Fuck that

They probably paid her a fuck load of money to be in that.

yup. I'm guessing they really want her as the protagonist because they offered her 10 million.

shadows plz go

shadows plz go

Quiet Beetle.

Never watched GitS, don't have the inclination to either.
So I don't know if that's a good casting or what.

it was actually really good. I'm certainly not an anime fan but I enjoyed it. It's worth a watch imo.

by Hollywood?

nah, its going to be terrible.

nagger pls
Ur kingweebnig. Y rn't u made?

Tangentially related, I just found out a week ago that my film professor has seen GitS. I went to her office for a meeting a few days later and found it full of anime and zombie movie posters. It was the exact last thing I was expecting.

she isn't quite a naggerman

she an Asiannaggerman.

this is old news


the manga, movie, anime series, and OVAs are all incredibly good

im very worried that theyre gonna hollywood the FUCK out of this movie. if they make a good GITS movie ill be extremely impressed. ScarJo is a good actress, and she can pull off Motoko's look (Motoko doesn't necessarily have to look Japanese, since she is full prosthetic, after all.) it's all up to the other actors, the director, and the writers.

ScarJo is so overrated it makes me wanna vomit

as far as actresses who are primarily known for their sex appeal go, shes one of the most talented. she even puts in good performances in shit movies like Lucy. her filmography speaks for itself

Wow. You actually think she's a good actress? She's so one dimensional. Have you seen her performance in Lucy? It felt just like how she acted in the marvel movies. Cold unfeeling and unrelatable. Even when she tried to be emotional she felt fake. I just have a really bad feeling about her casting in this movie. I was thinking that maybe she could play the roll of the puppet master? You know like when he hacked into that other synthetic?

duuuuuuude you said like the very opposite last night! Now you're just trolling.

have you seen the other boleyn girl, or the prestige, or don jon? i think she's got the chops for it. she certainly wont be the main problem with the movie. ill eat my words if she is, but i have faith in her ability to pull off the character.. that is, if she decides to method act this thing and actually consume the original media. im not so sure about that.

at least if its bad we can all pretend it didnt happen, like with the avatar movie.

im gonna be honest, I think one of the main reasons it won't work is because she's white. Terrible acting aside, the anime had a lot of artistic scenes to it and I really liked how it showed off a cyberpunk look at Japan. Now having the protagonist as a white woman instead of someone who was actually part of the ethnic region just makes no sense. Do they really need a big name actress to make this film sell or will keeping it accurate and consistent to the anime be "good enough"?

remember, motoko is a complete prosthetic. as such, she doesnt necessarily have to physically conform to any particular ethnicity. we've even seen significant variation in her appearance just in the media we already have, so i would argue that the claims of whitewashing are invalid, as long as we get actual substance.

i have only seen the 1995 film so that's all I can go off of unfortunately. It just seems more reasonable that if people create a complete prosthetic, they'ed make it look like one of their own. Not like somebody on the other side of the world. Especially since as far as I know, Japan isn't as diverse as the North American countries. So what reason would they have to make prosthetics not look like themselves?
