Cinema 30 March, 2017

Pilou Asbæk plays in Ghost in the Shell the famous Batou, the Major’s right-hand man. The actor speaks to us exclusively of his inspirations and his collaboration with Scarlett Johansson.
We talk a lot about Major, the incredible heroine of Ghost in the Shell – and that’s normal. But we should not forget the rest of Section 9, whose members all struggle to protect a world become hyper-connected cyber-terrorists who threaten it! And among them, there are two that one notices more than the others. On the one hand, there is the terrible Daisuke Aramaki, the leader of the group embodied by the renowned Japanese actor and director Takeshi Kitano. And then, on the other hand, there is the unstoppable Batou, the faithful right-hand man a little misanthropic of Major … and the only being in whom she truly trusts 100% . With his hair shaggy, his impressive size and his cybernetic eyes, Batou is a formidable fighter, but not without lack of humor. And it is the Dane Pilou Asbæk, who played Borgen in particular and who lends his features to the fanatic Euron in Game of Thrones , who took charge of bringing the character to life on the screen. After Scarlett Johansson, who answered our questions about his role in Ghost in the Shell , it is in his turn to tell us about the film, Batou and how he perceives it!
It is not the first time that the actor gives the reply to Scarlett Johansson, since these two already crossed on Lucy , of Luc Besson. And it must be believed that the experiment was successful since Pilou Asbæk did not hesitate to collaborate again with the actress, even declaring: ” If I had not as much amused the first time, I probably would not be Here for the second time . ” But if he admired Scarlett Johansson, he was, of course, attracted by the role of Batou , drawing his inspiration from the different versions of the character in order to create the best one for the film. He describes it in these terms: ” One could almost say that it represents the soul and heart of this futuristic world, where everyone is either a cyborg or cybernetically improved . “, Before discussing the visual aspect of Batou, which was discovered in more detail on the recent animated posters of Ghost in the Shell .
