GKIDS screens 4K restoration at Chicago Critic's Film Festival this summer before wide release
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence film on Wednesday. The trailer reveals that GKIDS will screen the 4K restoration in theaters in North America from June 23 to June 26.
GKIDS describes the film's story:
In the year 2032, the line between humans and machines has been blurred almost beyond distinction. A string of murders perpetrated by a prototype android model has drawn the attention of Public Security Section 9, a unit specializing in counter cyber-terrorism. With none of the victims' families pressing charges, suspicions arise regarding the nature of the androids and their production company. In the course of the investigation, the almost entirely cyber-bodied agent Batou, and his still human partner Togusa embark on a journey through a technological dystopia, taking on ferocious Yakuza thugs, devious hackers, government bureaucrats, and corporate criminals to uncover the shocking truth behind the crime.
The theatrical screenings will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the film.
The 2004 film is a sequel to Oshii's earlier Production I.G worked on both films.
Bandai Entertainment then released the film on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in 2009 with a slightly modified English dub cast from Manga Entertainment's dub.
In 2016, obtained the rights for the film and rereleased it on DVD and Blu-ray.
