Death note is actually the least offensive of the three, since they're changing the setting.

>>
>>149802602
The Death Note one is excusable in that they're changing the entire setting to be set in America.
>>
It'll be ok, but nothing special.

The sad reality is that things like this, the Gundam Franchise, and others like Attack on Titan need to be collaborations where actors from various countries can be pulled in to form the cast.

FMA is meant to be largely a parallel Europe/Germany, and thus should have a largely Germanic cast with some other Europeans mixed in, while the only Asians should be those playing the Xingese characters (if they're to even appear within the story).

And yet, if this were made by Hollywood, they'd probably just make it another whitewash like the fucking Avatar movie, including the Asian characters.

This is how it is for every japanese movie. Their acting is hammy and they literally can't afford to make anything look decent. People in japan can stomach this kind of film, so that's who they're made for. They're not thinking about an international audience.

>>149807035
You'd think they'd go for smaller scale productions, then.

>>149806914
I don't think they actually put effort in these live action adaptations, they probably just make them for a quick buck. Which is a shame because they can actually be good when put effort like in the Kenshin live actions which were made mostly using wires and practical effects.

>>149810690

In most case, Whitewashing in Hollywood movies sees more changes than just the race of the characters, names and all that shit are altered to fit the new setting.

This is just basically a cosplay movie.

Not sure what to say about the Ghost in the Shell movie, since the setting is meant to be a weird melting pot of Japan and other cultures. Yet they're apparently keeping the Major's full name instead of something that would be fitting of someone who isn't one-iota Asian.

Here is what i don't get. Why does Hollywood purposely go for shit like Akira or GTIS when shit like FMA is just as if not more popular and has a lot of Caucs in it? They don't have to Whitewash anything, they're already White. Speaking of GTIS and FMA, Scarjo would actually be perfect for Riza Hawkeye.
>>
>>149811197
fuck off, /tv/
>>
>>149811238

From what I understand, a lot of it has to do with the film rights for those two being held by American studios for YEARS. Like, when the originals first came to the states, many studios were scrambling to secure film rights for their own adaptions because god forbid a movie from another country be popular in the US.

"Either we make it, or at least produce a turd no one can salvage!"

But yea, you'd think something like FMA which is still going pretty strong even after concluding 6 years ago would be the one to get an American adaption.

On the whole thing about GTIS, I'm worried they're focusing too much on the Major's past, which has never really been the point of the series, not even 2nd Gig focused that much on it beyond connection her to the Individual 11 guy.

Honestly ididn't even like when they did that in the anime version. The original Manga all Shirow tells you about her is she is a Cyborg and her name is Motoko Kusanagi , and it's implied even that maybe an alias. There is a mystery to her character it's not all spelled out for you and that's just fine. Here they seem to be going with some bullshit lol amnesia/stolen memory story line.

That coupled with the bullshit slowmo wall running
>>
>>149811462

Only thing is, Al is fucking huge, easily 7 feet or so considering he's as tall as Armstrong (if not taller, been a while since I've seen anything with them side-by-side). So not only would they have to get a taller motherfucker (and in Japan, that's a needle in a fucking barn full of hay), they'd probably have to redo the armor in a way that would be easy for the actor to move in, but still carry that sent of weight Alphonse had despite being literally empty inside.

Eh, SAC only made it the focus in 2nd Gig, and only for a few episodes. While they did reveal how she became a cyborg, they were smart enough to leave the in-between open to anyone's guess. We know Batou harassed her about changing appearances, suggesting Motoko has had many aliases throughout her life.

But yea, the movie feels like it's going for the "They stole and hid your life from you!" and then it'll be the Major going after Section 9/whoever her handlers are, and then probably some cliché ending of "I'm a ghost. I don't have a name anymore."

As for the slow-mo, that's not really a bad thing, so long as it's not done for every single action scene. It is neat that they're being somewhat faithful in the visuals, though that could easily backfire and just feel lazy and uninspired.

You guys forgot 1 major thing:
This movie is based off an anime. Granted, they are German, but still, you're asking more than you should. Don't get me wrong, I was a bit annoyed when the Flash got the West family turned black but I got use to it. You can't really complain, even as a fan, you have no part on this over than getting a movie ticket and watching it.

Here's the real questions:
1. is it going to be 100% Japanese?
2. Are they going to do a new story line? I say no, because it's Japanese and they know how to (for the most part) stay to the original.
3. Will the dubbed be the original VAs or completely different people and/or people that sound similar? Or are we looking at Megaman dubbing?

before you guys get your pitch forks and fire to this movie, lets see more trailers. You know there will be by January. So we can't get mad YET. For all we know there will be some style changes. We know Roy will be in it, so lets see how that turns out. MOST of the people from the anime will be in it, that's a given.

Do we get to see Shou fuck up his dog and daughter? Or maybe a "flash back" or something

Remember that 80's Cyberpunk was inspired by Japan's rapid growth, and extrapolating that Japan would culturally dominate the planet if they kept it up.

That didn't happen in real life of course. Japan's economy hit a wall. But the Cyberpunk stories just assume that everyone want to be Japanese.

Goddammit Japan. The story's set in Europe, not Japan. Why is it apparently all Japanese actors/actresses? They weren't stupid enough to cast Caucasians in Letters from Iwo Jima.

The Full Metal Alchemist movie is trying to be in the same universe as the original.

Death Note is a completely different setting. They're not trying to pretend their in Japan. It's literally set in America as a retelling. I don't see how Light being black is somehow a real issue for such a big change. You might as well complain that everyone else is a white person.

Why do these threads always have someone asking "why dont they hiring white people?"

It's so obvious why they don't and requires a little bit of thinking to figure out why. I'm convinced it's shit posting after all the AoT threads we've had.

no it's because it's stupid in the case of edward. If they can make an entire movie costing a large amount and not even hire one person who fits the bloody role then then they're doing a worse bloody job then american films that do just that, if hollywood films need a non-white person as a lead they just do that.

Nothing. I've never really cared about race in regards to fictional characters in movies. I'm just trying to argue from the perspective of someone who cares about the exact ethnicity of the actor.

In my personal opinion it seems incredibly stupid that people care that much that a fictional character is portrayed by a race that wasn't the exact one they were written as.

Or it could just be the fact that black people make up 13% of the US population.

I really don't see how having a single major black character in a movie is somehow worshiping the black man.

But america has much more diversity in terms of race, it isn't hard to find an asian actor that lives in america if you're directing in hollywood.
But In Japan? I doubt they have many white actors, if they have any at all.
>>
>>149816024
At least Japan has the excuse of having one ethnic group only and being proudly racist. Meanwhile murrica has all the ethnicities of the world on its land and Hollywood never shut up about muh diversity but lead roles are still a white only thing.

I have to admit, there are some things that can be only done in movies. There are subtleties that just can't be replicated with a pen and a pencil. You can emulate shit all you want, but if you don't make use of the advantages, you'd get a dry movie, a shitty B-movie.

Its going to be shit. Even if they cg/special effects were good and they never are with japanese live action anime movies, japanese actors are fucking terrible. They do overdramtic soap opera acting 24/7. The only reason ghost in the shell is going to be good is because japan had no fucking hand in making it.

They do make good anime though

Was it ever confirmed tho? I remember L said to Raito he gets to know shit about his nationality. And creators themselves admitted thay aren't sure and consider him half british, half italian, half nipponese and half whatnot.

Also here's the perfect fit for this role

Cool special effects. Awful wig though

They're just using the basic premise of the story and he's a legit good actor.

You fags say as if this is the first time they do this.
They did the same with Attack on Titan and Thermae Romae. LotGH was a play in Takarazuka.

Hollywood does the same whenever anime gets a film adaptation. Remember the script for Akira (which thankfully went nowhere)? See what's going on with GitS? That Death Note Netflix series?
