Published

I couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw a trailer and got so excited that I had the chills. Paramount Pictures is getting ahead of the Super Bowl by dropping the “Big Game Spot” for Ghost in the Shell early.

The trailer for Rupert Sanders’ adaptation, starring Scarlett Johansson, looks like a mix between Blade Runner, Big Trouble in Little China, Jupiter Ascending, and even Michael Jackson’s “Captain EO” (yup!).

Here’s the new promo with some fresh images below. Ghost in the Shell drops into theaters March 31, 2017.
