@broderick: Yeeup, Scarlett Johanssen is definitely the best actress for Ghost In The Shell. Cannot think of another.
Scarlett Johansson Signs On to Star in DreamWorks’ ‘Ghost in the Shell’ (EXCLUSIVE)
“DreamWorks principal Steven Spielberg is a huge fan of the original and has long wanted to get this film off the ground. A commitment from a star like Johansson should help in getting the pic greenlit for production.”
would you rather have the movie with johansson, or no movie?
tumblr doesn’t even read the articles they complain about, film at 11 — oh wait, that’s not news.
I would rather have no movie!
Alternatively: Would I rather see yet another instance of Hollywood giving nonwhite roles to white people, or would I rather we skip that nth instance?
I don’t think something should be let to slip by because “oh well it’s the only way we could make it happen”. That excuse is oilspillapologyonfurrug.jpg
If Hollywood isn’t ready to cast a Japanese actress to play a Japanese woman in a Japanese story set in Japan, then they’re not ready to make Ghost in the Shell.
ALSO THIS
why isn’t the solution ever “publicly name and denounce the fucking racists that won’t ‘green light’ it otherwise”….
Also, it’s a fucking lie that Steven Spielberg has a hard time getting things off the ground, are you shitting me. He’s Steven Spielberg.
