Scarlett Johansson to star in "GHOST IN THE SHELL"

[Londilon]

at the end of the day Hollyweird doesn't know how to handle philosophical content very well and Ghost in the Shell has too many philosophical themes and should be left for Japan to make a live action flick of it.

Just look at what they did to Dragon Ball Z and its not even philosophical.

but in the scene she is naked because she is going invisable am I not wrong?

optical camo wasn't some rare thing, people could use it in full gear

I only watched the anime movie, never read the anime.

Don't care about the whitewashing. Anime illustrators need to stop portraying their characters as cacs

the cacs in america had more of an issue than the actual people of japan

Anybody else get a Blade Runner feel?
Visually it looks dope but besides the obvious, the story is looking hella tweaked from source material

We've reached peak reference each other in movies circle jerk breh

Would be no GITS without BLADE RUNNER. Would be no AKIRA without BR. Would be no MATRIX without BR. Would be no BR2 comin up without...MATRIX?

What I've come to understand is that you can't expect a faithful western adaptation of an anime.

The reality is, the only people who care about accuracy are anime stans, and they make up a very small minority of people who will see this movie.

The studio gains nothing by catering to us.

ScarJo is the lead because her starpower will put more butts in theater seats. It's that simple.

None of that matters to me or anyone. It's more a question of why are these studios adapting anime to begin with when they're so likely to fail. Their inherent Japanese-ness is what makes them special, these adaptations seem like what would happen when nikkas try making hummus with peanut butter instead of tahini.

I mean, I could have seen a Nolan AKIRA panning out (but it was scrapped) and maybe if they get the right crew for DEATH NOTE, but even those are long shots.

They're getting closer to finding the happy medium though. Pacific Rim may as well have been an anime and Edge of Tomorrow did numbers despite fukking up everything like release date, advertising, and even the title.

I just think this is gonna be a confusing step in the wrong direction.

Death Note has been done in Japan..
L had I think 3 movies by himself..
Attack on Titan as well(which I could see US producer clamoring to do)..
Probably one of the best anime/manga remakes was Casshern and Intial D wasn't that bad either(amongst other adaptations)
But these were directed by Asian directors that at least had the grasp and concept of the stories and source material.
The US is just concern with the paper and fukkery which Asian Cinema might be going for with The Great Wall fukkery

Even the Japanese fall the fukk down when they do the live action adaptations of anime and Manga. There's a freedom in the animation that gets lost even in this CGI age. Put Hollywood's bytch ass market testing in the mix and
