Does the original Ghost in the Shell movie really need a re-release? Probably not, classic that it is (and we all know you shouldn't mess with a classic), but that's exactly what it's going to get. Rather than the complete 'rebuild' treatment being afforded to the Evangelion saga, it appears that Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is going to get remastered video and audio (complete with a 6.1 surround soundtrack) and some new CG and digital effects for certain scenes.
Take a look at some before and after shots of Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (top) and the original movie (bottom) to get an idea of what they're doing:
Finally, a trailer has also been released for Ghost in the Shell 2.0, which has of course been 'YouTube'd' already.
I'm still not quite sure what to make of the whole idea, but it should prove interesting if nothing else.
