Scarlett Johansson to star in "GHOST IN THE SHELL"
- Thread starter Optimus Prime
- Start date

Global Domination
So the studio was considering giving her yellowface through digital effects
'Ghost in the Shell' responded to Scarlett Johansson backlash in the worst possible way
Hollywood would rather spend millions on special effects than cast an Asian person. With so much backlash early on, it wouldn't shock me if the movie ends up doing Aeon Flux status at the box office.
so they tried to do that cloud atlas shyt again

What happened with Cloud Atlas?
In each of the three (or four) different stories, the characters were played by the same cast of actors. One story takes place in Asia in the distant future, so they slapped make-up on a bunch of white actors to have them appear Asian, most notably Halle Berry being turned into an old Asian man (yes, no joke). Additionally, both Halle Berry and Korean actress Doona Bae also play white characters in the movie and as said there is some gender-swapping as well.
The mom from Fresh Off The Boat is perturbed about this too:

Why didnt they just hire the asian chick from Pacific Rim???
Simple, they wanted a "draw" as the lead. That they are completely fukking a$$holes for it, doesn't matter to them.

why not hire an asian if you're gonna use CGI to make her look asian in the first place. Scar Jo isn't a draw, they're just wasting money and for what?

Of course not. I think Hollywood is still running far behind on the increased public perception of white washing. It doesn't help there's still a shytload of morons who co-sign that shyt like it's all good.

Bleach is one of the most ethnically diverse animes that I've watched. It's up there with Gangsta, and Black Lagoon.
Naruto doesn't look like a white kid. More mixed than anything. The rest of the cast in Konoha is Japanese then you have a little more diversity in the other villages.
Full Metal Alchemist is meant to be diverse. The brothers are white, obviously though. Edward and Alphonse Elric.
Hunter x Hunter? What is that?
There's no confusion, main character of Ghost's name is Motoko Kusanagi. End of story.
Next thing you know you'll be calling this dude white because his hair isn't black.
and meh, the other villages barely had diverstiy youre thinking only of the village hidden in the clouds which had a handful of black people and the raikage.

my exact pointAnd white washing? These Asians draw themselves as cacs in these animes anyways.
