Paramount is playing the long game with its promotion of Ghost in the Shell, preferring to build as much a sense of mystery as possible around the manga adaptation.
Ghost in the Shell hits UK cinemas 31 March 2017.
The teaser also announced a date and location – 13 November, Tokyo – presuming that a full trailer for the film will finally be unveiled at a fan event in the city.
Having already released a series of five ten-second snippets from the film, a brand new teaser has finally revealed star Scarlett Johansson in action as The Major; showing off her cybernetic full-body prosthesis for the first time, as she turns invisible to kick some ass. io9 made the astute observation that the scene actually harks straight back to the 1995 film adaptation, where the character also turns invisible to beat up her enemy in a strikingly similar setting; is this a hint that the film will be attempting a pretty straight adaptation of the anime?
