Ghost in the Shell (2017) Plot Synopsis:

In the near future, human organs are enhanced by the cybernetics technology developed by the powerful Hanka Robotics Corporation owned by Cutter. Dr. Ouelet is responsible for the development of the secret project 2571 of a full mechanical body to be connected to a human brain. She uses the brain of a young woman that lost her parents in a cyber attack as subject of a prototype. One year later, the woman is ranked Major and has joined Section 9, an anti-terrorist division commanded by Chief Daisuke Aramaki, working with agents Batou and Togusa. She needs to use a medicine to help the integration of her brain with the mechanical body and has no recollections of her previous life. When Section 9 hunts down the terrorist Kuze, Major learns the secrets about Hanka Robotics and the experiment she was subjected. Now she faces her ultimate enemy: Kuze, a criminal who has managed to hack into the brains of androids and control them.

Director Rupert Sanders brings one of the first critically acclaimed animes to come over to the US in Ghost in the Shell (2017) which releases in movie theaters on March 31, 2017. From what I have seen so far, this film looks like it will push the boundaries of visual graphics but I do not want to get over hyped until I see this movie. I know that this movie will not be a direct port from the beloved anime movie and TV series, but at least it will shine in its own light and draw in additional fans to the Ghost in the Shell story while satisfying some of the hardcore fans too. As of this writing, the movie runtime is still to be released which worries me a bit. Scarlett Johansson, Michael Wincott, and Michael Pitt star in Ghost in the Shell.
