Set in a world where people are enhanced with technology, GHOST IN THE SHELL follows Major (Scarlett Johansson), who believes she was rescued from near death. The first of her kind, Major is a human mind inside an artificial body designed to fight the war against cyber-crime. While investigating a dangerous criminal, Major makes a shocking discovery – the corporation that created her lied about her past life in order to control her. Unsure what to believe, Major will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery of her true identity and exact revenge against the corporation she was built to serve. A “visually stunning”
(Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly) “classic in the making” (Dan Casey, Nerdist), GHOST IN THE SHELL also stars Takeshi Kitano, Michael Carmen Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, Chin Han, and Juliette Binoche.

and a few behind the scenes glimpses to wet your appetite for the upcoming review

Recently a small group of journalists got a behind the scenes look at the Weta Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand for the Blu-ray/Digital HD release of GHOST IN THE SHELL. They met with Weta Workshop VFX makeup artists for a Prosthetic and Make-up demonstration and were able to chat with senior Weta Workshop technicians to learn about the processes used to create props and costumes for the film. Afterwards, they visited some filming locations around Wellington including Victoria Street in the central city, which was the location of a major Scarlett Johansson action scene in GHOST IN THE SHELL
