MANGA @ JapanEX London
GHOST IN THE SHELL: Solid State Society
The Brand new feature length film from Studio IG
Manga Entertainment are proud to announce that they will be offering a special FREE preview screening of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex film at JapanEX on Saturday and Sunday. Seats are extremely limited and are available from Manga’s stand on the day.
The year is 2034; two years after Major Motoko Kusanagi left Public Security Section 9, the elite counter-terrorist and anti-crime unit specializing in cyber warfare. In that time, Section 9 has increased its appointed personnel to 20 operatives, with Togusa taking over as leader of the unit. Their latest assignment sees the team confronted by a rash of mysterious suicides involving operatives of the disbanded Siak Republic, many of whom had sought asylum in Japan. Confronted by Section 9, a fearful survivor issues a cryptic warning that The Puppeteer is coming, before killing himself.
Who is the Puppeteer and what is the connection to the so-called Solid State Society? And What has become of the enigmatic Motoko.
Written and directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG; Blood: The Last Vampire) and produced by the same creative team responsible for the hugely successful Stand Alone Complex series, this completely new and all-original chapter in the action-packed sci-fi saga is as thematically and visually breathtaking as its predecessors.
The two-disc GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX - SOLID STATE SOCIETY (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£19.99) by Manga Entertainment on 20th August 2007
