“Ghost in the Shell” Featurette: "Mamoru Oshii"


Mamoru Oshii, director of the animated "Ghost in the Shell" films, discusses director Rupert Sanders' vision for the upcoming live-action GHOST IN THE SHELL film from Paramount Pictures - starring Scarlett Johansson, and essentially backs this film up, and as well Scarlet’s casting in the role as “The Major”, no doubt to pacify the naysayers (about the “whitewashing” of the casting of Motoko, threatening to derail this film, unfortunately), and I am down with that.

I want to be able to enjoy this film for what it is, and even to diss it, but AFTER watching it. But of course, that’s just me… is it?
