When the full trailer for Ghost in the Shell went live, foreign fans flocked to the Internet to give their thoughts on the footage. On Youtube, fans have flooded the Ghost in the Shell trailer with complimentary comments. "Wow! I wasn't expecting anything from this live-action version, but I'll watch this, I really want to see it. Paramount and DreamWorks, this is more than enough to convince me! And Scarlett has just the right feel for it! I take back what I said about this turning out to be a piece of crap," Afro na Samurai wrote.

"What a difference it makes if you have money. This is a completely different level to Japanese live-action films," uramasago@K4 said.

Based on Masamune Shirow's acclaimed manga, Ghost in the Shell is a story that marries hi-tech action and philosophical musings.
