Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitt will play one of the key antagonists in the adaptation of the popular Ghost in the Shell manga. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor got the role of a hacker nicknamed Laughing Man.

This character was first introduced in the episode "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex". Among his talents is the ability to replace his face in all digital images, including those generated by cybernetic eyes. Instead of his face, he shows users an animated logo.

Recall that until the end of January 2016, the project was supervised by Walt Disney, but then, for unspecified reasons, it refused to finance it. The new partner of DreamWorks studio, which has the rights to movie the manga, is Paramount Pictures, which at the time of this writing has not changed its previously announced premiere date - March 31, 2017.

Scarlett Johansson will play the main role in the movie, which will be directed by the creator of the movie "Snow White and the Huntsman" Rupert Sanders. It may also star actor Sam Riley, familiar to viewers from the movie "Maleficent".

The plot of the original is built around a special police unit specializing in the investigation of high-tech crimes.
