Mamoru Oshii, the director of the 1995 Japanese anime film “Ghost in the Shell,” praised Scarlett Johansson in a new featurette for the live action adaptation. “Scarlett Johansson, playing Motoko from beginning to end, has gone above and beyond my expectations for the role,” Oshii says in the clip released Thursday. “I’m sure this will be the most gorgeous film in the series so far,” he continues about the film’s cyberpunk visuals.
