How do the folks behind this petition know that the movie will be set in Japan? It is more likely, since it is being produced by Dreamworks, will star Johannson and is being written and directed by two white guys, that the movie will be set in North America.

How a bytch named Motoko Kusangi gonna be played by Scarlett Johansson :14bricks:

The display of intellectual dishonesty in here :scust:
Well when the Japanese artist who created her drew her to look like a white broad and then the property was bought by an American movie company, and the Johannson starred in a profitable action movie last year; well it makes perfect sense to me.
It is more intellectually dishonest to think that there was ever a shot of an Asian actress ever being cast as the lead in a major blockbuster action movie.

While the character may be named Motoko Kusanagi (a Japanese name) she is drawn to look like a white chick.
These angry nerds should be mad at Masamune Shirow or Mamoru Oshii.

no she's not

the drawing they have in comparison isn't even an official

Same nikkas cosigning this bullshyt better not be complaining about Hollywood white washing characters ever again :ufdup:

That's what i'm saying.... I remember the outrage that the japanese fanboys had when they said they was gonna cast akira with all white actors.... :dwillhuh::what::birdman::damn:

Why not Let a japanese actress rock this movie. I dont care about scarlett johanson and her box office draw overseas. how is it when time comes they dont want to see someone else new get some shine... It's always the usual fukking suspects... :pacspit:
