[30th Anniversary Celebration] The landmark sci-fi animated feature directed by Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in the Shell (4K Remastered), will return to theaters nationwide for a two-week limited run starting Friday, October 31!
As part of Japan’s largest film, drama, and anime review service Filmarks’ Revival Screening Project, it has been decided that Mamoru Oshii’s landmark sci-fi feature Ghost in the Shell (4K Remastered) will return to theaters nationwide for a two-week limited run starting Friday, October 31, in celebration of its 30th theatrical anniversary.
Based on Masamune Shirow’s acclaimed sci-fi manga The Ghost in the Shell, the film was brought to life as an animated feature by director Mamoru Oshii. Set in the year 2029, when society has become deeply networked, the story follows Motoko Kusanagi and Batou of Public Security Section 9, an unrecognized counter-cyberterrorism task force formed to combat the rise of computer crimes and cyberterrorist attacks. Highly popular overseas as well, the film has influenced countless works—both live-action and animation—including the Wachowski sisters’ The Matrix, cementing its status as a cornerstone of sci-fi anime.
This revival screening, celebrating the 30th anniversary of its original 1995 release, will be presented in stunning 4K Remastered quality.
Following the successful revival screenings of Patlabor: The Movie and Patlabor 2: The Movie (shown in both the original theatrical audio version and 4K version), this special screening offers Mamoru Oshii fans yet another chance to experience his legendary work on the big screen.
In addition, exclusive original bonus gifts for theatergoers are planned, with details to be announced at a later date.
Please note: while screenings will use 4K materials, some theaters or screens may present the film in 2K depending on equipment.
