The Ghost in the Shell movie is apparently real, as the latest reports claim the film will begin production in winter of 2016. Scarlett Johansson is the woman who will take the leading role as the character "The Major."
The movie will begin filming in February of 2016, to be precise, and if all goes according to plan, Ghost in the Shell will hit theaters on April 14, 2017. That's a long way out, but probably the best time due to the amount of big blockbusters that are destined for the 2016 window.
Ghost in the Shell is a film that is based from the popular anime by Masamune Shirow. The casting of Johansson has not gone down well with many fans as they accuse DreamWorks Studios and Hollywood in general of whitewashing. They say this because "The Major" in the anime and manga is well-known to be of Asian descent.
