Scarlett Johansson to star in GHOST IN THE SHELL feature film from Dreamworks

[RIDDICK]

this movie could end up being surprisingly good though, maybe we could get another Dredd 3D.

No way. DREDD was great because the plot was simple as **** and the whole thing wasn't an adaptation of another adaptation.

ScarJo as Kusanagi is fine, and yes, anyone who disagrees is either a poor SJW or doesn't have a clue about GITS.

Or, like me, just doesn't like Scar Jo.

My wife is half Japanese and only reason she's seeing this is because of Scarjo

 

[EVILFACE]

Did you tell her she was deplorable?

 

[jye4ever]

She is, she actually likes TDKR.

 

[EVILFACE]

Where's the detonator!!!!

 

[jye4ever]

At least the spider tanks look creepy

DREDD was fantastic.

At least SHE has good taste!

I wonder what they'll go with Akira, now Akira is a special case because its Japanese roots are a pivotal part of the story, if you take away the Japanese culture of Akira you're taking away half of what makes it relevant and half of it's depth and soul, I suppose you can always repurpose something for a western culture, or make it lighter and focus of just technology instead of Japanese nationalism, but it's gonna lack personality.



Exhibit A. Beautifully put, couldn't have thought of a better contradiction example myself

If Nolan does do Akira as his next film or whenever I bet he WILL stay close to the Japanese roots- bet it will be in Tokyo, etc but main charaxcter might still be white...for sake of box office of course...

He can stay the F away from Akira

who would he hire for the main role?

Christian Bale

 

[Chapter 2099]

Ugh. I'm sorry, and I'll catch **** for this, but I can't compare Akira to GITS - I don't even like it mentioned in this thread.

I respect people's opinions about Akira, but I think GITS (movie) was far superior. All a matter of taste. I know.

 

[jye4ever]

GITS > AKIRA

Then he'd be faking it, I'd rather they scrapped the Japanese influence altogether if they plan to do that.

No.

GITS > AKIRA

No.

Holy ****. Akira is light years ahead of GITS and still is to most modern works of fiction.

Hell, Akira > Blade Runner itself.

I like GITS, but get the **** out of here.

Wew. The nerve.

 

[Chapter 2099]

But given that I have already received jye's backing, I feel totally in the right here. End thread. I win teh internetz.

j/k

I see the appeal of Akira, but I just never appreciated it as much as some. I do respect your opinion though.

 

[GasparZizou]

Alright alright :

But thread lightly cause

Spoiler:

I'll cut you.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Hell, Akira > Blade Runner itself.

 

[SNIKT1950]

I like 'em all.

 

[GasparZizou]

>he blinks
XDDDD

Let me reiterate:

Akira > Blade Runner

Spoiler:

Gotta rewatch NCFOM soon tho.
