have merit (disregarding its previous controversies).
The numerous brief teasers that nastier critics will no doubt tear apart:
The live action Ghost in the Shell film will debut in the west on March 31st, while a Japanese launch date has yet to be disclosed.
reserving judgement until I see the movie personally
this is the internet… stop being a reasonable human being…
given Hollywood’s track record, I’ve set the bar pretty low…
Japan’s track record isn’t that great either
Its like they think that choosing any random 5 second clip from the film makes for a good “teaser”, as long as they add a cool logo animation that makes it all seem “cryptic”. 2 of them were actually ok in that sense, but the guy shooting and emptying the gun and the girl asking “what are you?” for no apparent reason? Show something actually intriguing at least. So far it only seem like they’ve replicated a lot of the anime’s look, but… that just makes for a nice shell, what matters more is the ghost within it, so to speak.
what the- they’ve got Beat Takeshi?!
I love G.I.T.S. so good or bad I am going to watch it and not make a decision until I do. If it turns out to be total trash then I’ll complain about it because I actually watched the movie and not just some teaser trailers.
