Exactly. If they’re just transplanting a foreign film to American (like Oldboy) then it’s probably fine. But casting Scarlett Johansson as someone named Kusanagi is pretty offensive and this movie will die like every movie this decade that’s tried to get away with this crap. This picture looks sillier than Jamie…

I agree. She may work for the role if the story is not set in Japan. If you are going to set the location in a non-white area because it is important to the story, then it would make sense to use actors from that area and limiting the number of white people in the movie. It just makes more narrative sense. I am not…
The worst part is hearing white people pronounce Japanese names wrong. Just watch, they’re gonna call her “Muh-TOW-kow.”
It’s not a tuma. Who is your daddy and what does he do
The dirty secret is that scientists and skeptics all love the idea of bigfoot, but they just can’t accept that a guy leaving donuts in the woods for Bigfoot is really on to anything.
Depends on if you’re talking about the series or the Movie. The movie was about existence and how we view ourselves in the face of technology. (What does it mean to be alive).
Shoulda changed the name to The Magnificent Seven, or The Departed, or The Lake House, or Point of No Return
So exactly what they did with Edge of Tomorrow/All You Need Is Kill, renaming Keiji Kiriya to William Cage when he was played by Tom Cruise.
Agreed. I didn’t know it was still set in Japan. I assumed since she was the star that it would be sort of culturally transformed to a western setting. Having it still in Japan makes this casting even weirder....
Obligatory...
I care about Steve, not just Cap.
