Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is announced

•

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is a newer “version” of the original 1995 sci-fi classic by Mamoru Oshii. It has been completely remastered (in terms of visuals and sound; including a new 6.1 audio mix from Oscar-winner Randy Thom), while the original Japanese voice cast have been brought back to re-record their dialogue too. If you’re interested in seeing just how much it has changed, a trailer for the movie has been posted online at the official website for Mamoru Oshii‘s next anime, The Sky Crawlers, and several after-the-remastering images can be viewed at the (Japanese language) website Ticket Pia too.

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 will be out in Japanese theatres on July 12th, and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that a worldwide release schedule is unveiled soon after.
