Probably. They just started releasing some new GitS movies in Japan but I'm pretty convinced most people haven't given a gently caress about GitS since SAC ended.

What is the point in taking a cartoon series (that nobody cares about) and reshooting them with live actors? This ain't transformers, hell it's not even Dragonball ( and that live action movie sure went well...), just some weaboo poo poo.

BTW werent they gonna film Cowboy Bebop movie with Keanu Reeves?

I forgot about those. I tried to sit through them maybe a month ago because a couple were on Netflix, and they're so terrible I already forgot they exist.

They should really piss off the weird kids and not give her special ed haircut in the movie.

Lucy was a legit good time. 14 year old redditors just got all tensed up about the 10 percent of the mind trope. Because someone told them to be upset about it. Who cares?

I want to see SJ shooting people and being attractive in tight clothes while turning into a computer. That rules.

So we've moved on from being angry about Tilda Swinton in the Dr.Strange trailer and moved on to this? Gosh, the internet outrage machine moves so fast these days.

Also, let's face it, even if they'd cast an asian individual, the internet outrage machine would have said they were the wrong kind of asian, not dark skinned enough, not fat enough...ect ect ect.

Personally, I think Scarjo is well cast and looks the part. :)

the hilarity of anime is that all their characters that are supposed to be japanese actually look white so they hire a white actress who looks more like the character than any japanese would and people flip out that they didn't hire a japanese

i think japan probably needs to sort out its own self-loathing

this is right next to the dark tower movie in terms of just plain wrong casting. with that said theyll both probably be good anyway and fun in a "hollywood making a bizarre adaptation where they dont really understand what theyre doing" kind of way. they sort of remind me of that mario bros movie from the 80s but these ones wont be huge flops.

plus she looks hot as gently caress especially with her hair like that. one of her best looks yet so that will probably sell the movie on it's own.

Keanu was spearheading it and the rumor is that they had a script outline based on the first episode of the show. He wanted no compromises and Warner Bros felt the movie would cost too much (they estimated a $400m budget), so it was canned.

arise is the latest revival and it has been pretty lousy. actually im surprised they arent basing the movie on those. every other version of gits has been about a cyborg lady who is ridiculously tough and smart dealing with weird future crime. arise dares to ask, what if instead she was kind of dumb and generally incompetent and just kinda randomly flailed her way through the exact same weird future crime scenarios? like goddamn, how many times does the cyber brain hacking expert need to get her cyber brain hacked?

also masamune shirow has focused on drawing greasy horse porn for decades now. dude came up with a great setting but is otherwise terrible in every way unless you like greasy horse porn.

Masamune Shirow once said in an interview that the reason he made Makoto a lesbian was because he did not want to draw man rear end, only lady rear end. He is a porn man deep down at heart.

he is openly a porn man because that has been the entirety of his work for decades now. like, good for him i guess? he loves drawing greasy porn and he has made a living from it.

one big successful anime adaptation would lead to a bunch of other anime adaptations. if this tanks then the rest of those projects will go back to limbo.
