Does anyone have any news about the San Diego's Comic-Con International?

And the movie was supposed to be released in theatre about a month ago but I haven`t really heard anything about it.

Some more details from ANN: Terashima also confirmed that Manga Entertainment will be handling the North American release of Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (pictured at right), the enhanced edition of the 1995 movie. Manga will announce its plans for the film at the San Diego's Comic-Con International. Here...
