ghost in shell is overrated as fukk anyway. Never understood the hype. movie was average as fukk.
More of a fan of the series personally. GiTS Stand alone is dope.

As far as this movie, when has a movie based on an anime ever been good outside of Edge of Tomorrow which is based off a comic? I guess you can count Oldboy and Battle Royale too but honestly most american movies based on animes and video games have been shyt.

Also outside of avengers, Johanssen has never been in a good action flick. So despite being a fan of the series, I'm just going to act like this movie doesn't even exists. I'll be surprised if it even gets a lot of marketing.

Also my problem isn't that Scarlett is white. She is too young for the part in my opinion. Not saying the Major is necessarily much older but her character is supposed to project a sense of leadership and authority that comes with being a bit older and experienced. I just can't image Scarlett Johansson really pulling that off well. She is more known for being sexy is she not?

That's another reason I dont want her to be in this movie... For all her success LUCY flopped... this movie may work but damn if they are not true to the source material in this case already starting out with backlash damaging the goodwill of fans of the series...

Y'all ever see Pacific Rim? That japanese actress wasnt half bad in it... I didnt even know who she was but shyt likes that pisses me off, when you have new people coming out, you see them once but never again in other shyt... :mindblown:

Hollywood literally probably has a ton of foreign actresses vying for the role, and the

studio head: goes, um who we got we can cast this in? um scarlett johanson, oh white big t*ts attractive, the japs will love her...

Yeah yeah, i know she's white... but she will do well overseas... Oh the main character is asian, and it's set in tokyo??? hmm maybe we can shift it to a future san francisco and make her half japanese to cover the bases...

Yeah, yeah i know there's gonna be backlash but we gotta recoup this money if we're gonna get this film out there. she's bankable... miss mao yin from bumfukk zhangzyi province is not, yeah i know it's a little racist... but hey she's a bankable star, we could premiere this film in san francisco or l.a. when we premiere it in japan we can have it in english with japanese subtitles... it'll be great....

both the main actor/actress in pacific rim was fukking awful. Like days of our lives soap opera acting bad (at least in my humble opinion). I don't know what del toro was thinking with that casting, best characters in that movie was dude from always sunny, ron pearlman and idris elba

Hollywood is RULED by marketing movies to audiences, if studios don't think they can make a profit they're not going to take any chance on making a film. That's how it is. That's why Scarlett Johanson is playing the leading role to a japanese anime, that is why sigrouney fukking weaver played a god damn egyptian queen. Someday it's going to take a director to somehow convince a studio to "take a chance" on unknowns helming a big movie. I actually really love that Abrams is using relative unknowns for the new star wars film. But then again, at this point, it's star wars, anyone could've been in the movie and it will break records. It's basically going to take a big director who is super passionate about being accurate in regards to white washing and shyt or for someone to put up their own money. Studios just don't take chances without something being surefire money.

the big problem is movies need so much capital to be made, at least something like a big historical epic or a movie of that sort. I haven't and won't watch that ridley scott movie because I'm a huge fan of ancient egypt, with Ridley's visuals the movie could've been really something special, instead I see sigourney fukking weaver as a egyptian queen? WTF there is nothing more annoying in a movie then something being utterly ridiculous like that. Completely reminds you that you're watching a movie. I want an accurate egyptian period piece with :ohmy: visuals

why did the japanese guy sell the story??? surely the movie could have been done by a foreign company and distributed by a heavy hitter like warner bros or new line cinema... :mindblown:
