He couldn't save Johnny Mnemonic and he had help from Dolph Lundgren as cyber-Jesus.

They could literally just hire a person of Japanese descent but someone was like "nah we'll take care of it in post"

Part of me wonders if they stuck with Scarlett over any remotely well known japanese actress so that the film might be an easier sell to the chinese movie market. Sure there are japanese actors in secondary roles but Scarlet is a known face from the marvel movies which make a metric fuckton of money overseas. I also don't know one way or the other how well japanese movies crossover to the chinese market but I know that the whole area has a lot of cultural tension.

He saved "Brother" with Omar Epps so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

"According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to “shift her ethnicity” and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film."

Oh loving hell, this is going to be Clu from Tron Legacy all over again.

they are relying on scarjo to sell it at all. kludging together kuze and the laughing man into one character is an absolutely terrible idea.

But enough about Robert Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke.

Seriously, just because Shirow started drawing porn because it was easier to develop than the stories in his early career doesn't mean those stories were bad or anything. The first GITS and GITS1.5 are excellent pieces of cyberpunk, Dominion Tank Police is a hilarious cop comedy, and Appleseed is still quite good sci-fi political thriller, although it seems all it's adaptations are also muddled messes because they try to smash all cool bits together like the spider gun platforms and gently caress it up.

Shirow is a good idea man, but, especially in his later work, his execution left a lot to be desired. I'd love someone to go over GITS2, because there's plenty to plot pieces to mine there but Shirow got too masturbatory with the artwork, both figuratively and literally, that he really didn't know where to go with it. Also, it would be something new in the GITS franchise instead of retreading old Section 9 plotlines.

That's just the Hollywood star system. They use casting as shorthand for character development. For example, if you cast Bruce Willis in a role, then everyone knows what sort of person that character is supposed to be.

Tweeting right now, I want nothing more than to see more asians in lead roles-

what? no, I'm not gonna watch your foreign film recommendations, don't be silly.

What I meant is that I want to see more American-speaking asians in my next big-budget comic book adaptation, with about 20 layers cgi filter between us at all times. Step out of your comfort zone, Hollywood
