Ghost in the Shell 2.0 Movie Re-release

Grumble Grumble

GAINAX Studios was the first to set the precedent of producing a revised and enhanced anime release with their 'enhanced' release of the TV series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' and the new and ongoing movie release of the story. Now it appears that Production I.G. is following the same path by releasing in July an enhanced version of the original 'Ghost in the Shell' movie with new re-recorded surround sound soundtrack, and CGI redone scenes on par with the more recent 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex' TV series...

Ghost in the Shell to Return to Japanese Theaters (Updated) - Anime News Network

Now the original release of 'Ghost in the Shell' (which was an International release, partially funded by Manga Entertainment) didn't actually do that well in Japan. But with the more recent success of the anime TV series, Production I.G. may have thought that now would be a good time to try releasing the movie again...

So, is the original 'Ghost in the Shell' worthy of a re-release. And who would be willing to purchase the DVD release of a 'renewed' version of an old (but classic) anime film???

I'm willing to watch it, buying it is another matter.
I do like how they tried to make it match the Stand Alone Complex series more.

cheers, I love Ghost In The Shell
lol how do you find all this out len?

It was posted on multiple movie and anime related websites.

Agreed. And I'll watch it just because it's GITS. Aaand I also prefer Stand Alone Complex more, too. Plus it looks decently epic.

Thanks LenMiyata, I wouldn't've known about the movie otherwise.

:I I'm also going to have to see to that Evangelion movie.

OH, and the before and after pictures link is broken.

But I'd certainly be willing to buy them. I'm a fan and if I thought it's worth it, then *shrug* why not. Maybe they'll do Stand Alone Complex next.

I know i will be checking this out when it finally comes out,and if it is really good i most likely will by it too added to my collection. I am liking the fact that they are trying to tie in all the GITS in to one story line. But as the first one to me was great in its own way,I am very interesting how this will looked compared to the older version and sounds.

Once again thanks Len for the info..

Wow, I wouldn't even had know that G.I.T.S was making another movie, if I had not come across this thread. I would like to watch it, because I love S.A.C and I want to watch it as much as possible. Thanks for the info Len ^^
