Heh, that's internal concept work with Johansson's face photoshopped on to what is either a Shirow illustration or an imitation of one.

His art is just always like that. :-/

Yeah, if theres a place where gratuitous sexualization is appropriate, it's definitely in an adaptation of a Shirow work.

If those character pics are real it still looks pretty terrible, though.

I'm hip to all of it, actually. The first clip was a little too American Horror Story for me, but the second clip more than makes up for it. There's a darkness and sterility going on in it that I can't place. Number 3 even has a kind of audacity to it that it shares with the Takeshi one, there's some frame-within-a-frame that is thoroughly disorienting because you don't know what it is yet. But Number 5 is where we really get into just how unconventional they're framing Johansson. Look how raised her shoulders are, how ducked her head, they're really challenging the prejudice that she needs must look 'sensual' because she's a voluptuous white lady. It's very gender-queer and appropriately alienated from putting on a facade for the spectator. In fact, the whole idea of femininity, make-up, and facade becomes exclusively associated with the horror movie Geisha-Thing in the first clip.

Reminds me of Alien 3.

Well put. I'm also digging the style, and I'm frankly surprised by that.

I am super loving pumped after seeing the clips. I've been behind ScarJo for this since they announced her, and I think they have absolutely nailed the style here. I'm sure fans of the later series, where things are a little more bright and colorful, might have issues, but I think they're nailing the tone of a cyberpunk political thriller that was the original. I'll admit I've never read the mangas, though, so I don't know how it all matches up.

Count me on board, especially if the full trailer follows through.

Aramaki unloadin on some suckas. Probably some snitch rear end rogue Section kids, because he doesn't brook defection. Or maybe Batou for not living up to my highest standard of improbable muscle man.

Also why do they work for some robotics company instead of the gov't?

I'm strongly considering just dropping everything and pursuing this whole trailer editor thing, haha. But yeah, I posted my trailer this morning in the /r/movies subreddit and it blew up; saw it got picked up by slashfilm and polygon just now. So cool seeing such a positive response.

It's really funny to me that you're calling a ScarJo action movie genderqueer.

On the bright side those teasers were visually pretty in line with the animes.

That was a nice episode. It helped humanize her in a way that wasn't the cliche "strong independent woman has emotional issues" way, and touched on both the general fear of being stuck in an outdated 'worthless' body and the fear of losing human senses and capability.

Also that kid grew up to be Kuze, so its not like it was just "BTW Major liked this random guy"

She's basically a straight man's version of a bi woman who acts in heterotypical ways, but generally prefers sexual encounters with women over those with men, while occasionally swinging the other way.
