Very pleased with the visuals. I am concerned about the themes of GitS being changed, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'm only a casual fan of the series so as long as they keep the essence of the character, and especially, the world, I'm game for change. And in addition, we don't know if this is the villain just manipulating her.

No seriously, I'd love to see that.

 

It would add to the trailer "game".

Visuals look amazing. Question is will controversy over her casting hurt the box office.

I think her casting will help. If she can get Lucy, as bat-s as that was, to make what it did ($463M worldwide), she should be able to do better here. What Asian actress would you cast that has similar (or close to) star power?

hype is low?

[Biggestgeekever]

I didn't notice there was a description of what this entails beneath the ticket selection:

Quote

In anticipation of the upcoming film “GHOST IN THE SHELL,” Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks Pictures and IMAX present a one-night-only event featuring an exclusive first look at stunning film footage exclusively in IMAX® theatres across 14 North American cities with select international markets and dates to follow. Attendees will receive a limited edition poster and have the opportunity to capture their experience in a film-centric experiential photo booth — “Becoming the Major.” IMAX theatres in Los Angeles and New York will also feature a special behind-the-scenes look at the costumes and props from the film. 

 

Does not sound like it's the whole film, sadly.

These were on display at Weta Workshop when I went today.

Do we know a budget for this? Looks expensive

[Dingdong123]

I think opening very close to Beauty and the Beast will limit its box office potential. Shame since this looks promising.

[Valonqar]

Ghost and Beauty don't target the same audience. Ghost will be fine unless reviews are Fantastic 4 level.

I really want to see this.

[DAJK]

I really think his is going to tank hard in America. I just don't sense much buzz. Warcraft numbers incoming.

[Alli]

I hope this doesn't meet the same fate as Edge of Tomorrow..

It's possible but I feel like it's more Edge of Tomorrow than Warcraft.

 

Edit:

 

Oh I said it before I even read Alli's post.

Edge of Tomorrow's numbers are fine for this.
