Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Movie Trailer and Key Visual
The PV was released on August 24, 2023. As the official stated, this will be a compilation movie which means they won’t change the outcome of the series. But, it is worth mentioning that the movie will have additional scenes that never appear in the second season.
In the PV, we can hear the Millennium Parade performing the opening and the ending of the movie. It is a no-brainer since the staff wants to keep the same ambiance as the second season.
The movie will be played in 30 different cinemas nationwide for three weeks. Currently, there is no indication that the movie will run into a streaming platform. But, it is expected that Netflix will take the lead and stream it after six months of premiere like the first compilation movie.
The key visual was released at the same time as the PV. It highlights Kusanagi Motoko at the front while Esaki Purin and Takashi Shimamura in the back. The visual also mentions the debut of the movie which is November 11, 2023.
