Well hello there anime and lovers and movie fans well that was a great surprise this morning wasn't it we were expecting a trailer for the new Ghost In The Shell movie but we also got the poster so let's go with this trailer breakdown / review of Ghost In The Shell 2017 and since i can't find many images from the new movie that were in the trailer i'm going to be including some from the anime as well.
As the trailer starts we get a nice reworking of the classic first scene from the 1995 movie but of course updated for a 2017 audience sadly tho we don't get to see them remake the scene where the major goes invisible.
Now i couldn't find the exact shot but during the opening we also see various shots of geisha maids attacking what looks like a group of business men i only say that because you can clearly see some of the men wearing suits and this scene is apparently what causes the major to jump of the building in the first place.
This seems like a good time to bring up the major's camo gear as like in the original movie it is skin colored so i just wanted to clear any confusion there. Also this scene does lead to a pretty badass action scene were we get to see the major's fighting skills in action.
We get a nice shot of the major's cybernetic body which for me also serves as a way to see if the film will have decent CGI and it looks like it will. Before i forget a few shots before this we get a nice shot of the Hanka building Hanka will apparently be the main antagonists of the movie.
We get a nice new look at Scarlett as the major and while she doesn't give two much away we do get to see some of her attitude in this scene which in liked.
I like the look of the city they've made it look like the anime but at the same time have also made it look a bit more modern and a bit more dare i say hip at the same time which was something that i really liked.
The next few shots are basically just the major walking through the city while a voice over goes over the scenes with her saying that people are connected to something that she isn't connected to this could most likely be a soul since the major is a full on robot she would not have a human soul.
We also get the same shot from one of the 5 teaser videos that got released but this time round we find out that the person that the major is talking to is indeed her girlfriend who as far as i know doesn't have a name yet.
After we get a shot of some Hanka workers we get to briefly see what the company is working on if you havn't seen the trailer yet i won't spoil it but it does lead me to believe that the puppet master will play apart in this film.
Next we get to see another scene from the anime remade for the film and i have to admit the effects are getting better and better for me and if you saw the Entertainment Weekly BTS video you get to see more of this scene as well.
The next few scenes are just brief action scenes that end with this really cool look at aramaki here played by Takeshi Kitano apart from the major only he and Batou appear in this trailer so hopefully the rest of the crew will show up in future trailers.
A few shots later and we are treated to a very badass first look at Pilou Asbæk as Batou and i have to say in live action the character looks really badass so well done film makers for making him look great.
The very next scene is a remake of the boat scene from the anime and it looks like that the major and Batou will have some chemistry in this live action film we also get treated to a pretty cool action scene with Batou shooting a gun at some random unknown people
Now what's interesting is it looks like the film will give us some of the major's backstory and it looks like that backstory is a bit more adult for the PG-13 fanbase that this film is aiming for but it's still very interesting.
After that we just get a bunch of random action scenes thrown in there for good measure but what i didn't notice the first time i watched this trailer and have only just noticed is that one of those shots is from the final fight from the original anime only done in live action thus making me believe even more that the puppet master is involved somehow.
Lastly we get an unknown figure telling the major that someone has lied to her her whole life which i think is pretty disturbing we don't really get to see who this figure this but the scene does come with the shot of the major looking at a lot of dolls all hooked up to something which i think is really freaking cool.
