The new release will feature a new 6.1 remix courtesy of Skywalker Sound, new voice-acting (some by the original actors), and CG and digital effects inserted into select scenes. This whole endeavor is eerily reminiscent of what George Lucas did with the original three "Star Wars" films, and so, of course, I have the same concerns. I am all for old films getting digital clean-ups and better transfers, but don't see why directors want to go back and digitally meddle with their works. "Ghost in the Shell" was already a great film, and I hope that these "enhancements" don't ruin a classic by over-engineering it.
