>tfw ScarJo was probably the best possible choice for the whitewash >tfw she actually could give an amazing performance of Motoko if properly directed >tfw she has the eyes to pull of the look
Jesus christ guys, honestly the more i look into the rest of the development of the movie the more I realize she was probably the only good choice besides Aramaki
Why must hollywood make such inherently awful decisions when they got good people available to make shit?
there is literally zero asian actors that could pull it off.
Jonathan Peterson
Scarlett Johansson > Elizabeth Olsen
Luis Flores
Well I'm not saying that, I'm sure there are plenty of very talented asian actors, but the time and money required for a talent hunt like that would be ridiculous to expect from hollywood
But since they're going the white route, this was honestly the best choice for Motoko, but everything else besides Aramaki is a fucking JOKE
Read the imdb, literally everyone involved has only worked on some shitty quality stuff
Even WETA, the guys behind LOTR, have lagged behind with their Effects with The Hobbit
fuck I'm so mad
Charles Parker
Its what im saying though, Japanese anime rarely has characters that actually physically resemble the Japanese.
Hudson Butler
>Jews >White
t. Goldberg
Michael Hill
Fag
Luke Nguyen
Is there any indication that this Motoko character is supposed to be Asian/Japanese? I don't watch anime.
Alexander Parker
>Jew >White
Gabriel Walker
MY NAME IS MAY JOR MOW TOW KO KOO SAA NAA GEE
Alexander Flores
Yeah, that's also my point
The lore is that she died when she was very young, but they managed to keep her brain alive, so they removed it and plugged it into a robot body
she still has a "human soul" (or not, that's one of the fucking arguments the franchise presents) but her body is 100% artificial
hell she CHOOSES the body of a sexbot as a disguise
sex bots are everywhere, she looks no different from the other bots, but her soul (Ghost) is what makes her different
>tfw if done right this movie can imply jew bodies are only good for sex
Did you see The Jungle Book? Her monologue as Kaa was fucking great, when I heard it I knew for a fact that she could actually play Motoko and speak without sounding stupid
Aaron Sanchez
tfw no antje traue motoko
Thomas Walker
Trips of missed opportunity
Carter Kelly
Her look is too early 2000s, while it'd look cool and really fit the style of the film, there's no way it'd pass in hollywood
Her design isn't even that bad honestly so far
She looks the role, visually this could be sick, but everything else will fall so flat and it ain't her fault
Kevin Sanchez
>Someone goes to Universal or whoever is making this and says "I want to make a movie based off a classic and slightly popular anime movie" the Studio Rep says "Alright, who's going to star in this?" they reply with "Some Asian actress". The Studio says "No deal, we can't sell an anime movie with some Asian actress, there isn't any big enough names for the movie to sell well domestically"
That's how it happened, there's no conspiracy to "whitewash" everything, it's just that popular names sell well and there is no popular Asian actresses that can bring in interest like ScarJo can.
Adrian Peterson
That's like saying the simpsons aren't white.
Joshua Adams
shit I meant to post this, I was referring to ScarJo in the second sentence
This isn't a rant about ScarJo, I think she's genuinely the best option out there, regardless of race
this is a rant on how this movie could actually totally work under the current situation, but it's not because the studio is going the laziest route everywhere else
the sex is TOTALLY part of the universe, the sex appeal aspect from hollywood would already be locked in if they did this shit right
these are from her actual nude set, she's sexy as shit holy dick
Samuel Bailey
The makeup is fucking off here. Her hair looks dyed, she looks like a teenager. I like Scar-Jo, but she's not muscular enough.
Bentley Peterson
why are pale women so superior to all other forms of women?
Ryan Howard
>tfw scarjo got breast reduction surgery nice meme bro
Andrew Carter
The fuck what's this from? That's not the 1995 version, or the 2.0.
Jaxson Martin
the costume designers listed on IMDB have done SHITE work on other movies
which was my whole argument
everything was so fucked from the start
I agree with the muscles, she seriously needs to build up her upper body
even asians agree with you
didn't she?
it's from the newest movie based of the ARISE timeline, came out last year
John James
>it's from the newest movie based of the ARISE timeline, came out last year
Disgusting.
Jose Morales
>didn't she? No, she didn't. She dropped a heap of body fat when she first played Widow and internet virgins, not exactly understanding feminine physiology, claimed she had a breast reduction because - well memes really, and the fact they're retarded. Naturally once she regained some weight, especially after her recent pregancy, they're right back there again.
Landon Sullivan
isn't that why Alison Brie looks so different now? weight loss really affects boobies :(
Henry Martin
i honestly not even mad about whitewashing etc i just know that the movie will suck dick and stray far away from that make the original gits good, and that is disappointing im hoping they will prove me wrong though
Nathaniel Stewart
Oh, well thanks for clearing up this meme then
it looks damn cool at least
Luke Harris
Who would make the soundtrack?
James King
>mfw there will be no ghost city what is even the point
Liam Powell
Peturbator
Zachary Roberts
Well yeah, it's mostly fat. Something like 50% of it is fat, the rest is breast tissue
Just a reminder this is what Motoko is going to sound like.
Matthew Morris
you know what? I don't care. I'm just happy we're back to cyberpunk. Or near future or whatever you want to call it.
Wyatt Phillips
watch the jungle book my niggs, I swear you'll switch opinions on her speech range
Samuel Martin
Problem is that Hollywood creates the opportunities for people to call it racist. Asians used to have Jackie Chan and Lucy Lui and shit they don't even really have LL anymore. So the number of asian stars is pretty low because studios don't think that they're marketable, because there aren't any major asian stars, because studios dont think they're marketable and round and round it goes. They had an actual chance to give people something a bit different but they're just gonna make the next Dragonball Evolution. It's not that she CANT be good in the role because she is white its that the rest of the people behind the movie probably never even cared enough about the material to consider an asian actress just like with DE. >yfw this will be the Ghostbusters 2016 of the GitS franchise
Daniel Bell
I cant buy into it
Hollywood's forced Scarjo hard enough. She's so lusted after that I cant even join in on the circlejerk anymore
Charles Jenkins
Nigga, watch Her, she has a great voice when she wants.
Adrian Wood
oh shit she was the voice in Her??? goddamn they HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL TO MAKE THIS MOVIE GOOD
FUCK
Jacob Gray
>Was pregnant. >Dropped fat.
Nicholas Foster
Jesus, she has such a whiny nasally jew voice IRL, there must be some cinemagic goin on here.
Parker Adams
Yes. There is. A combination of auto-tuning and sound mixing.
Justin Williams
>3dpd
Julian Sullivan
Agreed
Xavier Evans
I realise she won't actually sound like herself as the major, I happen to think Scarjo isn't too bad of a choice, it could be worse, right? Anyway, my point was kind of 'can you imagine if she did'. If i had my way, they would overdub Scarjo with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who did the voice for Motoko in SAC.
Christopher Bell
>give an amazing performance theres your problem
James Lewis
Oh, I agree with you on most points. She won't be terrible. And, yes, it could be worse.
But I'm just not interested in the American viewpoint on this, frankly. I want to see the Japanese viewpoint delivered by a Japanese actress, because that was a deeply fundamental point of the show, the clash between Japanese culture and the future.
If she can pull that off I won't have a single complaint. Odds are she can't, though. It's just my personal opinion, though. I kind of feel that's how most of people think.
Alexander Morgan
None of which matters as long as the character is not named Motoko Kusanagi.
Isaiah Morgan
>Ghost in the Shell movie. >Lead character isn't the Major.
???
Then why watch at all...?
Gavin Perez
Why do they keep the Japanese names again? That shit is annoying as fuck in Hollywood adaptions.
Ryan Howard
not him but i kinda want to watch it to see how much of a trainwreck or how far remove it is from the original probably a bit of similar plot and the movie name, the rest will be different just like every hollywood attempt to do live action
Dominic Kelly
yeah, i think at this point they should just do their own shit and said the movie is loosely based on gits. probably best for everybody
Blake Davis
Apparently they arent doing the plot from the original movie. They're gonna do the laughing man plot from the anime series Mostly because that original plot is outside the range of intelligence for mainstream audiences and they want to be able to market it to as many people as possible.
Robert Howard
Apparently it's gonna be a mix of the 2 SAC seasons
The laughing man is confirmed as the bad guy, but Kuze, the bad guy of 2nd gig, is also listed as a major role
Jacob Sullivan
the laughing man was cool, but like how long the movie gonna be to make it an comprehensive story? also maybe it will help some idiots to read salinger's books
Joseph Bennett
this shows exactly how they'll fuck it up
The laughing man wasn't just one dude right? it was a meme of copycat hackers and terrorists, with no real target
but I'm thinking they're probably gonna make Kuze the /real/ laughing man, even though that's not how it works?
Luis Edwards
are they really doing that? fucking hell
Juan Williams
This is going to be garbage. Any of the vaguely existential or philosophical themes in the movie/show(s) will be jettisoned for Hollywood action movie bluster and phoned-in exposition. Forget about the atmosphere and cyberpunk aesthetic, it's going to be dark and blurry CGI far as the eye can see, juxtaposed with stock shots of Tokyo or wherever. Action scenes will be a green screened "Major" bungling about with a cheap wig and a leather catsuit wearing the same vacant eyed stare Johansson brings to all her action roles.
Cooper Cook
Black Widow is supposed to be hardcore Russian. She was also an awful choice for that role, but people dont care because they dont care about the character.
>this They're going to take every mildly interesting concept and just ruin it because they want people walking out of the theater shouting O WOW SO AWESOME Because #transhumanism isn't a sexy hashtag
Colton Jenkins
they better fucking use this song to end the movie
Since scarjo got a reduction, I don't know why you stick with her.
Evan Watson
As expected from a nigger that also tripfags.
Cameron Collins
>getting le quippy stronk femme fatale to play a grimdark cop with an existential crisis >good choice
Logan Bennett
That chick from Pacific rim played a great messed up suicidal teenager in some movie
Tyler Hill
Because it lets you imagine that they've barely seen the sun because they sit in their house all day shitposting on the internet, just like you.
Tyler Diaz
It's krager again with the garbage opinions
Levi Sullivan
Might as well just watch this. This is about how I'd expect a scene from Ghost in the Shell to play out. Different wig though. youtu.be/nJn1LjLaNVQ
Christopher Moore
...
Austin Mitchell
It's not the action they're going to fuck up. If anything there will probably be too much action and not enough care given to establishing tone and an atmosphere.
Henry Butler
...
Michael Sullivan
Make it a little slower, more calculated, and throw in some cyber attacks, and it wouldn't be too bad
plus her action scene in the beginning of the first avengers was pretty cool
Now imagine it with a more latexy vibe
Luis Wilson
...
Nicholas Cook
...
Brayden James
That's actually the body double in the butt scene who covered her during her pregancy, but your point still stands
