Ghost in the Shell director\u2019s first original movie finally coming to 4K \u00a9 M.O\/Y.A\/TKM, TJC \u00a9YOSHITAKA AMANOFinally, it\u2019s going to become easier to watch Mamoru Oshii\u2019s Angel\u2019s Egg, as the legendary film is getting a 4K release in 2025. An early anime movie from the Ghost in the Shell director, Angel\u2019s Egg, is an avant-garde sci-fi production that was truly ahead of its time. The minimalist picture follows an unnamed young woman who protects a mysterious egg on the outskirts of a desolate city. She\u2019s joined by a young soldier, and they navigate patrolling biomechanical tanks together. It\u2019s an odd, esoteric film that came out in 1985, and you can see the influence through the likes of Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Ergo Proxy. Unfortunately, for the longest time, it\u2019s been difficult to track down. Occasional theatrical showings, a VHS release, and limited DVD and Blu-ray versions have kept the film accessible, just not particularly mainstream. That\u2019s changing, since it\u2019s been revealed that Mamoru is overseeing a 4K transfer that\u2019s due sometime in 2025, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Angel\u2019s Egg. With any luck, this will continue the push for more physical releases and greater preservation. We\u2019ll keep you informed as more details arise.
