Mamoru Oshii’s clas­sic ani­mé is being re-released in the UK ear­ly next year.

Fol­low­ing the suc­cess­ful re-release of cult ​’80s ani­mé Aki­ra in the UK, Man­ga Enter­tain­ment will be bring­ing anoth­er clas­sic ani­ma­tion back to the big screen in the form of Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 Ghost in the Shell. The film will be show­ing for one night only at 80 cin­e­mas across the UK on 25 Jan­u­ary, 2017.

Return­ing 21 years after its ini­tial UK release, the Japan­ese sci-fi ani­ma­tion tells the sto­ry of a cyborg police­woman and her part­ner as they try to stop a pow­er­ful and mys­te­ri­ous hack­er. Her­ald­ed as one of the best ani­mé films of all time, this is a rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to catch it in its full glo­ry – and before next year’s anx­ious­ly-antic­i­pat­ed live action remake.
