SKY CRAWLERS / SUKAI KURORA

Having only seen several episodes of GHOST IN THE SHELL but not investing enough time in the anime to grasp the story, I'm still happy to get the recent new that Steven Speilberg's production company has bought rights to make a live-action version of the anime. Great news. But that's not what my posts about today. GHOST's directer, Mamoru Oshii's new feature is something I'm very much looking forward to. SKY CRAWLERS. Mid-air dog fights, great soundtrack, this is really going to be impressive. People have already seen the first fifteen minutes at a Tokyo exhibition and are already praising the stunning work. Unfortunately, the only full trailer so far is on YouTube. View the full trailer below but stay tuned for an official version with better resolution. Thanks to TwitchFilm.net for the story. The film is set to release August 2nd in Japan.
