In addition to the new, full trailer (which you can find at the bottom of the page), the live-action Ghost In The Shell was given a lavish promotional push in Tokyo this weekend. As part of that event, director [Rupert Sanders](Takeshi Kitano) revealed that Requiem For A Dream's Clint Mansell will be providing the score for the movie.
This is certainly a positive step for a movie that has had go up against complaints about its casting (particularly Scarlett Johansson in a role many thought should be played by an Asian actor) and is paddling upstream against the usual torrent of misgivings about remakes. Mansell is known for haunting, evocative music and is a regular collaborator for some great directors, so we're interested to see what he brings to the tech-noir world of The Major (Johansson) and her fight against a terrorist out to take down Hanka Robotics.
With Pilou Asbæk, Michael Pitt and Takeshi Kitano also in the cast, Ghost In The Shell has taken aim at a 31 March release date next year.
As for Mansell, he recently provided the music for one of the latest Black Mirror episodes and will reunite with Moon director Duncan Jones for Mute.
