Mamoru Oshii's first Ghost in
the Shell cyberspace film will return to
five Japanese theaters in an enhanced Ghost in the
Shell 2.0 edition on July 12. The new edition will include
new computer graphics and digital effects for some scenes and
a reunion of most of the cast members for
a new 6.1 surround sound recording.
Academy-Award-winning sound mixer/editor Randy Thom (
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, The Incredibles, The Right Stuff) has overseen the new soundtrack with
Kenji Kawai's original music and a final mix that has been produced at
Thom and
Lucas Digital's
Skywalker Sound studio
in California.
