If the situation was similiar to Akira’s original North American release then things would be different. Obviously though the original release of Ghost in The Shell gave us a very high quality version of the film with (if you listen to english dubs) a very good english soundtrack and excellent dolby support.

It’s sounds to me like this might be an attempt to roll out a new package and flog some additional sales … which would help the case for David’s comment above about a live action version.

I wonder how the intellectual property rights were handled?

nckl – It sounds like there’s not gonna be much for expanded story. This is just some enhanced animation and sound, from what I’ve heard.

Kamigoroshi – I agree – it is brilliant. I suspect it’s motivated by Hollywood’s intention to make a live-action version.

The thing about the original Ghost in the Shell was that is was brilliant to whoever watched it for the first time. Sure it might attract a whole new generation of people to anime but for those of us who watched it before, unless it’s like a directors cut or something, there is nothing new about it. Its greatest attraction was its philosophical backdrop which I think was too intense for such a short movie.

Give us Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 3rd Gig, with our beloved Tachikomas. Then we’ll eat it up in a second.

I’d only be some interested in seeing it if there was new story content / scenes. Is that going to be the case? Prettier animation and revamped sound aren’t enough for me to want to watch the movie (again).
