Ghost in the Shell

Well we're getting some sweet ScarJo Sci-Fi, yo

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/scarlett-johansson-star-dreamworks-ghost-761118

like scarjo but she is all wrong for the role... but her being hired isn't a major problem for me though

She's good, but she's no spot on for the role of Motoko.

J Lawrence, Gemma Arterton or Emilia Clarke would have been a better fit if they wanted a popular younger white actress for the role

Edit: Emmy Rossum is another; I'd have gone with her if it's got to be a white girl

something i love and something i hate.

this is my nightmare.

I actually thought of you and audibly "heh"d when I first heard about it.

Jesus, why is Hollywood so inept?

Thought they learnt their lesson when trying to adapt Akira, Guess not.

While I am not a fan for this decision at all, the the comment section of that article is pretty funny. Lets see how this turns out.

Can't wait for the tank fight. Where's Halle Berry when ya need her?

Halle Berry as the Major? She couldn't handle Cat woman role right. Seem like I'm alone on being excited for this movie.

How badass would it have been if they had cast

Spoiler:
a japanese actress

^^That doesn't sound very Japanese-y to me

That'll do, pig, that'll do, even though she's a bit old for the physical aspects of the character

Asa Akira 😛

But in all seriousness I'm not keen on anyone with significant acting ability.

Rory McCann for Batou 👆

There's Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim), and of course there are plenty of other very good Japanese actresses... but they don't have a big name in the US and stuido's ain't putting money on an unknown lead.
