This looks delicious.

Looks ridiculously COOL, and I love the soundtrack in the background, a slower version of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence.

Point for ya!

Thanks!!!

There if the same scene than in the anime ... the atmosphere is the same too ... hope it will be as good as the anime

I...would not have cast her as Motoko Kusanagi.  On the other hand I don't know who I would have cast.  

I know they have a more or less international cast.  I know she's done quite well as Black Widow. I'm just not sure.

If you could combine her, Milla Jovovich from her Resident Evil roles, and Charlize Theron from her Aeon Flux role, and then make her Japanese, I think you'd have it. But then Ghost in the Shell is my second favorite anime, and Motoko Kusanagi is tied for first as my favorite anime character, so I may be a touch biased.  I'm not quite as worried about what they'll do to the story as I was with The Lord of the Rings (and it was far worse than I feared).

Addendum: Ok, I re-watched the trailer, and then the featurette/trailer with Mamoru Oshii.  He liked what he saw so I'm a bit more comfortable with it.
