We’re finally getting our first footage of the live action Ghost in the Shell movie, courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures. Originally a manga, or Japanese comic book, the setting and characters were famously brought to the big screen as an animated feature for adults. That film has become a cult classic, and famously provided inspiration for The Matrix films. It then went on to have its own show, another movie, a movie for the show, and a series of reboot movies.

The new live action film has stirred up controversy for casting Scarlett Johansson for the lead role. As an adaptation to a well known Japanese franchise, fans were hoping that Hollywood would have the decency to use a Japanese actress instead of a white one. The studio has been criticized for whitewashing. On the other hand, Japanese fans have expressed surprise over the controversy, many already expecting that a white actress would be cast. There’s no perfect answer to this. Regardless, the full cast will feature people of many ethnicities and nationalities.

Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk story where cyborgs and human/machine interfaces blur the line between humanity and technology. The main characters form Section 9, a spec-ops team that exists to thwart cyber terrorists in a future where the nature of crime has evolved with the development of cutting edge technology.
