i dont agree that they wont give an unknown acctress a shot. look at precious
Unknown who matches the book. and u saying that there isnt any jap american actress out there? I dont care about your foreign movie resume sounds like u just want to boast. but they give unknown people shots all the time. i dont know shyt about manga tho. of course they gonna cac it up. but it would be nice to see the whitewashing stop.

C'mon son....you know damn well "Precious" was relatively low budget by Hollywood standards.
"GITS" is a sci-fi epic, that shyt will be $100+ mill easy. They ain't casting unknowns in any of the remotely important parts.
And people know my resume. If you're into foreign movies, I've been in that thread, actively talking about shyt I've seen or am watching. This ain't any boasting shyt, any more than "check my resume on rap" would be for The Booth, or "check my resume on video games" would be in The Arcadium. I actually know my shyt.

Sam worthington.
come on son. dont tell me an unknown dont get big parts. but i respect ya movie knowledge but i aint no slacker myself. they whitewashing this like everything else.
I didn't name a Japanese actress because it has no bearing on any of the points I tried to make in this thread, in fact you could make a case that it's counter intuitive to my argument My whole point is that it's a inherently Japanese storyline and the character itself is Japanese there for Hollywood should use this opportunity to actually push a unknown(to the mainstream) actress that actually identifies with the race of the character then to slapstick a blonde hair blued eyed chick into the role. Your point is "uh uh uh I have no point but name me a Japanese actress cause if I don't know the person I and others won't watch." Like that isn't the biggest excuse as to why these Hollywood executives feel its ok to whitewash shyt.
To satisfy your backwards ass inquiry Shinobu Terajima would do well. She has that poweful milf vibe that the actual character exudes plus she's *gasp* Japanese. She was on Ryoma which was one of the best J Dramas of all time
Breh....
They are not going to push an unknown in a major role in a movie like "Ghost In The Shell". That's never going to happen.
Secondly, you keep talking about "identifying with the character"....Margot Robbie is not even signed on yet, or attached to any specific character. She could just be a VO.
Thirdly, most of the characters in anime in general, and "GITS" specifically don't look Japanese. Hell, Japan specializes in white-washing their characters already.
I realize the source material is Japanese, but can you seriously sit there with a straight face and tell me this character looks Japanese?
Hell no. So what is the beef exactly? This ain't "oh, they made a Black Panther movie but they cast Taylor Kitsch in the role".

Sam Worthington was in a gang of shyt prior to "Avatar", and made a name for himself in Australia. He was acclaimed before that movie.
"It should be a Japanese actress" is problematic because:
1. There isn't really any well known ones in America.
2. Therefore it would have to be someone relatively unknown.
No shots, but can you name a Japanese equivalent of Sam Worthington? Because I honestly can't. I was gonna say ol girl from "Hannibal" but she's Korean.

bytch from kill bill, gogo? Lol. shyt idk.
thats irrelevant tho. i had never heard or sam worthington..one of the reasons u cast an unknown is to keep your budget lower. i had never heard of margot robbie..but she gets a shot. so why cant minorities get their shot too? Hispanics, black, indian etc..i can name plenty of latina actresses but im sure there are unknowns who deserve a shot and may be more talented than the ones u can name.
the Hara Kiri remake is str8 , Takashi Miike directed

Wasnt one of the main complaints about the last airbender was that it was whitewashed? But its ok for this movie cuz a blond hottie showed her snatch. which is coo w. me but it seems like a double standard now.
