Scarlett Johansson is on a mission to uncover the truth in the final preview for "Ghost in the Shell."

Scheduled to arrive in theaters this weekend, Johansson plays a super-skilled cyborg agent in this live-action adaptation of the groundbreaking cyberpunk manga series created by Japanese comic book legend Masamune Shirow, which was previously developed into a beloved 1995 animated movie from acclaimed anime director Mamoru Oshii.

The Hollywood film is directed by Rupert Sanders, an English commercial director who made his feature film debut with 2012's "Snow White and the Huntsman."
