You know, but in a good way.

The new image is colored in shades of red, black, and white. Scarlett Johansson can be seen most prominently in the poster’s center all inked in white. Beside her, fans can see images of characters like Batou and Chief Daisuke Aramaki. And, in the background, it is almost impossible to miss the de-faced Geisha robot which lurks behind the heroes.

“Our future is in her hands. See Scarlett Johansson in the new [Ghost in the Shell] poster,” Paramount wrote on Twitter.

Based on Masamune Shirow’s acclaimed manga, Ghost in the Shell is a story that marries hi-tech action and philosophical musings. The series follows Major Motoko Kusanagi, a special ops leader at the anti-terrorist organization Section 9. The heroine is also a one-of-a-kind cybernetic human with a full body prosthesis. Tasked with catching bad guys, the Major works with her colleagues to catch criminals and extremists who wish to deconstruct society’s cybernetic advancements.

Ghost in the Shell is directed by Rupert Sanders, from a screenplay written by Jonathan Herman and Jamie Moss. It stars Scarlett Johansson as The Major, Pilou Asbæk as Batou, Takeshi Kitano as Chief Daisuke Aramaki, Chin Han as Togusa, Michael Pitt as Kuze, and Juliette Binoche as Dr. Ouelet.
