The Ghost in the Shell teasers look awfully good and I don’t know what’s real anymore.

Live action Ghost in the Shell looking… decent 🤔 really hope ScarJo does a good job

12. Some felt conflicted.
The teasers for the live action GITS don’t look bad. Still not a fan of the Major’s casting.

I’m so sad because the cinematography in the ghost in the shell movie actually looks really impressive, and also I’m so gay for ScarJo… 😭
— Aryll (@aryllins)
it’s a shame bc the ghost in the shell movie could of been really good if they got the right actress for it because it looks beautiful
