Hulu has it as well. In fact I think they have almost everything Ghost in the Shell streaming wise. It's pretty awesome!
Ummmm....
What might be the problem?

The compositing is pretty off, or "shitty green screen".
I usually hate when people gif a split second like that since it tends to dramatically inflate minor issues, but it stuck out like a sore thumb in the actual trailer on my tiny SE screen with the brightness turned down, so it actually is pretty noticeable, at least to me.
Perhaps they aren't using a finalized shot though, who knows until it releases. But to be fair, noticeable or not it is still quite short, so eh.

I went to an early screening of Free Fire last night (awesome BTW) and before it, we were shown about 12 minutes of footage from Ghost In The Shell. It was two scenes and then a quick montage of other shots in the film.
The two scenes were the creation of Kusanagi and then the scene involving the cyborg geishas, like from the first episode of Stand Alone Complex "SA: Public Security Section 9 SECTION-9".
The footage looked good, even the 3D worked well. The geisha scene was very similar to the "5-minute preview" that was released on youtube last week, just more of an extended version with Kusanagi talking to Aramaki via cybercoms. She spoke in English while Aramaki spoke in Japanese.
To me, it felt that this isn't a shot for shot remake of the 1995 animated film but the director's own take on the series as a whole. Which I think is probably a good thing. It should be its own thing as much as SAC is its own thing as is Arise.

Thanks for the impressions, I think this was obvious (to me at least) from the start.
Doing a shot-for-shot remake of the original would just attract too much flak and comparison (not that it hasn't anyway). Also, I don't feel like the original's structure would fly in Hollywood (not that it's a valid reason).
Still really looking forward to seeing it.
There are screenings for the press in The Netherlands. Don't know about other countries tough.

Did her breasts grow a cup size as soon as she took off the coat?

Flicked through the gif by frame, it appears that way.
"Opening cold' for critics, aka no reviews. Usually that doesn't spell out good things.

Naw. When you take a coat off that way your chest naturally arcs up and coupled with the light you start seeing things.

I noticed a bunch of bad composting in this trailer too. That and the cheap looking costumes and wig are really taking away from the visuals. It's a shame because the move looks pretty nice otherwise.

We had a press screening here in Finland. Embargo until Thursday 5 A.M. (GMT+2).
This worries me.

If you have the time, Stand Alone Complex 1st + 2nd Gig.
If you don't and you just want to watch some GitS before watching the live action film, then the 1995 movie.
In an ideal world though, you would watch it all — just remember that:
a) Ghost in the Shell (movie), Innocence (movie)
b) Stand Alone Complex (series 26 eps), SAC: 2nd Gig (series 26 eps), SAC: Solid State Society (movie)
c) ARISE (4ep OVA) or (10 ep series - OVAs split into half for TV broadcast + 2 extra eps), Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie (which, ironically, is not actually the 2017 live action movie btw)
...are all separate continuities, so will have differences between them (their timelines won't match up, etc).
EDIT: Completely forgot that ARISE has a movie as well because I haven't got around to watching it yet.
Yes, they literally called it "The New Movie"
That's the shadows and light playing with the way the suit accentuates her form when she takes off the coat.

Personal preference. I'd say Japanese, but I'm the type that prefers stuff in its original language
(also I can never get enough of Motoko's Japanese VA's voice...)

I guess that makes sense. The lines on the suit are throwing me off too.
Either one is fine. It's all up to preference.

Well it looks better than the last. I'm still expecting a generic sci-fi action film, though. Visuals should be nice.
