Yeah sure

>>156290127

You're kidding, right?

We don't even need Hollywood for it anymore. Hope you like Netflix Death Note with chimpan-L. I will. I won't watch it but anything bad happening to Death Note is ok with me.

>>>/tv/

>>156290127
It failed because they refused to go either way once again.

Either make it true to the source and go for the niche/cult and expand from there.

Or just completely fucking rewrite it to make something appealing to normies, at which point why even pay for the rights, just make something that rips it off.

If they continue to try and play both sides with these things they will fail.

lol if you think this will stop these cunts from adapting foreign iP's you're dead wrong.
Next up is Death Note. Then probably full metal alchemist. And then wonder why nobody watches hollywood movies anymore.

Only racists see race everywhere. This is the funniest part about the people crying about whitewashing.

Pretty much. This shit was so forced in.

Why is /a/ still talking about this?
All of this had already been said two weeks ago.

Not that I care but
>whitewash boogieman
Funny.
Glad it flopped though.

>>156290127
There are too many Japanese franchises with some potential for a few failures to completely deter Hollywood. Not to mention, a fair number of other adaptions are already in the pipeline.

Sort of Hollywood stumbling upon a smash hit, the message will come through eventually that the Western markets aren't interested in these franchises, and the Eastern markets often won't be enough to save a film.

Can't wait for till Hollywood adapts FMA and Cowboy Bebop.

>>156290127
Fuck off and kill yourself.

Reminder to sage and report.

>>156291790
It might have fallen apart, but HBO's Monster probably would have been a fantastic adaption had it gone through.

>>156290985
This, and they're going to wise up to it very soon. They can't please the niche audience and draw in the normalfags at the same time, and the normalfags are more important than the niche audience. Look at Resident Evil. There'll be more live action Hollywood adaptations of anime, because Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and will use anything it can these days, and they'll be even worse.

>at which point why even pay for the rights, just make something that rips it off
Free marketing and nostalgia pandering for the entry levels. Imagine a Cowboy Bebop film. You'll have some fans hyped as fuck advertising it for free, some fans bitching about it advertising it for free, and hordes of people who'll check it out because they think they saw an episode once or because they heard someone say it was good ten years ago. If they made a film called Scoundrel Sockhop about Point Piegel and his friends Rhino, Bea Sexgood, and the trans computer genius Elle dealing with Point's dark past and confronting his old ally Ruthless it'd generate some buzz for a week and then no-one would give a fuck.

>>156291711
FMA in particular seems like a particularly ill fated film if it ever were to go through. I can understand why a studio might have thought there would be appeal for Ghost in the Shell or Death Note in the West, but I can't understand why anyone would think FMA could work as a film in the West.

>>156290127
Doesn't James Cameron have an adaptation of Battle Angel Alita in the works?

>>156291901

Are you saying I'm not going to get American Akira?

https://youtu.be/jafd97yJFOI

>>156292275
I don't think Akira will work even with good director. One movie is not enough. This is biggest problem for adaptations I think.

But anon, they already did one movie.

>>156290127
Hollywood will continue to make live action adaptations of anime because there's a strong demand for modern adaptations of classics like Ghost in the Shell, Dragonball, Akira, and Evangelion.

Nips don't care who portrays the Major because they see her as a ridiculous anime character. Only Western hardcore anime fans who unironically think Cowboy Bebop, GiTS, and Akira were masterpieces got up and arms over casting. These are the same idiots who shoehorn Rinko what's her name from Pacific Rim or some slightly attractive looking Asian into live action anime roles without thinking twice. Hollywood's main mistake is not making tit-cow Christina Hendricks the Major and instead choosing Scarlet Johansen because she played Black Widow in the Marvel Movies. They also made the mistake at not making Batou the main character because let's face it, people can relate to him more than the Major.

>>156292644
>strong demand
Are you really sure about that?

>>156292602
Read original manga. Akira never was recognized as good adaptation. It has different merits

It flopped becuase they America can't adapt manga to save their life
Not becuase some were white or black in an Asian country you daft cunts.

Just give me a live action series of movies adapting Code Geass already.

>>156292795
How good CG in modern action TV shows?

>>156292757
Yeah I know, but I'm sure a Western adaptation would be based on the existing film adaptation, not the manga.

>>156292162
HBO passed on it back in 2015

>>156292950
I remember hearing something about Yukikaze adaptation with Tom Cruise. Seems like he really likes that stuff. Genocidal Organ fits perfectly for Hollywood adaptation too

>>156292757

Ya Akira is a weird beast, it's a great movie but a horrible adaptation of the Akira property.

>>156292720
The only strong demand there is would be Hollywood's strong demand for IPs to adapt and the delusion that if they just figure out how to get it right they could be swimming in money from adapting the wealth of Japanese IPs that could lend themselves to an adaption.

>>156292644
>Evangelion
The last fucking thing we ever need is a live adaptation of Evangelion made by Hollywood

If Anno wants to try and do it in his upcoming Godzilla adaptions, then that's his business since he's the creator, but Hollywood needs to stay far the fuck away

I'd love to see a Hollywood adaptation of The Promised Neverland. At least they wont get blamed for whitewashing that.

>>156292720
Yes I'm sure about that. Look closely at what's being made and what's making the most money: It's long running franchises like Dragonball, Digimon Adventure, JoJo, GiTS. It's shit being made in the 80-90s with Doraemon and Osomatsu-kun are also examples, except way older.

>>156291901
If there is still interest in the project by the team who pitched it to HBO, it could be a worthy adaption for any of the companies trying to break into the Japanese market while creating something that could get interest in the West. Although it's doubtful any of those companies would do nearly as well of a job as HBO would have done.

>>156291318
Funny thing is that japs themselves didn't give a fuck about the Major being white

>>156293380
The only group of people who can reasonably fill the demand for the series outside of Hollywood are passionate fans. Unfortunately fans suck. Like Spanish Dragonball fans tend to capture the art style of the series well, but mess up on the plot by making it complicated and over detailed.

Naruto and Bleach fans tend to fill their works with obsessive melodrama, with exception to the surprising amount of pure Naru-Hina art coming from guro artists after Naruto ended.

>>156290127
I personally think the whitewash was a pretty good idea and it had potential to be used in a smart way.
The movie flopped because it was boring. It had no tension.

>>156293467

On the bright side instead of high budget extravaganzas Hollywood may change their strategy and instead adapting something smaller in scope but still popular, like K-On.

>>156294920
There are some properties (Urasawa's stuff for example) that could be properly adapted into a Western live action TV series.

A Hollywood film adaption of pretty much anything anime or manga related seems like a horrible idea though, or at the very least such a film that were successful and worth watching wouldn't resemble their source material.

hnnnnnnng

>>156291312

The thing is that something like deathnote could be done well, although I would change up Ryuk and the other shinigami quite a bit and possibly remove them entirely.

Not sure how you could make an FMA live action that was up to the standards of anyone but the nips. Despite the wide appeal and near-universal acclaim I think it would fall flat. Ed as a character would be an autistic sperg instead of a genius with a hair trigger. The homunculi would be difficult to do (what, is Greed going to look like The Thing?). Some character types just won't translate, and some of the content just would be weird. Choreograph a fight between Scar and 15 year old Ed and have it not look retarded? Good luck.

>>156295886

Akira has had multiple false starts, and will probably be shelved again after the GitS flop

>>156295886

>>156296043

1500 words, and about 10 of them is questioning the quality of the movie.

While there is a moral debate that can be had about the Whitewashing (and it has been long played out for months), it's not a primary reason the film failed unless one believes that using a less well known Asian actress with a similar script would have bridged the significant budget shortfall.

>>156292644
Scarlet Johansen is fucking boring anyway. If I wanted to see her confused retard face, I'd watch any of the other movies she puts it in. There's no emotion to her and when she tries it's pure cringe.

How's that Tiger & Bunny live action going?

There were so many weird decisions. First, calling Motoko "Major" as some name, not reflective of tank was bizarre - while pushing her as the first cyborg with a cyber brain. What ? Motoko and Section 9 are all oldish veterans of WWIV if I can recall - everyone in the movie was so lame by comparison.

They removed everything unique about GiTs and made it homgeous with generic western sci Fi with cyborg protags. They should have remade the first movie frame by frame lmao. How the film starts with the title drop, "I guess you can call it a ghost in a shell" which is cringe worthy as fuck. There was no care or subtlety put into this turd.

It was good, and well received by critics (both weeb and otherwise), but it did just moderately at the box office.

Not to mention it was a very loose adaptation of the novel, while GiTS tried too hard to carbon copy the original film onto the new live action version.

Always blaming the white.

Even if the reason is shit, as always, I'm glad that flopped.

This movie much like Aeon Flux suffered because the ones adapting it had no real understanding of it's source material. Lets see if Battle Angel succeeds in that respect.

Was not so bad.

>Blame Whitewashing
>Character is literally Whitewashed in the movie's own cannon

POETRY!

Anyway Whitewashing of The Major aside this movie had a lot of probems. One thing Scarjo should never have been cast for The Major. She is wrong for the role in many ways besides simple Whitewashing.

Oh and before anyone decides to chime in with
>hurrrr she's a Jew

Shut the fuck up! See what execs don't seem to realize is that putting a big name in an established character isn't always a good thing. Sometimes it works, (Patrick Stewart as Prof X for example) most times it doesn't though.

See with a less established actor ( or even better an unknown) can embody the live action version of that character more than an established one can. So instead of seeing The Major in live action on the big screen, you just see Scarjo as a cyborg.

The flipside, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine worked because not only did he play the role well and for the most part embody what the character was about, he was'nt well known at that time and many hadn't heard of him before that role.

Of the many problems with this movie that was one of the biggest.

>Hollywood will continue to make live action adaptations of anime because there's a strong demand for modern adaptations of classics like Ghost in the Shell, Dragonball, Akira, and Evangelion.

Let's be realistic here. Hollywood will continue to make live action adaptations of anime because capeshit is making money hand-over-fist. Now all the good comic-book properties are either sewn-up or ridiculously expensive.

So everybody is looking for the next capeshit-equivalent, and the rights for anime properties seem relatively cheap in comparison.

apparently still a flop even though it's still a profit. How does that work? It's not like the opportunity cost could have been that expensive.

>>156305407
they have no choice but to rewrite it. None of the source material are mainstream enough for big box office profit. I don't even understand why they are look at LNs and anime for material.

i mean if they do get it right, it's pretty neat. I don't like Tom Cruise because he's in too many movies so it ruins my immersion whenever he stars in one, but Edge of Tomorrow was fun despite initial thoughts.

>>156305311
It could be in worse shape than it is with, but trying to determine the net profit or loss isn't as simple as taking the box office gross and subtracting the production cost. The studio does not get all of the box office gross (the percentage it gets varies greatly by country), and the production budget does not represent all expenses (most noticeably advertising, which alone can be a significant fraction of the production budget).

>>156305904

Production cost doesnt count advertisement, usual math for breaking even is production cost x2.

didn't think of it that way before, then it's pretty much useless even before taking into account inflation and opportunity cost.

It's in part the idea that there is a wealth of IPs in anime, manga, and Japanese novels, which is attractive to Hollywood's interest in finding new developed IPs to exploit. There may also be an element of trying to find franchises that may resonate with their new favorite market (China) as part of the new recent surge of interest in adapting such titles.

Has Hollywood have any kind of creativity left? I don't follow movies, but it seems everything as of late are either sequels, adaptations from literature (sometimes it's the 2nd or 3rd time), or foreign IPs.

>>156306375
Blockbusters these days typically try to be as risk-free these days as possible and needs to appeal to the lowest common denominator to maximize your potential return. Betting $100+ million dollar budgets on risky creative projects with no idea about what the end result will look like is not exactly appealing to studios, and leaving the familiar mold cuts down on your potential audience. Not that it prevents flops as not every "safe" big budget title is going to find audience, but migrating risk does give somewhat better expectations for the end result.

Here's my theory and observation, you are of course free to disagree. There are basically two "groups" or "types" of people here.
1. use whitewashing, racism other -ism as an excuse to cover for the fact that the work is shit. If you try to criticize it for things like the writing etc, that's what they'll shout at you to shut you down.
2. there are people who don't actually care about the work and basically latch on to the new trendy thing to shout about their pet cause. They are not fans of the works, they just use it as a medium to pretend to be fans all along so that they can blog about the "problems" and then when said work is no longer relevant, they'll move on to the next one.
That's basically what I seem to notice when it comes to social media reactions be it from comic books, movies and of course, anime. See those people crying about sexism in anime while quietly ignoring that fujoshi/otomege are a thing and that a lot of hentai manga/doujin are actually drawn by women. Nope, it's just men who are depraved, women don't do that kind of thing. Or of course, Ghostbusters 2016 where anytime you try to talk about bad casting or that the jokes aren't funny, you get the sexist label being thrown at you.

Basically, they don't actually care about the work. Actual criticism requires you to actually know about the work. That's why they go for things like sexism, racism etc because you don't need to be familiar with the work to cry about that. Instead of focusing on the work to criticize, they go the opposite direction by using the work to superficcially rant about their thing.

>>156304355

That's box office, the money entering the cinema's cash register. Studios get a cut from that, the percentage differing from one region to the other and by how long the movie is in theatres. Domestic (US/Canada) is about 50% first few weeks. Foreign (Europe/Oceania) 1/3 (dunno about China, but I heard it's less than that.)

Also, the budget is the production cost, which doesn't include marketing. That means there's another 50-100 million dollar there.

Gross box office was 130M. Non-US was 96M, which makes it 34M US.

Take half from the 34M domestic market (17M) and a third of the 96M foreign (32M), that's 45M$ for a 110M$ PRODUCTION budget. They're under 65M without the marketing costs. This movie is a failure.

China is 25% for standard foreign films going through the quota system, or 43% with a coproduction.

A bunch of media outlets threw a fit when they heard that the Major was cast by a jew, but upon watching the film and realizing they'd been played, they doubled down and claimed that the film's message is somehow even more racist despite how flimsy their objections were.

Moreover, they're (in this case, western "fujos") reclaiming that term for themselves for the sake of said "muh sexism!" Still, at least Japan's learning to ignore them (and hopefully they'll continue to do so) and form their own opinion over which actor they like the best for an adaptation.

Battle Angel Alita is 2018 I think. James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez gives me hope. Cameron is reported to love the source material so I think he'll try to do it justice.

I do have to agree on him being a mediocre normie. his reviews are just classic youtuber behavior to milk likes and comments out of his viewers

not to mention he has next to no knowledge of anime to begin with. if people want to watch a ghost in the shell movie without context they should seriously just do any other glitzy action cyberpunk sci-fi title.

More like one of the Die Hards characters/plot.

why do they not invest all this money to do some bomb animation studio with some original movies?

>>156310444
a friend of mine was saying that, he said that Cameron wanted to test the waters with Avatar to make sure that he could achieve the effects he wanted to do Battle Angel Alita justice

idk how true it is but of all anime movies, I'd give this one the best shot

Fuck I forgot this was "happening".

I assume it's dead now that Topgun 2 is in full swing.

>>156310444

Right, I had forgotten that's already on the way. And apparently it's in post-production now, so I guess it is actually, finally, truly coming.

For some reason I thought Cameron had basically stepped away from it completely, but he has a producer credit.

Here is how this could have been good.
>get some producers behind it who are familiar with the source material maybe even fans of it.
That doesn't automatically mean it will be good but at the very least it inspires more confidence that they'd respect the source material. Should have kept Avi Arad far away from it as possible, soon as i heard of his involvement...i knew.

>Do not hire crappy writers or shitty hack director

Rupert Sanders should not have been directing this thing. There are far more talented directors who are familiar with this work they could have hired.

Alex Garland would have been perfect to write/direct this movie. Hell i would take the fucking Wachowski's over Sanders. They could at least get the look of GITS down and would likely do a better job.

>Do not cast Scarjo as The Major.

Even if you Whitewashed the whole cast and set it in future NY , she would still be all wrong for the part. It's been said already but i would get a less well known actress for the part. Because i don't see The Major when i look at Scarjo, i just see Scarjo playing the Major.

Personally i think Julie Estelle fits the look of the Major mush better and she has done action roles before. Pic related

>Actually make a fucking GITS movie!

Not Robocop with tits, not Bourne Identity. This comes back to the people in charge not understanding GITS. As such they felt the need to dumb it down. It didn't need to be 1.1 to the show, movie or even the manga, so long as it captured the spirit and feel of GITS.

>>156310352
Because if they don't see race then you can't shake them down for gibs. The real racists are the ones who don't hand out free shit and unearned respect to genetic losers.

i dunno why the movie is hated on so much, yeah it wasn't an awesome adaption, but for the most part it was like the animated movie for GitS

>>156291711
there was a cowboy bebop live action in the works but it got dropped

>>156310295
they get heavily taxed for a lot of overseas sales; warcraft is a good example
they didnt make much in the US, but in chinaland they made a fuckton of money- but they still flopped because they wont receive most of the money it made internationally

>>156310295
Their budget to make the film was $110 million, but that doesn't include advertising costs. Additionally the box office revenue is simply how much money was made from selling tickets to the film, but not all of that goes back to the studio.

Fact of the matter is, cyber punk is pretty much dead as a genre. It went the way of steampunk where we've pretty much eclipsed the genre's ideas and ambiance. That blade runner remake will most likely flop too, as with the matrix remake they're planning.

>>156311030
cyberpunk became reality, minus the fantastical technology parts.

the 2016 american presidential election could be a season of ghost in the shell.

>the 2016 american presidential election could be a season of ghost in the shell.
Nah this is the prequel anon, we haven't even gotten to Nuclear WWIII or Non-Nuclear WWIV.

>>156292950
That's because it went 'just completely fucking rewrite it' tier. The manga was completely different in every way but the premise.

>>156292950
It's also not based off an anime. It was based off a novel that barely anyone knew so they don't care about brand power. Also the source material is radically different from the movie.

>>156311030
>That blade runner remake will most likely flop too

It wont, Harrison Ford is too big of an actor. Crystall skull didnt flop, what makes you think blade runner will too? Even fans are pleased with the take on the sequel since the movie follows its own canon.

>>156312270
That didn't save Cowboys & Aliens, which had both Ford and Daniel Craig while still hot off the Bond films.

> Crystall skull
That was what, in 2008. A lot have changed over the years. Oh, and Indiana Jones isn't really good example because it's got star power plus major franchise brand recognition. Blade runner doesn't have quite that level of brand power.

>>156311030
>That blade runner remake will most likely flop too,

Doubt it. Not to mention they have an actual talented director behind it. Cyber Punk ain't dead. This was just a shitty movie. Period

>>156312399
alot more than ghost or hojo did

>>156290127

Even odds they'll do a reboot in 5 years.

We need to bring Uwe Boll out of retirement and get him to poison anime live action adaptations.

My sides
I never care about this flick, I only didn't watch it for Scarlett Jewhannson.
And no, it didn't flop for that meme "whitewashing".

I thought it was a pretty decent movie. The only thing I didnt like was how bland they made the spider tank look.
I saw it in 3D so the visuals were extra nice. It was good for what it was.

If it wasnt for Batou I'd say the message of the movie was white people are basically robots.

>>156310977
The general rule is that the studio takes about 50% of domestic ticket sales and 30% of overseas gross. GITS is still very much a flop.

>>156290985
Exactly. Either commit to a direct remake or commit to doing something completely different. Part of the reason that ScarJo in the Taco Shell felt so genuinely embarrassing to watch was that it was like somebody found the script on Fanfiction.net.

>>156290127

I went into this expecting good visuals and a butchered story.

What I did not expect is some of the most hamfisted dialogue and exposition ever, and Scarlet Johanson's complete and utter inability to act. She's fucking too stiff and robotic to even play a robot.

I guess I should have paid closer attention to her in the Mahvel crap to realize this before, but I never did. How the fuck is she in so many movies when she's this bad? Even her actions scenes are terrible. She doesn't choreograph properly, all she does is strike a pose at the end of a sequence to "look badass"

>It wont, Harrison Ford is too big of an actor

I'd say it won't because Villeneuve is pretty good at directing.

>>156314479
But anon. They never needed her consent.

>>156307702
Wasn't Del Taco rumored to be the director for it?

>>156314567

What the fuck was even the point of the consent shit? I expected there to be some sort of pay-off to that awkwardly shoe-horned in set-up, but nothing. Or did I miss it when I fell asleep?

>>156314617
Allegedly, that was a much bigger plot point before test audiences. I don't really care, either way it's a stupid way to convey the idea that she was really powerless or something then got empowered at the end.

But it doesn't disprove he gives the scores he thinks people want.

>>156306955
There are though. It's just that only Asians care when and Asian is replaced by a black, white people just want diversity to assuage either some own inbuilt guilt or the whining of other people.

Gunsmith Cats is too progun for Hollywood.

I feel bad for Scarlett, Under the Skin and GiTS weren't great, but deserved a lot more credit than given.

I hope she finds success in something big one day.

>>156317234
All those action movies say otherwise. In fact, if there's one property that'll actually work as a western live action, it'll be Gunsmith Cats.

>>156315504
Because Keit-ai didn't find a way.

>>156317398
>guns are used therefore they are progun

Yeah, no. Black Lagoon would work, so would Monster. A GSC Hollywood movie would never be made if it adhered to the original work.

>>156317538
Have you seen this guy called Michael Bay? The guy who famously remarked that the military loves him because he makes them look good in his movies? And you make it sound as though there's never been gun nuts in action movies.

Fact of the matter is, there's always been a disconnect between what the audience finds cool in fiction and what they actually care or think about in real life. That's why they're called movies. You're a fool for thinking something like "too progun for Hollywood".

>>156301591
I think Tiger and Bunny will do OK even if Kotetsu is whitewashed. its basically New Retro Futuristic New York with 5% Japanese themes. Attack on Titan could do good as a western live action. Hell, I'm willing to bet JJBA parts will do good if they are filmed for the audience the location takes place with part 3 being a worldwide project.

Basically anything that doesn't have heavy japanese themes would do good as a live action.

>>156294798
Who?

>>156303997
>She is wrong for the role in many ways besides simple Whitewashing.

That's because "whitewashing" has never been the issue unless you're some anti-white marxist.

>>156290127
did you really have to 'deal with' this in any meaningful way?
if not for this board i would not even know about this movie.

>>156306955
>He doesn't understand the complete hatred against whites and western civilization by leftists, the hijacking of all white institutions and nations by jewish influence.

tl;dr, (((they))) hate white people.

>>156293233
Because the Major's cyborg body was supposed to be a european patern because that's what was popular in japan at the time. It was social commentary about westernization and globalization of japan. Criticizing about "whitewashing" is literally missing the point of the entire work.

>Completely butchered, badly cast adaptation of an anime flops
>"Nobody likes weebshit I guess lol"
Fucking marketers, everyone.
