The clip contains footage from the "Ghost in the Shell Exclusive Event" held in Tokyo on November 13, introducing Scarlett Johansson as the protagonist "The Major" and Japanese comedian/actor/director Beat Takeshi as Daisuke Aramaki.

And it is also confirmed that the live-action film is officially titled ゴースト・イン・ザ・シェル/Ghost in The Shell in katakana, not using its original Japanese title 攻殻機動隊/Koukaku Kidoutai.
