Ghost in the Shell

so, we knew Scarlett's playing the Major, looks like Micheal Pitt's playing the Laughing Man

 

Rupert Sanders is directing the long-in-the-works sci-fi movie, which is eyeing a late February start in New Zealand.

 

Scarlett Johansson is a special-ops cyborg in a task force named Section 9 that deals in the most dangerous criminals and extremists.

 

Pitt will play a character known as the Laughing Man in the manga. The antagonist is a bitter and vengeful man with a body that is part robot. He has a unique sense of style and has been described as a bad guy filtered through the lens of a street artist.

 

 

Stand Alone Complex is easily in my top 5 all-time favorite anime, so i'm kinda wary of this one...hopefully it pans out!
