Είναι μια από τις πιο φιλόδοξες ταινίες ever.

GHOST IN THE SHELL

Η κινηματογραφική έκδοση ίσως του πιο δημοφιλούς anime ever έχει ξεκινήσει. Και μια ενδιαφέρουσα επιλογή είναι η Scarlett Johansson στον πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο.

Για την ταινία μίλησε στο Cannes Film Festival το επιτελείο. Στην Croisette λοιπόν η Paramount Pictures και η DreamWorks Pictures ήταν σε πλήρη παράταξη και ναι, το “Ghost In The Shell” έχει αρχίσει να γυρίζεται. Η Johansson από Black Widow αναλαμβάνει ένα ιδιαίτερα απαιτητικό ρόλο ως Major Motoko Kusanagi, κορυφαία cyborg πράκτορας της αντιτρομοκρατικής ομάδας Section 9. Στο καστ οι Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones’ Euron Greyjoy) ως Batou, Beat Takeshi ως Daisuke Aramaki, Michael Pitt ως Kuze και η Juliette Binoche ως Dr. Ouelet.

Πότε θα είναι έτοιμο;
