Paramount Pictures has released a trio of television spot for Ghost in the Shell, a live-action feature film adaptation of the cyber-punk manga series of the same name.

Like with the previous trailers and TV spots, we see Scarlett Johansson's Major, a cyborg with a human soul, going through an existential crisis as she tries to remember who she was and figure what she is now. And while she's uncovering the mysteries of her past and how she was created, she also has to lead her fearless Section 9 squad, taking down powerful and dangerous threats.

Based on the internationally-acclaimed sci-fi property, Ghost in the Shell follows the Major (Scarlett Johansson), a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic's advancements in cyber technology.
