It probably would've done a lot better if they casted rinko kikuchi like people actually wanted.
like seriously, who was this movie for? Normies don't give a shit about Ghost in the Shell, and they alienated actual fans by fucking everything up.

>The Boss Baby

so Anti-Trump Propaganda?

is this, dare i say it, pure bebekino???

>Boss Baby

Is that similar to the Joker Baby?

>jews
>white

for fuck's sake

top fucking kek, god i hope this puts her overexposed career on the downs for a while.

It also needed a good director, Del Toro would have done a great job with this, i felt almost ill at the ending these retards shat all over the screen.

It took a movie featuring a fucking white male to beat it though

>women and minorities absolutely BTFO

Dear all you stupid dumbfuck manchildren,

Nobody gives a fuck about your Chinese cartoons you fucking faggots

>boss baby
>american """"""entertainment""""""

>rinko kikuchi

Bitch is darker than The Major.

>jews
>white

>Del Toro would have done a great job with this

Yeah he'd just up and leave not even halfway through production, great.

>mfw they honestly thought normies would see a movie called ghost in the shell

Except a lot of people do.

PFFFFFFFFFTAHAHAHAHAHA
*inhales*
AHAHAHAAHAHAH

Now, Death Note needs to bomb to hopefully continue to ward Kikes away from raping anime and manga with endless shitty adaptations.

I mean, if he were to stay and actually work on it...

No.
The masses are just angry about whitewashing. They don't give a shit about the movie.

Mainstream American audiences are one thing, but you said "nobody."

A movie that is a knockoff of a joke on the Simpsons about lazy entertainment is the top of the box office.

Cinema is dead.

(Not that a watered down GitS remake is any better.)

Lucy was a fluke, this bitch is way too much of a bad no-charisma actress to get people into the cinema.
I can't understand why Lucy made the money it did, the fucking thing was horrid.

is Death Note even getting a theatrical release?

>$20 mil opening weekend
>production budget of $110 mil + $50 mil marketing (marketing budget is usually 50% of prod costs)


maybe overseas will save it, but Furious 8 is out in a few weeks

She seemed pretty charismatic in Iron Man 2. Shame about everything after, I still rewatch it because it's easily the best boner fuel that isn't explicit or straight up porn.

only twitter sjws care, the normies i see irl havent even heard of gits.

People is a generous word to use.

Just because she's a Japanese actress people are familiar with doesn't make her the right actress for the movie. She doesn't strike me as the kinda person who could pull off being a leader in any way.

And I feel the same way about the frumpy jew who did end up playing the Major.

vocaroo.com/i/s0HAoZ4AQpwG

How so?

It's like Muttley and Gargamel had a child

GitS was fine. I just don't know why it was made. Follows the source material close enough but feels really 'for general audiences.' Like within the first 5 minutes they literally spell out for the audience what Ghost in the Shell means in the most painful way possible. Also who was the movie aimed at? Fans of the anime probably wouldn't watch a movie they have already seen, and cyberpunk/transhumanism isn't really big at the moment. This movie had no audience from the get go.

jamie chung or jessica henwick as major plz

Cyberpunk is in right now.

ScarJo is also a lefty who does all those shitty anti-Trump videos. So casting her has pissed off:

- SJWs
- Actual Nazis
- Conservatives/Trump supporters in general
- Weebs

It's an impressive accomplishment

>rinko kikuch

>cyberpunk/transhumanism isn't really big at the moment

nice meme

Should have cast an asian actress. Of course no-one gives a fuck if Asians get shafted because people only care about Blacks and hispanics in this country.

if jordan peele really does direct Akira will he actually cast Asian actors?

he got all the sjw points with Get Out

Well he has to cast someone as the bad guys. Makes perfect sense to make them white.

If it's set in America it should have characters that are appropriate to America. They don't have to be Japanese/Asian.

The Major is white in appearance with the consciousnesses of either a male or female asian.

Like how do you retards not get this? It's like you supposed "fans" don't understand the underlying thematic ideas of the original anime.

The anime and manga literally is white washing...and that's part of the message you fucking retards.

What a stupid fucking post. and the best part is, you KNOW it was a stupid fucking post.

...

*watches capeshit*

Anime characters don't look white.

Looks like we have a smart cunt over here.

Cyberpunk has been officially dead for 30 years

It has made a comeback.

wut?

it will return this year

Name 1 successful cyberpunk media franchise from the last 20 years that isn't the mediocre deus ex prequels

Casting was the least of this movie's problems.

Holy shit that's just embarrassing.

>"appropriate" to "AMERICA"

>Boss Baby vs Live Action GitS
you lost no matter what if you went to the movies this weekend

Like who wanted? How would you know what most people wanted? Websites that harp on her being white don't count.

Even the creator of the series thinks this fiasco about race is retarded since she's entirely synthetic.

...

What was unclear about what I said?

Moving the goalposts.

good thing it's not set in america

It became contemporary fiction.

>b-b-but she was always white, she isnt asian look at her face!
>they needed a white face to sell the film
>asian ppl in asia arent offended!!!

www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/04/oh-no-ghost-in-the-shellconsidered-using-cgi-to-make-white-actors-look-asian/

How do you know that?

I'm with you, I really don't think modern hollywood has the balls to put out cyberpunk with actual competent writing.
If GitS is anything to go by, they're just interested in using cyberpunk as a nice backdrop for their animators to toil away at while the writers pound out a script with kid gloves on.

Modern audiences don't care about mega corporations, mass surveillance, or the boundary between man and technology, they're fucking numb to the whole thing by the time they finish reading the news.

Should've focused on making a good movie.

Look at this Japanese woman :)

Fucking racists white washing everything.

Kek

>It became contemporary fiction.
Well quite. Biggest reason why cyberpunk is dead is it hits a bit too close to home.

>it's a movie about corporations fucking people over released by a major movie studio owned by a global gonglomerate that owns 1/9th of the entire world media

I never said anime characters look Japanese.

Peele needs to make another 2 or 3 movies before he's ready for Akira.

Without even touching the story or the casting the visual design of everything in the movie was just crap.

The original set the tone of the entire movie with a desaturated drab palette that conveyed visually that there's serious shit going on, politically and otherwise.

The movie just has stupid Syfy lighting in every single shot. It's always random postproduction blue/green/red lights in every shot so it looks cheap as fuck.

cyberpunk does well on tv

>Modern audiences don't care about mega corporations, mass surveillance, or the boundary between man and technology, they're fucking numb to the whole thing by the time they finish reading the news.
Also cyberpunk is punk. It's there in the name. Punks are also dead, and what was so edgy in the 80s is now bland reality.

What race does that picture look like then? Big blue eyes, defined nose, white skin. Even the creator of the series agreed that Scarjo was good casting.

This guy was right

Does well, too bad they're absolute shit.

akira will probably get delayed since gits is bombing.

Peele would either cast Asians or rewrite it to star blacks in New York or Chicago

Which is actually the correct way to do Akira. It's japanese enough that if you arent going to play it straight it needs a complete setting change and not just a partial westernization like they did to GitS

I want to see it, but Scarlett Johansson looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson in a Scarlett Johansson movie. So it breaks the line between a movie and reality.

>What race does that picture look like then?
It doesn't look like any race.

so basically the pinch of carpet dust that collects under a door?
The money is made by and for the normies, remember that will you, even if it removes the reason for so many threads. If a weeb comic or movie is popular enough, it'll be used as normie fodder and you'll have something to say about it whether it makes money or not, but know your fuckin place ffs.

if he does that he better not keep the name, it would be an entirely different film inspired by Akira. if he kept the name he is asking to be dragged through the mud like GiTS

This.
Part of the appeal of reading/watching cyberpunk from the 80's-90's is comparing their ideas of the future with the reality we live in today. That's probably a bit too depressing for general audiences.

True.
A lot of the characters in cyberpunk media are junkies and assholes. If cyberpunk is low-life meets high-tech, they're going to have to dip more in to grunge, which probably isn't as cool today as it was back then.

>white washing
The list of US movies that are remakes of Euro/Australian movies is long. Basically the amount of dialogue is tripled and a messy end is guaranteed for any villain, US version gets laughed at for the addition of corn and cheese to make it palatable to US market.
But hey it makes money so fuck off, is it 'USwashing' though?

Akira barely worked as a normal movie lenght adaptation the last time, and the things that did work and are still remembered were only in it for the fact it was an animated movie.
How would this work? Why does a live action Akira need to exist? If you want a new adaptation it should be either an anime series or a two/three-parter epic movie like the last Harry Potter, Hunger Games, old Les Misérables films or LotR (can't recall but maybe Nymphomaniac was one of those) but that would never fucking happen.

The problem is pretty simple.

You have to go hard one way or another. Either go full retard action and draw in the general audience like typical Transformers or Fast and Furious (which ghost in the shell would've been a stupid choice to go with), or you can go full "2DEEP4U" and go smaller budget type like Ex Machina. You basically either need to have the dumbass general audience support or the "leet" film critic support.

There is only one type of movie that can get away with doing "safe" "all arounder" style, and those are big franchise movies like Marvel. Those movies don't need to try, which is basically what GITS did. That's more because of the name and association of Marvel as well as general audience willing to see every Marvel movies.

Who are you kidding? You've never seen a white person before? The autism is so fucking strong here.

They never needed a white actress so it would do well. They needed a white actress to have even a shot of people backing it. No one was going to produce it without a known name attached to it. It was always going to be a risky venture.

think Chronicle with a bigger budget and that's the Hollywood Akira movie

also reminder that Battle Angel Alita is coming next year

>Who are you kidding?
Nobody.

>You've never seen a white person before?
I have.

>The autism is so fucking strong here.
Autism doesn't mean anything.

Have you even read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Long way from there to Blade Runner.
Is Blade Runner cyberpunk? You realise the term is very recent and there's movies and stories that can't be shoe-horned into that narrow definition, right?

You know I would actually be a bit excited if it turned out to be a series that covered the entire manga.
Too bad the film ending is too iconic for that to ever happen.

>Akira barely worked as a normal movie lenght adaptation the last time
When Akira was released the manga was still running, people wondered what it would include/leave out.

Well, both these movies were made for the same audience so who cares?

>which ghost in the shell would've been a stupid choice to go with

Appleseed would be appropriate tho

Not that user, but to me anime characters just look like well...anime characters. They're based off western animation so they're going to European facial features, but also Asian ones as well. They're literally just over exaggerated version of real life human beings. To simply define all anime characters as "white" is fucking retarded. Every single Japanese person I've met never considered anime characters to be "white". Like I said before, to then they're anime characters. There's no real racial component to them. Anime characters can look like anything, sometimes they big pink eyes and blue hair and shit

>she was always a white woman!!!

>has a japanese mother
>movie is set in japan
>has a japanese name
>is apparently 'identity-less' this is what you guys were saying about the whitewashing, if thats the case why the fuck does she have to be white? she couldve been black, brown, etc

Of course, the label has gotten pretty damn flexible.
I'd argue that Blade Runner fits the "high-tech, low-life" description in regards to the setting, although in this situation the main character is law enforcement and lives pretty comfortably.

I'm mainly zeroing on aspects of cyberpunk works that are a bit closer to the 80's origin, but I do understand that there are plenty of retards out there that conflate every near-future setting with cyberpunk.

What do you mean? The manga's ending is just really the movie's but longer. Do you mean the very end with "I am Tetsuo"? That can be left in, I don't see why not.
What iconic ending the movie has but the manga doesn't are you refering to?

and there's other big problem
