Why are they doing this
>>
>>63661564
It's not that I care about the cartoon, it's that now Scarlett johanssan is our generations "action girl"

Why not someone like Biel or Cobie smulders? Or Jaimie Chung or Rinko Kikuchi? Hell, emily blunt

ScarJo is a good actress and if you are mad about a fictional character being cast as a white person may I suggest you fuck off back to tumblr

and I would shit on anyone who got cast as Motoko, but she is an exceptionally bad choice

Jessica Biel would've been a better choice for a white actress.
>>

It's because they think Lucy Lawless is too old even though she would be the best Major.

She's popular, just be grateful it's not Jennifer Lawrence.

this shouldnt be a movie period.sometimes animation is the best way to convey a story,hollywood needs to understand this.
>>
Literally the only time when live action adaptations of animation worked was Jackie Chan's City Hunter
>>
>>63661564

She's the only big-name actress who's convincing (to large normie audiences, idgaf what you personally think) as an action heroine.

It's either have her do an okay job and have her name on your movie, or gamble on a literally who and hope she's amazing enough to make up for being a no name. So people making movies will try to get her if they can.

Apparently it is... Just looking at some of the news, and they just cast Sam Riley to play the Laughing Man. So, I guess we're doing that story line. I was kind of thinking it would be a live action version of the original movie, which I had a slight bit of hope for. This, ehh...

>>63662304
Different anon here. I fucking love GITS, but I couldn't watch Arise. It's been a while, but I can remember the CG being kind of shit. Also it's the main cast's younger selves, which gave them some liberties with the characters, but it all seemed so... haphazard. Like, how you get from that Motoko to the one we know. I don't know, I couldn't get into it.
>>
>>63662125
Idon't see why it's a huge deal. it's not like their plan is to have it take place in Japan and everything about the movie is going to be lifted directly from the source material EXCEPT the lead is going to be white. This is basically going to be Aeon Flux Johansson but hopefully a little better.

They'll set it in neo San Francisco, the refugees will be mexicans, she'll come from a Seals back ground, they'll cut the cyber hacking shit by half if not totally or put those duties on another member of the team so they can have The Major whose name will be Cassandra or something that kind of sounds like an American version of Kusanagi doing cool Matrix Lobby scene shit (yes I know Matrix took it directly from the anime) so she can distract soldiers and by time for the member of her team that's a crack cyber hacker.
>>
>>63661564
Pretty good choice DESU, SJ's face does resemble the Major's at least in Stand Alone Complex

also remember she's just a brain in a robot body, if people could actually buy prosthetics like that you know that Asians would try to look white.

because scarlett makes more money, there is no reason to adapt animation to live action other than to get some dumb goy cash
>>
>>63661564
Not like they need anyone that can act.
Mango Major's only notable aspect was her being a sex fiend. Oshii's video essay on alienation and how technology serves only to further increase roneriness' Major was a functional autist.
All they need was someone with a pretty face and a willingness to get into tight clothing.
>>
>>63662440
Arise was nothing but an attempt by IG to extract as much money from the fanbase while investing as little as possible in the animation.

Here is what I don't fucking get. They have all of these stories in the manga as well as the anime series. They can extrapolate the themes, tech, imagery and iconography and create a new fresh movie in the same universe; perhaps set in the USA instead of Japan with it's own narrative and still use the GITS license. I think many people would enjoy it and they wouldn't need to butcher the source trying to conform to the medium and Hollywood's various mechanisms. There are a glut of writers hungry for an opportunity to make their mark, why do they keep employing the same fucking hacks?

Why make that movie at all? No way it will ever be as good as its source material or first adaption, even if it stared an Asian actress and was made in Japan.
You know the answer: Money. Another cash cow to milk. And to launch that, they need a household name for the part. Braver adaptions that take chances with unknowns and actors fitting the initial nationality of the characters in question will come later, if Nipshit proves financially successful.

You should, they're going to ruin yet another movie that was amazing because of the animation and theme NOT because the story or characters were particularly good or interesting.

I never said they were good,i said they didn't have any tropes i was aware of.

Will it really matter? The ony thing worth fussing about is that scarlet johansson is our "action girl" now, and that's really just a shame.

As far as adapting an anime itself? It will be pretty much forgotten about in a few years, same will happen to those attack on Titan movies, DB evolution keeps getting talked about cuz it messed up so bad. This will just be mediocre with a mediocre lead actress

Because they're pandering to capeshit audience and regard GitS as just some old action flick about droids and whatnot. It's strange how people are outraged with cast for this cash grab rehash when everything about it's production indicates they don't know shit about the franchise.
>>
>>63663694
I honestly didn't want to give you the benefit of an answer because you said "One Piece and DBZ" as examples, which just comes to show how little you know about anime since your knowledge only goes as deep as two extremely mainstream series that are very formulaic and the equivalent of dumb action movies, but since you're trying so hard to get attention i'll actually explain to you that anime IS "filled with tired tropes" Just like triple A video games are all the same copy and paste garbage and books are all Twilight ripoffs.
You're literally judging an entire medium based on your lack of knowledge and your poor attempts at broadening your horizonz, i'd suggest that the next time you tried to speak up about your opinion, do it on a subject you've actually put time into instead of just throwing an outsider's perspective as if its the objective truth.
tl;dr You should go watch Boku no Pico
>>
>>63663890
