"They created me. But they cannot control me."
The marketing for Paramount's Ghost in the Shell movie is shifting into high gear with just a month and a half to go before the film is released in theaters. With a new trailer set to be released next week, we should be learning a bit more about the actual plot of the movie and get a clearer picture of just how much the film adheres to the source material. However, we're hopeful that Paramount doesn't give TOO much away as that's a growing trend in Hollywood. Often times, you can piece together the entire plot and narrative strucutre of a film by stitching together all of the TV spots and trailers.
Check back on Tuesday as we'll have the new trailer as soon as it's released online.
The live-action adaptation starring Scarlett Johansson will hit theaters on March 31, 2017.
