>After vanishing in its opening weekend at the domestic box office to $18.6 million, film finance sources tell Deadline that Paramount/DreamWorks-Reliance’s Ghost In The Shell stands to lose at least $60M, and that’s based off a global B.O. projection of $200M ($50M domestic, $150M international) and combined P&A/production costs of $250M.

> Some sources even assert that the production cost for Ghost is far north of $110M and more in the $180M range — if that’s the case, Ghost is bleeding in excess of $100M.

>Through yesterday, the film has only collected $62M at the worldwide B.O.

>The bombing of Ghost In The Shell arrives at an awful time for Paramount in the wake of its $1 billion slate financing deal with Shanghai Film Group and Huahua Media going south, coupled with the fact that most of the studio’s 2016 slate outside of Arrival and Fences has tanked. Ghost was originally part of the Shanghai/Huahua deal, with both companies supposedly vested in director Rupert Sanders’ movie alongside DreamWorks and Paramount; each studio maintained 30% exposure.
>While DreamWorks reportedly stands to lose as much as $20M, Paramount could incur a bigger black eye sans the Chinese funds. Paramount provided no comment.

Maybe next time we don't hire Rupert Sanders to direct our big budget adaption?

Should I be annoyed that doesn't say, 'I am the Major'?
Don't know a whole lot about the series or anything, but Engrish irks me unless they're actually foreigners. Titles are not used as such unless the name follows.
Like saying 'I am Doctor.' rather than 'I am doctor Bob.' or 'I am the doctor.'
Or is that how she's supposed to be referred to as for some reason?

No director is good enough to turn an episodic psychological thriller into a decent feature length adaptation.

It's just going to be a mediocre action movie but instead of a gun the protagonist kills people with a book.

I don't know, death note is better off without it's second half anyways. And it most definitely wasn't episodic. I do think I would prefer a 4 part mini series over a movie to better develope Light's character, though. But I have a lot higher hopes for death note than I ever did for gits.

even if they follow the source material and use asian as major, it will still bomb.
hollywood audience are people who think ex machina is """deep""" and they feel cool for liking it. even after being dumbed down, people still think and said that gits is a """weird"" movie. without dumbing it down, nobody will watch it.
using sj as major doesnt make the movie fail, hell most people who watch it probably did just to see her in the fucking spandex....

Are you talking about how they tried doing a gundam adaptation in the 80s. They changed a tonne of stuff though. Like the Zakus are all controlled by a computer instead of it being a traditional war story. I think the script got leaked somewhere.

The "hollywood audience", the audience hollywood tries to make money off of, doesn't like ex machina. Ex machina grossed about 36 mil worldwide. It was low budget so that's probably a decent profit, but that's not the audience any big budget movie is trying to win over. Get your stereotypes right.

And ex machina was excellent, fuck you.

Why GiTS though? I still don't get it. I mean, DBZ Kai could at least bank of the absurd popularity of DBZ, and Edge of Tomorrow went the opposite route and completely abandoned all Japaneseness to try to be as standalone as possible. GiTS just isn't THAT big a franchise, it's a weird sci-fi thing that a bunch of neckbeards like who enjoy discussing transhumanism while jerking off to the major's ass, the brand doesn't have nearly the power to get enough butts in seats on name alone.

Why do faggots insist on the whitewashing instead of just saying that Scarlet did a bad/good job?

Sunrise would probably demand an arm and a leg from the gaijin for a license to make a Gundam movie.

Grandpa Tomino would tell them to get off his lawn. I'm sure he would disapprove since they would end up making it a war-glorifying action movie pandering to Western values--American's WAR IS GOOD versus Japan's WAR IS BAD.

Honestly, you can humanize them, as long as you portray things and ideas that are wrong as wrong.

I mean, Zeon are about a family that perverted the idea of a famous man that talked about space being the future for humanity, because spacenoids started to develop new innate skills. And used that to create the idea of spacenoid supremacy with them as all mighty rulers.

On the other hand, Earth wasn't a good place eithr, military's main vehicles being children of bribes and corruption, betrayals and ignoring one's duties.

years ago i heard really good advice for movies, never treat your audience like they're unintelligent and they'll respect you for it. the director choose to dumb down the movie on purpose to try and make it more palatable to what he thinks the western audience wants and he paid for it with the movie flopping. if he wanted to do this he shouldn't have attached his cyberpunk movie to an established franchise so people wouldn't have been able to so easily realize the director was being condescending towards the audience.

Hollywood Gundam movie is in the works and Tomino personally involed in it (or at very least there is some hollywood project that Tomino involved with). That said, like majority of such projects it might never end up being made.

>>155519370
If they wanted to make it sound glitchy to match the whole cyberpunk aesthetic they could just add abrupt cuts and fake some quality degradation. Though doing that right actually requires some musical sense instead of shitting wubs all over the top of a good track.

Remember to always at least double the budget to include the marketing and other expenses in the sum, there's also the case of Hollywood being afraid of losses in the domestic market.

EoT did 100M$ domestic, and that's around half the production cost (meaning around a quarter of all costs), even if it eventually made money in the foreign markets that's not enough for the execs.

The author should swallow razor wire until it comes out their ass and then floss themselves to death.

Still,
>Cowboy Bebop
Could actually work. Episodic nature means it could have a story arc that easily fits into a 2-hour runtime. Plenty of western appeal as it is basically a Western in space and the jazz soundtrack is easily acceptable to 'Murricans.
>Serial Experiments Lain
Nah. Hollywood would try too hard to dumb it down for western audiences and they'd still be confused.
Or they'd try to edgy it up, but not beyond PG-13 because they need that tween dosh coming in.
>R.O.D. the TV
The OVA would work better.
>GITS:SAC
Expanding GITS to series length allowed for more development of the world and characters, which is what makes it good. Compressing it into a movie would give you what we got with ScarJo. Or Solid State Society. Which was almost as bad.
>Voices of a Distant Star
Tween romance movies are already vomit-inducing. Making one with a sci-fi twist sure didn't help that one with the kid from Mars that came out recently. Can't remember what it was called and don't give a fuck enough to look it up.
>Millenium Actress
Just about any of Kon's oeuvre would potentially work as they're already designed to fit a cinematic scope. Which just goes to show how pointless it is to try unless you do it with a twist as Aranofsky did with Black Swan and Perfect Blue.
Tokyo Godfathers would actually be his best movie to do since it's easily his most grounded. Obviously it would be transplanted to an American city.
>Gungrave
Edgy, stupid, cowboy violence. Perfect fit for American idiots.
>Eva
See pic.
In all seriousness, it wouldn't work. There's no audience for it. Adults don't want to watch a bunch of teenagers deal with teenage issues and neither do teenagers. They'd just want mindless action, which we got from the Rebuild movies, which just go to show how terrible Eva is when condensed to a cinematic runtime.

I'm sorry but movies like The Thing, Predator Scarface etc. ARE art despite being action/horror movies.
This is a big problem of the new hollywood, they want to make an action movie and think they can do it by putting no effort into it because "it's just an action movie" and people only care about CGI.

I enjoyed the parts with the robots but the movie is bad.
All around, after having watched Crimson Peak as well, Guillermo del Toro is a big delusion, he can't write a good movie to save his life and I'm very conflicted whether I want him to make At the Mountains of Madness or not.

Honestly I didn't think GITS was actually that bad. It was basically a middle of the road blockbuster movie and easily better than most of the Marvel shit critics go crazy over.

It's interesting though to speculate why it flopped so hard. I think it's a combination of underwhelming trailers along with incredibly harsh negative critical reception largely spurned on by the Whitewashing shit.

Even Mark Kermode who notoriously hates basically most Blockbusters gave Ghost in the Shell a "It's actually pretty alright, It's way better than the trainwreck I thought it was going to be"

Personally, I would give GITS like a 5/10.

For reference, like Most marvel movies would get like a 3/10, something like Fury Road or Old Boy a 9/10.

> Some sources even assert that the production cost for Ghost is far north of $110M and more in the $180M range — if that’s the case, Ghost is bleeding in excess of $100M.

THEY CHANGED ALOT OF STUFF from when I saw it in a test screening. The most glaring change was the story. The version I saw focused more on the philosophical questions being presented. There was more of a focus (and it was explained better) on the PERMISSION an individual had to give before anyone could access their brain. IT HIT ALOT HARDER in the end when the Dr tells Major that THEY NEVER NEEDED HER PERMISSION. That was altered, and I felt like that scene didnt really mean anything in the theatrical cut. The theatrical version was more about the Major's backstory and her finding out who she was. In the version I saw, that stuff was backseat to the philosophical questions. Yes, she goes to visit her mother, but the ending scenes of her visiting the grave and then telling her mother she didnt have to visit there anymore were tacked on. In fact, in the version I saw she didnt even tell the woman she was her daughter. I can go on and on with the changes guys, but here are a couple of the bigger ones:

The Major's swimming underwater scene was longer (ALOT of the "atmospheric" scenese like this were made shorter.

The interrogation scene was longer, and ALOT better.

She didnt have a FULL BRAIN. In the version I saw, Major only had a partial piece of her brain, further exploring the question "at what point do you stop being human?"

That prostitute/lesbian scene. The version I saw had her interacting with that lady earlier, and it made more sense when she hooked up with her later. IN THE THEATRICAL VERSION, they made it seem like Major just went out and got a hooker to bang...

GAers in attendance didnt understand the film as I saw it at all, so they made cuts to simplify it.

Original ending was kuze and motoko did some sort of digital mind mend as he wanted to live on her memory. All of this was told visually though as the sequence played out a lot like the shelling bit in the beginning but with two minds becoming a new person. Batou comes in after and helps carry motoko away questioning if she's the same or this new person.

So, they did try to make something. Would be good if they had the scene where Major meets Bato again and he's kinda puzzled what to call her.

What's there to not understand.
We have future, most of humanity lives in space colonies, mostly around Earth.

Then, a few generations later, space colony humans develop a telepathy of sorts, as well as better adaptation for living in places that require you to move in all directions.

Then the speech of a famous man, I forgot his name, about a new type of humans being the future of humanity is perverted and used to gain power by the family that became Zeon's rulers.

And one of the reasons they got the power was that space colonies were considered a part of Earth Federation, that was full of corruption and they wanted independence.

Space people turned their construction mechs into combat mechs, then they went to war with colonies that supported Federation and invaded Earth itself.

Earth had its troubles with being efficient at anything, but they still had more resources, better tech and enough professionals to recover.

You don't even have to introduce what the newtype telepathy is yet in 0079, just make says that with people being that far apart, their empathy for others has increased, since that's exactly what ealier telepathy is.

Or do adaptation of Ecole du Ciel, since we have a daughter of a Zeon officer in a Fed pilot school and introduce the whole NewType thing through her.

I avoided everything about this movie I could but I saw one brief preview while I was at a theatre for a different movie

It was confusing and strange looking, and not in a way that compels you. Scarjo also looked really awkward in that skintight suit. If this was how the movie was advertised I'm not surprised no one went to see it.

Not necessarily. If they cut the french kissing part, and don't show any tits or asses, it could still be legal. It would be more boring than the original though

I know, I was just conisdering the source material.
Death Note is a supernatural thriller, and admittedly a pretty okay one too until time skip. Much more sensible material for adaptation than fucking SAO of all things.

Chat is actually Casval Daikun, the son of Zeon Daikun who was murdered by the Zabis. The Zabis take control of Zeon for their own ends (dictatorship) and Casval vows revenge. When Casval grows up he fakes his death at the hands of Zeon and steals the identity of Char Aznable. He then joins the Zeon military and aims to rise through the ranks in a plan to bring down the entire Zabi family and kill them. Specifically he wants them to die after they have been betrayed by him.

His sister lives under the assumed identity of Sayla Mass, she survives the war.

>“You’ve got a movie that is very important to the fanboys since it’s based on a Japanese anime movie,” Davies added. “So you’re always trying to thread that needle between honoring the source material and make a movie for a mass audience. That’s challenging, but clearly the reviews didn’t help.”

Oh, yeah, go on and tell me how people watched the original movie because it was clearly a product for a mass audience. Wait, you're telling me it wasn't? Geez, I can't really see how you're adaptation of it aimed at a mass audience could ever be received poorly.

GITS...?
I mean, would you take monty python, mangle the story, add in generic dubstep remixes of the original soundtrack, and change the lead to Keanu Reeves, and hope it does well with the masses?

Exactly. No one cares about the exact actor who plays things, of course you'll never match anime/manga looks IRL. In fact it's probably best to choose someone pretty different looking precisely to avoid Uncanny Valley comparisons, since major differences and less perfection is perfectly inevitable the smart move is to embrace that and make something that stands alone.

But the actual spirit and motivation behind the characters should absolutely still shine through. Hollywood seems to have a real problem with that in general. Not always which makes it all the worse, sometimes they get an adaption right. But often, and to ones where it's not just some action thing but psychology is the whole fucking point. L and Light both had reasonable motivations and arguable points taken to an extreme, both were massively smart and could justify themselves and play off each other, and the mind games and emergent interplay and plans was the whole deal. Seeing where someone would slide off the deepend or not and all that. This looks to blow all that.

There's literally almost nothing in common with the original except there's a notebook that can kill people. There's basically no reason to believe it's going to incorporate any of the elements of the original save for the name and the macguffin.

>Asuka was black.
Don't even joke about that.

>>155526186
>The issue isn't that L is black,
No, that is the issue. When you're making an adaptation, you cast someone who looks like the character you're adapting. The only possible reason to cast a black person is to virtue signal about how diverse you're being, instead of picking someone actually suited to the rule. You could be the best black actor in the world, but you shouldn't be cast as a light-skinned character. It's fucking idiotic. People are not interchangeable.
>>
>>155524638
>So you’re always trying to thread that needle between honoring the source material and make a movie for a mass audience
So by trying to appeal to both audiences they appealed to none. Why are they surprised?
And if you're not sticking to the source material then why the fuck make an adaptation in the first place?
>>
>>155526387
The setting is american, it's completely reasonable for a character to be black.
Was it done because of 'we need to fill a diversity quota'?. Most likely yeah, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it considering the change of a setting.
What they're doing though is changing the character on a more fundamental level than just ethnicity.

Obviously they can't get someone who looks exactly like L, and I wouldn't mind if he had a passing resemblance-but holy shit, stormfront or not, it seems very fucking weird to do that when there are bound to be actors better suited to that role who could at least be passable.

>>155526481

Depends on what you're changing.

Someone playing MLK Jr. should be black because he's representing a black guy, seen as the leader of other blacks, and has experienced Jim Crow firsthand. His race is integral to the story.

In other words, a completely trivial issue that can be disregarded.

>>155526656

No, I expect people to actually attempt to cast actors that look the part that they are being cast for. This is not too much to ask. 1:1 is not the same as "in the ballpark". Casting a person named Light who is extremely pale in the source material as a black person is not in the same ballpark. Casting Light as a dark person is fucking retarded and nothing more than a shallow political move. The adaptation would be better if the actors looked more like the characters they're supposed to represent.

ScarJo is a proud Jewish American- a minority globally, and in each country. Calling her white, and wanting an asian to play her, is the opposite of """whitewashing""" - it is diversifying a racist yallo-gaze IP filled to the brim with anti-Semitic rhetoric.

The Japanese were allied with Hitler, you know, that little thing called the holocaust? Saying ScarJo shouldn't be able to take back a role that the Japanese helped in destroying (that of Proud Jewish Ancestory) is RACIST. Did you know the movie also features proud POC (people of color, for you alt-right shitlords) who are still to this day heavily discriminated against in asian countries, particularly your glorious pedophilic Japan?

The movie diversified what would have instead been a systematically majority-race movie (asians being the global majority). Disliking it means you are probably a rural retard, who I bet even voted for Drumph lul :p

This adaptation is a fucking mess really. I dont like bLack, but I hate it more because the guy barely looks like the L we know and love. L works because hes the antithesis of Kira. Not only in ideology, but also in appearance.
Now look what happens. Light Turner is a school shooter looking maniac, and L is a Watch Dog looking superhero wannabe. Its like some parts of their characters are switched up and for no good reason at all.

That being said, if we had to go with a black L, here is my choice for the most crazy genius looking nigger actor around. jaden Smith. Dude's a lightskin, so if you want to go for that pale look, he can pull it off. You wont take him seriously 75% of the time, but once you does, its the most L like black guy you can have

It probably did fail because of that.

Rightly so, really. When you have a Japanese member of a Japanese police force living in Japan based on Japanese character from Japanese media, and you cast them as a white woman, it just annihilates the audience's suspension of disbelief. It looks and feels absolutely ridiculous. It's not a moral crusader issue, it's an issue of it making no narrative sense - or, almost as bad, it comes off as having to jump through hoops to make sense.

People can put two and two together. The world feels less and less immersive when the characters don't fit in visually, and the film has to constantly remind you of why you should be ignoring that. Even if the story goes out of its way to point out that it's Japanese character n a western body - especially because of that, actually - it still makes the experience feel artificial and contrived. There are major plot points that only exist to justify this Japanese character being white, and... well, that comes off as insincere. It makes the whole experience feel ridiculous.

and yet it was defended by some snowflakes:
>It has a wierd name that normies don't like or understand
It was misntranslated and added names in many countries like: Future Vigilante, what if they tweak the name? It should help it.
>ScarJo shouldn't have been cast as the Major, I have no problem with her being white but she's not right for the part and is past her prime and while still looking great doesn't have the body to pull of a skin-tight body suit anymore. I'm not saying she doesn't look good, but she can't pull off machine designed perfection which is what the Major's artificial body is
Oh hush /a/non, she's a cyborg, its immaterial what kind of body she wears, it its nothing but liberating
>They changed the plot and some names, offending the anime audience and puritans
The directorits trying to convey his own vision, and Oshii's supporting the project! You weebs are just jaelous that your little secret is getting adapted for primetime
>The non-anime audience didn't know what the film was except it was based on some cartoon from twenty years ago
We live in a time of geek-is-cool man! get it with the times!! supahheros are kinda passé, chinese cartoons are the new hotness!
>The first two trailers were fucking TERRIBLE and roundly ridiculed on the internet
Those smelly basementdwellers cant understand modern media, all they know are dem cartoons, we'll show'em the way its done in the real world! no biggie

And I'd like to ask: where are you motherfuckers now HUH? Where is Oshii now to "back it up"?

Turns out that we knew our medium better than them. big. surprise.

They would turn Lain intoi a Youtubber or a dank meme to explain her popularity in the wired.
Thanks but no thanks.

With GITS they got a huge stepback on anime adaptations, for better or worse
