Ghost In The Shell Trailer Breakdown: 21 Things You Need To See

We still have little idea who exactly Michael Wincott will be playing in the movie, though going by his brief stint in the trailer, he's probably going to have a cameo at best, as it looks like he's murdered in that opening geisha seige/shootout (with the geisha creepily grabbing him and scuttling away).

It'd be a shame if he's only in the movie for a few minutes, because as anyone who's ever seen him act knows, he's got the most ridiculously badass voice, which pretty much improves any movie it appears in. Maybe The Major saves him and all is well?

Given that he reportedly has a scene opposite Chris Obi, who plays Ambassador Kiyoshi, it's probably safe to assume he's playing a diplomat of some kind.
