Scarlett Johansson was seen by local media in Hong Kong this morning, being filmed for the live action adaptation of classic anime "Ghost in the Shell."

She was spotted on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei earlier with Pilou Asbæk, who plays the male protagonist, reported HK01.com.

Johansson was seen sporting blue short hair as the leading role of cyborg policewoman Major Kusanagi.
