On Nov. 13, there will be a live event in Tokyo with the cast and director debuting the trailer for the movie. Impressions from set visits also dropped, and they're pretty positive.

Here's another quck scene with The Major in the Thermopic suit scene from GITS

The thermoptic suit is a staple of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, but anime has an easier time getting away with having its lead character move around seemingly unclothed and invisible than a live action movie starring Scarlett Johansson does. The filmmakers of 2017's Ghost in the Shell adaptation knew from the start that they wanted to include the thermoptic suit in their movie, but it was just a matter of adapting it for the big screen in a way that stayed true to the source material while also working with MPAA regulations.

The solution was to design a look that made it clear Major was wearing a suit while also giving off the effect of her being nude. Costume designers Kurt Swanson and Bart Mueller worked with Weta's Richard Taylor and his team to design a skin-toned suit modeled after Scarlett Johansson's body that wouldn't force her to run around naked in the film, but also would visually convey the idea of Major's thermoptic suit from the anime.

"We’re not actually trying to pretend she’s naked," explained producer Avi Arad on a visit to Ghost in the Shell's New Zealand set. "The suit emulates some of the ideas of the panel lines. When you see it the movie you’re not meant to think that that she’s naked."

I'd prefer she was naked, but that's just me. :3

Seriously though, this movie might be alright.. maybe?

How does her head turn invisible if it's not covered?

So if the CG-enhanced version is 2.0, does that make this 3.0?

She's a cyborg.
