I haven't seen the new Live Action remake of movie, but I have (like most others in here) seen and love the original.

When I saw the ads for the remake, the only thing featured is a semi-nude Scarlett Johansen, crashing through windows, doing things which exposes her as a semi-nudi Scarlett Johansen. No tech. No "ghosts".

That tells me everything I need to know about what the movie studio thinks is important about this film. My wife already has it categorised as a "new Tomb raider". She's not interested.

While the original movie had its fair share of semi-nudity, it was really down deep a cyberpunk-story and didn't compromise on that. Looking at the ads for this remake, I have no such expectations this time around.

I wish I had more than one upvote. As someone who knows nothing about the source material, this is the only thing I've been able to glean from the trailers. For all I can tell, this is semi-robot Charlie's Angels in skin-tight bodysuits.


I've seen the new film (but not the original) and the nude suit is distracting (not in a good way) in a live action film. But to allay your fears, the film does feature a ton of tech including nigh-invisibility.
