Ghost in the Shell doesn't just embrace CGI, it damn well loves it. The movie looks incredible and it's not just the futuristic landscapes that impress. Almost every character has some form of cybernetic enhancement and director Rupert Sanders doesn't shy away from showing them off. When I sat down to chat with Scarlett Johansson and the rest of the cast, all I wanted to know was how difficult it was working with that much CGI, and how Game of Thrones' Pilou Asbæk fitted his artificial eyes. Watch the above video to find out the answers and whether Sanders has plans for a sequel yet...

Directed by Rupert Sanders and starring Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbæk, Michael Pitt, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, Kaori Momoi, and Chin Han, Ghost in the Shell is in theaters now.
