They should use that girl from Twilight
I wonder during an audition if they would ask her just to act normal, or to act as if she were a robot.

Is this another "White people can't relate to other cultures so everything has to be whitewashed" excuse? Because I'm getting sick of it and have yet to see any actual proof assign from the ever notorious "screen testing results"
Oh God, Hollywood is going to miss the point of Ghost in the Shell so badly.
Hahaha.Tony. His nickname will be "The Goose"
Do we have any proof that they could?
That list isnt helping though. Only one japanese person and her english isnt perfect.Top 40 Asian Actresses Under 40 to Watch for in Hollywood
There's another thread too, but saying it again: 15 greenbacks says the Asian characters will be servants and underlings
Hahaha.
Now I need one for Ishikawa.
Or they'll hit you over the head with the themes so hard that all subtlety is gone.

The Matrix is the best GiTS movie we'll ever get.
Just call him Bish and get Samuel L Jackson to play him. Done and done.

That wouldn't help the white-washing problem though (;
Why couldn't it be the Wachowskis.
Yeah. It won't be until Shia Lebeouf's Cowboy Bebop that we'll get an influx of live-action anime adaptations

Yes. Minorities, which are human beings with the same brains as white people, spend billions on movies starring people of different races. Conversely, Slumdog Millionaire made a ton of cash in the US and England. Is this even a question? Because the more I think about it, holy cow dude
How about its a 30 year old cartoon no one but you has ever heard of and nobody is making risky films these days.Is this another "White people can't relate to other cultures so everything has to be whitewashed" excuse?

It being a norm that Hollywood is racist doesn't make it any less depressingDid people expect Hollywood to get an Asian lead for this? Not being facetious here either. When I read the title I thought OK, I'd like to see a GitS live action film and of course they'll go after someone like her.
Now I'm reading through and the outrage is off putting. Like this isn't Hollywood we're talking about here.
Well...the action will propably be moved to USA, so it makes sense to cast white girl.Top 40 Asian Actresses Under 40 to Watch for in Hollywood

Nope, needs a tall athletic woman. Asian or not doesn't matter. The series has never been about Japan, so it could be set anywhere, and whatever race doesn't matter. Her name doesn't have to be Mokoto either.
The thing is, Mokoto has a very stoic personality, so I don't think this movie can work as a mainstream Hollywood movie. I can't imagine anyone making a good adaptation of this. Akira or Evangelion would be possible, but not this.

All of that depends on what version this is based on, actually.

ScarJo's going to get this movie to sell and GitS isn't mainstream anymore. I know it's easy to throw this into the pile of whitewashed roles but Maggie Q won't bring people to the theater here like Scarlett, especially after Lucy.

That director gives off blaring red alarms.
A GOOD movie will bring people to the theaters. Are people forgetting Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? I doubt many people in the US knew ANY of the actors and it was fucking subtitlted yet it was hugely successful despite that.
A well realized GiTS, playing off as being this generations Matrix (where non of thr actors were that big really), ig oring thr irony, could definitely work

Not that the movie will cover this ground anyway, but SAC is completely about Japanese politics and society.
On the topic of Ghost in the Shell, is the recent blu ray release of the original, or that ugly 2.0 shit?
I've still got my Special Edition dvd, but would upgrade.
