Live Action Ghost in the Shell Movie
The Ghost in the Shell live action movie is still happening with Scarlett Johansson, and they just cast Japanese actor Beat Takeshi for the role of Daisuke Aramaki, the chief of Public Security Section 9

The whole cast should have been Japanese in the first place. Not interested in a whitewashed Ghost in the Shell.

& while I LOVE Takeshi Kitano, he's an odd choice for this role. |

Interesting choice. Hopefully they'll at least try to make him look like Aramaki. Same goes for ScarJo with Motoko.

Apparently, Black Widow has been messing around with the scissors and hair dye she drunkenly purchased at Wal-Mart. Motoko looks like a generic Caucasian action girl.
Although I am curious as to how much they adapted the characters' traits (not just Kusanagi but also Aramaki and the whole Section 9 crew) from the manga as compared to the animated film. There was a warmth and camaraderie they all shared. If they used the 1995 film as a template and tried to dumb down/simplify character motivations even more than that...then this movie might suck.

There's no "might" about it, it's been white-washed, case closed. Suck city.

I guess it's time to have the talk; this is where Scar-jo's come from.

 But hold up, Scar-jo is the last person I'd cast in this role, white washing or not. Not to mention, why do we care about a live action GITS? The Anime was outstanding in it's day, and still remains a classic, but isn't it more to do with the level of artistry in the animation? Isn't it basically female blade runner, give or take? Like, for my 10 dolla, I'd much rather 2hours with the guy in those pics - hell, give him the budget of GITS and a team, and see what we get. WAY more interesting. 2cents. |

Looks like the pot's being stirred quite nicely already! Not sure how I feel about this one, but I kind of hope it turns out to be good- might o see it out of curiosity if nothing else.

If people want to watch Ghost in the Shell, then they should just watch the anime. Not a foreign adaptation of it.
I wouldn't even trust Japan to pull out a good live action adaptation of GiTS, let alone USA. As soon as this was announced, it was obvious they were going with non-Japanese actors for the most part. So yeah, I'll just pretend this movie doesn't exist.

Apparently the studio tried to use visual effects to make Scarlett look Asian: http://screencrush.com/ghost-in-the-...johnasson-vfx/
Unbelievable  I hope this film bombs hard.
