- Interesting. Seems like Americans are ultra sensitive about it. Personally Im always for non known actors for cool flicks. When I see a known actor it kills itsofakingback
- ...for me a bit. Although I think SJ was a natural choice because of her previous roles.sofakingback
- Look at it this way: Ex Machina, with SJ instead. that movie would not of been that cool. The unfamiliar is god.sofakingback
- I agree. When you are trying to buy into a new, crazy character it helps to not know who they are. ExM would not have worked with a superstarformed
- Japanese people aren't as sensitive to this as asian americans because they grew up with enough asian rolemodels and entertainment.err

- what the fuck? Is this a remake done by Freemasons? What's with the fucking triangle.... and the shit acting, set design, sound & CG.... what anime did they seemugwart
- ^ calm the fuck down, mate. The original GITS logo has a triangle in the middle. Also, it's footage only - no CG, grading or owt. Chill your tits.face_melter
- (love that expression; chill/calm your tits. What are the tits doing to begin with?)Gnash
- tits be like heated! there is CG is this. The way the triangle is handled is very weird, so the film is looking like its been handled very badly.mugwart
- and yes I love that expression as well! ;-)mugwart

- I got into Shirow in the mid-80s through japanese friends and read GITS when the first translation came out, I still fail to see the point of this...spl33nidoru
- ... it feels so flat and uninspired compared to the comics and animes.spl33nidoru
- even though I can see the work and probably love that went into it.spl33nidoru
- cant wait to watch itBennn
- agreed. something is missing... Also the music in the trailers and now this is just so generic and boring. Oh well.inteliboy
- looks really bad - shame. Blade runner incoming...fadein11

I just re-watched the original the other day. Amazing. Hopefully this movie adaptation will make justice.

I saw the trailer on the big screen before Logan and I gotta say it looked amazing. I'm going to give it a chance. They showed one split second of the spider tank and I got giddy.

I loved Ghost In The Shell but I'm not going to watch this.
I was already annoyed with the lack of asians in american entertainment. I am reminded of it every Halloween.
I do not want to dress up as a white character. Just my thing. Its like watching a white person dress up as a black character. A big part of costume becomes about you dressing up as another race.
I'm stuck with being a no name character like "a ghost buster" or "a zombie" and so on. It's either that a martial artists like Bruce Lee or something offensive like "Short Round".
It's not wrong that they picked SJ to play the main role. Its not wrong that they picked white actors to play asian roles. It just gets annoying that whenever they get an obvious opportunity to pick an asian for an asian role they dont. Im annoyed.
- I feel your point about should have picked an asian actor, but fucking LOL at not being able to dress up as non-asian characters at halloween. FUCKING LOL THATset
- I know its a lil strange. But im tired of dressing up as white ppl.err
