>Release string of financial flops
>Faced with two options:
>Invest heavily in low-budget high-concept indie films, hoping to strike gold with an original film while your competitors all dick around chasing capeshit money
>Or find something new to blow hundreds of millions on, one film at a time, in the hopes of replicating capeshit success with not-capeshit

The sad thing is that even a competent company probably would've chosen the second option

When their head bitch gets fired (for racism against Obama and not for stinkers like Ghostbusters and the Emoji movie) they headhunt the guy who got fired for incompetence and was responsible for the most successful R-rated movie of all time being held up in pre-production for a decade

The reality is that he thinks after Ghost in the Shell anime is gonna be the new capeshit. He's always hated comic book movies with a passion (hence his abuse of Bryan Fuller) and since Avengers he's been constantly going on about how his job is to find "the next thing after comic book movies"

>>85772028
>affinity the right has with anime
what are you retarded or something?

>>85771824
Think about what you're saying for a second, really think about it.
You're complaining about people complaining about whitewashing in anime adaptations.
You're simultaneously complaining about "forced" diversity in films.

>it's fine to take a Japanese character and make them caucasian, fucking libtards whining about everything

No I don't care if General Armstrong is cast as Ving Rhames.

I just hate how it is FORCED. Resulting in shit actors and shit stories which dont make sense like the japanese/english speaking changing randomly in the GiTs live action movie, it's like they have no idea what they want the movie to be because they're trying too hard.

I would prefer them to actually change the character and movie names and plot to fit the medium of a movie, or else you get shit like the Dragonball Z movie where the hair is riduculous.

First they came for the classic literature, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a man/lit/.

Then they came for the comic books, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a /co/cksucker.

Then they came for the videogames, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a /v/irgin.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

>Rothman was literally why Fox was in the shitter for over a decade

Of course.

>>85772174
Are you collecting your retardbux or are you not diagnosed it yet? You think he's thinking "Surely they'll cast only japs for these!" and thinks that BAD? If they actually did that, I'd be mildly impressed. Except what we'll see is surprise surprise more niggers and gooks.

Not that it fucking matters since it'll all be terminal sarcoma audiovisual cancer with or without a good cast.

>>85772454
>Because I was not a /v/irgin.
Yes you are
Your inauthenticity to /lit/ is proof of just that

>>85771049
Sony bought a distributor though.

That doesn't actually mean they own Cowboy Bebop, right? 150 million doesn't seem like that much for all those IPs.

Or maybe it's because you don't need to make something twice unless it can be made better. It's like adapting an 8 season TV show into a two hour movie.

The human embodiment of failing upwards

How does Sony even have the money for a stick of gum at this point

>>85771049
NO NO NO NO

Most of the stuff /a/ likes is too autistic to ever get adapted, and it could never get a straight adaptation anyway. It would get caught in the hell of trying to be faithful to the original but palatable to a western audience, e.g. Dragonball Evolution. The only way to succeed with a weeb adaptation is to change it to such an extent that nobody even knows it's from weeb source material, like Edge of Tomorrow.
That being said, I do think Fullmetal Alchemist could actually work as a big budget Hollywood movie. You wouldn't have to worry about cries of whitewashing, and non-weebs might be tricked into watching it.

>>85771233
They don't own any of that you clown, its all licensed for English releases.
