The 4K remaster edition of Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell, the anime film based on Masamune Shirow’s science fiction comic of the same name, will be released simultaneously in Japan and the U.S. on September 17 in IMAX format.
In Japan, it will be screened in 35 IMAX theaters, then will be also released in regular theaters on October 1.
The 4K resolution brings out the vast amount of information lying dormant in the original 35mm film, which could not be reproduced with the technology used at the time of its release.
