would Ghost in the Shell have been better if they had casted an Asian actress in the leading role?
>>81202951
No. Having a competent director on the other hand
NOBODY CARES
Yes, also having a competent director would have helped.
>>81202951
No Asian American women can act
has brenda shown her most intimate bits bare?
>>81202951
does she do facesitting femdom? asking for a friend
>>81203060
She showed me once.
>>81203070
Wow, that compelling argument really convinced me.
>>81203098
wow can you describe your experience?
>>81202951
Hasn't even the director of the original movie come out and said that it's not important at all.
>>81202951
>cast asian woman
>still no one knows what GITS is
>the ads still suck
>it bombs
probably even worse with a no name asian actress
With that terrible script? Nope.
Change the cast and whoever wrote that malarkey.
>>81203200
a) he got paid for that line
b) he doesn't give a shit because it's not his movie
maybe both. it's not like he has any stake in the game because he made his already.
>>81202951
only if she has hips

It would have done better if they cast just about anyone else in the leading role. My ticket was covered so I didn't have to waste a dime on the garbage, but I was expecting to have some laughs and have something to shit on with my friends. I was having a good time until Kusanagi got captured, Kuze's identity and motivations were revealed and I got to see Michael Pitt give a real goddamn performance with physical presence and a nuanced perspective. Seeing what he was able to put together compared to the frumpy jewess who couldn't pull off dialogue if her life depended on it ruined my night completely. I wish I hadn't seen it at all.

>Casting an Asian to play a white character
>>81203339
MUUUUUUUH
>>81203269
That would be fine since I didn't want a live action version in the first place.
>>81203297
>it's not like he has any stake in the game
But your first point contradicts that.
Also, he still stands to receive profits from the original film because of the potential renewed interest in the property.
>>81202951
It might have been better, but it also would've flopped.
Noone but anime fans and a few devoted sci-fi buffs know the series well enough to go in for a movie on its name alone, so they had to have a big-name star draw to attract.

I meant if he got paid up front to say it then he doesn't need to do anything further. I really doubt he would be given points on the 2017 movie for his little blurb. Having something new come out for the 1995 film isn't going to happen since they did the 25th anniversary a few years back.
>>81202951
London, no! Put my childhood back on!
>>81203567
they gambled on having big name versus having word of mouth from fans. i doubt either would have panned out successfully.
"bruh it's got scarjo"
"bruh its fucking ghost in the shell you have to see this shit"
No, but it would have been a lotcuter! Cute!
>Ghost in the Shell is pretty much just animated philosophy with a little action here and there
>make a live-action of it and remove the philosophy
Hmmm

THIS
When Larry and Andy Wachowski were pitching The Matrix to their producers, they played them a DVD of an 82-minute Japanese cartoon and said: "We wanna do that for real."
>>81202951
it would have been better if it wasnt a remake
>>81203339
It would have been better if they just never made it
>>81203339
brehs...
>>81202951
>>81203118
No. They dumbed it down to basically make Robocop with a female lead. They ruined it in the writing already.
>>81202951
It probably would have done better with any other actress than Johanson. Her "I'm acting" face in the trailers was a huge turn off.
And people still ask why there's no Black Widow movie
>>81203339
wew gentlemen
>>81203339
