Too bad I don’t speak Japanese

While I’m not hugely into anime, I have over the years found a few that I enjoy a lot. Right at the top of that list is Ghost in the Shell, notable both on an artistic level and as one of the better science-fiction films I’ve seen come out recently.

It appears that there is a new Ghost in the Shell movie coming out in 2004: Innocence. In addition to the promotional website, they’ve also released a short teaser trailer (13.3Mb Quicktime .mov). Since everything’s in Japanese, I don’t have much of a clue what anyone is saying, but my lord does it ever look pretty!

Even better news about this, too: someone in the Slashdot thread about this posted a press release that states that Dreamworks will be distributing GitS:I domestically in the first half of 2004!

While Go Fish will undoubtedly release its share of indie films, the second film announced by Dreamworks was Ghost In The Shell II: Innocence, the follow-up to the extremely successful science fiction anime feature, Ghost In The Shell, which was directed by Mamoru Oshii and based on the manga series by Masamune Shirow (published in the U.S by Dark Horse).
