 Nope, it was created to be PG-13.

 That's never stopped the "they changed it, thus it sucks" complaints before.

 A couple of the scenes in the trailer look kind of EVE art-like. Circular interior, dark surfaces, bright overhead lighting. Also the protagonist's body looks just like an undressed Eve char.

 it looks like it will mainly draw on the original film but with some expanded scenes story swapped in from SAC.
 Besides nerd rage it's actually a very good IP to pick as there have already been several versions so a new version inst as unexpected. I am pretty surprised at how few anime have reached Hollywood. Maybe a good thing as so many will benefit from the visual effects being even better than today's standard. A day will come when vfx are good enough to be indistinguishable at 8k (ruffly the fidelity we see at).

 Last I knew the Major looked more European than Japanese in the original film.. Blue eyes and a large nose. Scarlett Johansson is a pretty good fit in my opinion for a similar look to the original film.

 Well nothing will ever match the original but I do have to agree Scarlette Johansson is the best pick they could have made for the role.
 
 It depends on how strongly attached people feel about the original though. As another otaku comparison, if Hollywood ever made an adaptation of Fate Stay Night/Fate Zero/UBW, I won't care who they cast and will rage no matter what the pick is lol
 
 EDIT: pre-emptive noooooooooo! before someone says Scarlette Johansson would be a good Saber XD

 Hm... I wish they had made her hair more... Puffy... You know, Motoko has much more volumous(?) hair than in the animes.
 Granted it is with RL actors and not an anime, but still.
 
 That is my only complaint so far =P

 I like Scarlett Johansson as an actress, but I have zero interest in watching her as the Major. I'll probably skip the movie, despite being a big GITS fan.

 Are you that low? Quite the opposite. I have high standards and a movie based on a great Japanese anime series played by a bunch of white people do not meet my standards. Sorry to disappoint you.

 Bullshit. Japanese love european looks, fashion and culture. Thats why the majority of manga/anime characters look more european than asian.
 
 Last time I checked, the same goes for Motoko and thats why it makes sense.
 
 Never saw or heard the use of the word "whitewashing" in a sensible manner.
 You probably should withdraw into some kind of safe space.

 I am not the only one that has come up with the word 'whitewash'...
 
 I am not the only one unhappy with the choice of Scarlett...
 
 She can probably pull it off but it doesn't mean it was a good decision to cast a white actress in a role of someone Japanese in the anime.
 
 But I will be boycotting the movie, sorry if you don't like that...

 Cant see the problem really but i don't approach this movie with any racist agenda and huge majority of ppl will act the same.
 
 That isn't to say that Hollywood doesn't have a track record that's for sure but at the end of a day main female hero of the movie is a robot made in japan that got her face squirted over metallic face frame and looks more European than Asian.
 
 So for all ppl that have racist or suspect of racist agenda she is probably the only one that is actually a-ok to be portrayed via white actress.

 Why do you keep sending me that racist links? It is not about the question does it happen or not, it is about the question "Why are you so butthurt abut that?".
 
 
 Quote:BuzzFeed: This Is Why EveryoneGÇÖs Angry About Scarlett Johansson Starring In GÇ£Ghost In The ShellGÇ¥ 
 I am not angry.
 
 
 Quote:BuzzFeed: Not just anime fans either, but Asian-American actors like Ming-Na Wen, who plays Agent May on MarvelGÇÖs Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., spoke up about the casting. 
 I am sure if a asian-american actor plays the role of a white character than people would praise this as a proof of success of the american society. But do not you dare to do it the other way round because in that case they call it "whitewhashing".
 
 
 Quote:BuzzFeed: But what about fans in Japan? Well, the reactions havenGÇÖt been as angry, but people appear to be uncomfortable about the whole thing. 
 And that is the problem. Hypocritical/racist sjw in the west are more butthurt about that than japanese in general.
 
 
 Quote:BuzzFeed: Basically, the overall attitude appears to be that GÇ£it canGÇÖt be helped.GÇ¥ Which, sadly, they may not wrong about. This is far from the only film going through this sort of controversy right now. 
 Due to the examples in that article I highly assume these hypocrites are talking exclusively about whitewashing.
 
 
 Wtf is buzzfeed anyway, some kind of morale instance? No it is not.
 
 Because of this here.
 
 And now my favorite part:
 
 A pile of white bread as Shinji Ikari
 Coming soon this jar of mayo as Naruto
 
 Because when I heard this: JK Rowling said Hermione GÇÿcan be a black woman with my absolute blessing and enthusiasmGÇÖ.
 I pictured this: JK Rowling said Hermione GÇÿcan be a chair with my absolute blessing and enthusiasmGÇÖ.
 
 As long a non-white actor can play a white character, a white actor can play a non-white character.
 
 However SJ looks far more like Motoko than any altenative asian actor in that article. And this is due to the japanese affinity of european looks.
 
 What does this mean in other words? Taking a european looking character to play a european looking character with asian origin/name is far more authentic than to take a real asian actor and this is why japanese are less butthurt than western sjw.
 
 To all "white guilt" supporters and non-white racists: Eat ****!
 
 Scarlett Johansson looks badass as Motoko.
 
 Now everything has been said.
 
 I am out from this topic for the sake of this forum.

 I think with it being just the one movie, they'd have to really go with the original GITS movie rather than the more in-depth fleshed out route of GITS:SAC.
 
 Can't please all the die hard fans, as this is a great franchise with amazing potential should they explore it. As long as Scarlett does a good job with what she's given, then people should like it?
 
 I checked out the writers of the movie, and it's done by the same people that did "Straight outta Compton" and "Street Kings", so already i'm a little nervous.
 
 Sooo yeah I guess i'll reserve judgement till I see it!
 
 This probably won't have any Tachikomas.
