Those of you that were on hand at the Otakon were priviledged to catch a sneak peek at Ghost in the Shell 2:Innocence. Those of you that weren't...well, don't say I never gave you anything.

From a recent press release at Dreamworks SKG: “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence,” which became the first anime film ever to screen in competition at the Cannes Film Festival this year, is the story of a solitary cyborg who desperately wants to hold on to what’s left of his humanity in a world where the worth of the human soul is fading almost into obscurity.

“Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence,” which was once again written and directed by Mamoru Oshii, will be released in U.S. theaters on September 17, 2004 under the Go Fish Pictures banner, a division of DreamWorks Pictures. Produced by Production I.G, the team behind the anime segments in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill: Volume 1,” this is the second anime film to be distributed by Go Fish Pictures, following the September 2003 release of Satoshi Kon's “Millennium Actress.”
