UPDATE: Based on a new trailer via IGN, it appears the film is not based on the 2009 “2.0” edit, infamous for its poor color grading, filters, and additional CG. The film is also being dubbed the 25th Anniversary Edition.

The special features include audio commentary, and two new featurettes. These are Accessing Section 9: 25 Years into the Future, and Landscapes & Dreamscapes – The Art and Architecture of Ghost in the Shell.

You can find the trailer and rundown (both via IGN) below.

Original:

The original 1995 movie Ghost in the Shell is getting rereleased in the west with a new two disc 4K Ultra HD edition, two years after a remaster was made available in Japan.

Originally spotted by user RedDevil85 on the media enthusiast site avforums, the new two disc remaster will include the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell film, in addition to currently unlisted special features.

The feature film Ghost in the Shell was the first anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s 1989 manga. Ghost in the Shell went on to spawn a multimedia franchise including live-action performances, video games, and even a Hollywood adaptation.

You can read a synopsis of the series below from publisher Kodansha Comics.

From Shirow Masamune, the award-winning creator of Appleseed and Dominion, comes The Ghost in the Shell, the definitive cyberpunk manga that inspired the internationally acclaimed animated film. An epic dystopian tale of politics, technology, and metaphysics, The Ghost in the Shell has been hailed worldwide as an unparalleled visionary work of graphic fiction.

Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including “ghost hackers” who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interfance and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers’ criminal ends. When Major Kusanagi tracks the cybertrail of one such master hacker, the Puppeteer, her quest leads her into a world beyond information and technology where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside down.

The 4K Ultra HD remaster of Ghost in the Shell will launch on September 8th.
