To the cast of an ambitious project "Ghost in armor" (Ghost in the Shell) joined Michael Pitt (“Funny Games”, TV series “Hannibal”), but it is not yet known what role the young actor got.
Let us recall that "Ghost in armor"is a film adaptation of the comic book of the same name Shiro Masamune and anime Mamoru Oshiiwhich are considered iconic. The film will cover the events of the first anime in 1995, in which Special Forces Major Motoko Kusonagi, a cyborg, hunts a mysterious hacker called the Puppet Master.
The leading role in the film is played by Scarlett Johansson ("The Avengers") And besides Michael Pitt, in the minor caste are Sam Riley ("Maleficent") Johan Philip Asbæk (“Lucy”) and others.
Filming is set to begin soon in New Zealand. Film director Rupert Sanders (“Snow White and the Hungtsman”) is actively working on pre-production of the film, which is scheduled for wide release on April 14, 2017.
Expectation "Ghost in the Shell"is comparable to the anticipation of a movie based on the game "Warcraft". If the full-length “Ghost” is successful at the box office, other projects of the Hollywood studios “Robotech” and “Akira”, which are also based on famous Japanese comics and cartoons, will be unfrozen.
A Japanese film legend has joined the cast Takeshi "Beat" Kitano. He will play the role of Section Nine Chief Daisuke Aramaki.
A Japanese actress has joined the cast of the Hollywood adaptation of Ghost in the Shell Rila Fukushima ("Game of Thrones", "Wolverine: The Immortal", "Arrow"). It is not yet known who Rila will play.
