Indecisiveness
It actually got all kinds of blessings from the man behind the original GITS franchise, Mamoru Oshii so it might not be too bad after all
CheeseKaiser
Terrible casting...
ikindacarebutimostlydont
Scarlett's acting was kind of bad in this trailer. Like she was trying not to laugh while delivering her lines.
Rasdwatrium
Looks pretty meh tbh
fozzibab
No, it looks *horrible*. A massive wet shit on the face of anime/manga/fans. Fuck you, DreamWorks.
gorillaClutch
I mean i guess it's good it looks like they're just straight ripping scenes from the old movie but something new might be more interesting
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I'll be honest, I got a bit giddy when they showed her jumping/falling from the rooftop. That's such an iconic shot of the original!
Mimsey
For me it's that they're straight ripping SOME of the coolest scenes, but apparently mixing it in with a plot that's unrelated.
WiqidBritt
I did not think it looked good at all.
NothingImportantToSay
Calling it now: this movie is going to suck so bad. I hope I am wrong. I fear I am not.
eukee
no tachikoma in the trailer it will suck
dsfounis
The 1995 movie had no stupid tachikomas
Mimsey
It had one big one...
Jiigen
The movie's okay. I love the original and watched it like 20x. I also went to an exhibition about GitS, Patlabor and NGE here in Germany.

This is blasphemy
skarnlonewolf
Agreed ! Its Kusanagi, not "The Major". Its Japan, not HK. Bleh D:
Fistouille
Looks whitewashed
SherMattLockSmith
Japanese anime studios have a long history of whitewashing their characters, don't try and pin this on the American movie makers.
SherMattLockSmith
Have you even seen the anime? The anime itself is whitewashed, and they are basing it off of the characters in the anime, not sentiment.
ImHonestonhowIseethings
It looks good don't get me wrong but her face kills it for me.
Niroan
Why?
NuclearOrange
Batou looks terrible. As someone who watched all animated works - meh.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I think he looks okay. It's just that picture with the weird lighting that makes him look weird.
DChrisSmith
I'm working on it, very cool I like it a lot.
Etienneee
What do you do?
DChrisSmith
I'm one of the sound designers on the project.
RagingSnorlax
No
synthetichug
trailer narrative has the special snowflake vibe that most female leads get, I guess they're dropping the original philosophical premise.
hoffbox
Yeah. :/
BloodiDodi
From the trailer you can say it's going to be about personal drama instead of philosophical questions about the soul what made the(1)
BloodiDodi
original a cult classic. Maybe it won't be as bad as Hollywood adaptation of Kite but people will forget about it in few months(2).
Mimsey
Yup. I'm preparing myself for disappointment already.
AgentSplodey
Actually you can't say that. Since they're unlikely to sell it on philosophy, but kickass cyborgs is a guarantee, could just be excluded
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Yeah, I really don't think they'll go for the philosophical approach. But tbf, that shit doesn't sell to the mass audience :(
mrhatnklogs
Actually she does have philosophical questions in the trailer. Looks like her goal is more directed at finding who screwed her over tho
synthetichug
The theme was defining the self and what it means to be human. Trailer has her asking why she is special, not really philosophical...
jellyboness
I love Scarlet Johansson but I don't get why they wouldn't use Asian actors????
LukeKarr22
Could be good, could be bad. It's at least getting me to watch the anime to compare it to.
Greginator87
As an Asian, should I be offended by the white washing? I'm not sure if this is offensive or not.
Theman098
Do some research and see how you feel. Getting offended because someone says you should be is giving someone else unneeded control over you.
BloodiDodi
At least it makes some sense when it comes to the source material unlike Legend of Chun-Li retardation. But Scar Jo is a miscast.
stja
If whitewashing is offensive, start with being offended by (almost) all anime. It's extremely rare for characters in anime to look Asian.
Cheomesh
Or human, come to think
battymynameis
Actually: https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/08/30/guest-post-why-do-the-japanese-draw-themselves-as-white/
Sfinski
Well the character is white. And how about that Attack on Titan movie, where everyones Asian yet in the original show none of them were?
CthulhuPanda
I think everyone in GitS is supposed to be Japanese. Isn't there something about Japan being Isolationist. Also 1 girl from AoT was Asian.
FallWind
The major's body isn't her original one. Supposedly, she picked one akin to a mass-produced (western) model to blend in better.
Mimsey
Well given her body is entirely synthetic, she could be 100% Japanese and just be using a white body.
ThePrimrose
People in anime have asian names but look incredibly white. So who knows.
SherMattLockSmith
Take a look at the anime itself, it is whitewashed already, and that was made by Japanese anime studios, they have a long history of it.
hoffbox
I don't think it's so much offensive as stupid. "Ah yes let me introduce you to my white friend Matoko Kusinagi"
Cere4l
https://www.google.nl/search?q=Motoko+Kusanagi&tbm=isch ...
hoffbox
...and?
Cere4l
looks pretty white to me
hoffbox
Round eyes and big boobs, right? Kind of like the rest of Japanese people depicted in anime...
Charmedsycophant
lubemeupbeforeyougogo
Scarlett johanson as kusanagi is starting to grow on me. I'm still skeptical, but some of these pictures are nice. Also she is a good actres
Mimsey
She still looks too deer-in-the-headlight. The Major is calm, confident, and focused nearly all the time. She's like a Terminator.
CthulhuPanda
It's been the opposite way for me. I thought everyone being mad about her was over the top but watching the trailer she's the one (1/2)
CthulhuPanda
thing that drags me out of the immersion. (2/2)
gewalt
so basically you went into it with a bias against an actress, and self confirmed your disposition. bummer dude
CthulhuPanda
No, I thought ScarJo would be good and that everyone was over-reacting. But watching the trailer I can't see her as anything but Black Widow
Haplo9999
Please don't suck. Please don't suck .
WolfgangMcTaco
I hope they use the original intro music tbose drums and the choir was amazing!!!
silverbean
IS THAT SCARLETT JOHANSSON? CGI is at a peak, directors are trying to break outside of the Hollywood box, I think this is gonna be good.
srsgiraffe
Directed by Rupert Sanders. "Sanders' first feature film was Snow White and the Huntsman"...shiiiiitttttt......
Florise
Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Maybe we chant it, it'll not suck?
LooseyGooseyBrett
But i want her to suck
TruffleMcShuffle
It'll suck, licence cash in... Kenji kawai or Yoko Kanno not working on the soundtrack..
chocomallow
Watching the trailer feels like they're pulling an I, Robot. Original property dressed up in a popular property's skin. I will judge it as..
chocomallow
an original story and try to enjoy it as such.
Mimsey
Seems like they're diverging really hard from the plot of the first movie while still including half of its cool scenes. I worry.
BlasserDuennerJunge
It's a Hollywood-production. It will be much CGI without a plot so... yeah it will.
scabab
well it looks like its a take for take remake of the original feature... so yes plot. yes very plot.
BlasserDuennerJunge
That's what we all thought about Marvel-Remakes... and what happened?
scabab
they are consistently well regarded?
Cheomesh
Honestly I don't much remember the plot of the original, other than hunting down a criminal.
LordNoodles
I loved the anime show too.
BlasserDuennerJunge
It was about the question where your souls lies, what makes you human and so on... so... nothing important.
Cheomesh
Lain probably did a better job of it, then. FWIW there is no soul - I don't subscribe to mind-body dualism.
OrcSkinSuit
Why would it suck? Everything 2016 has touched has been amazing so far.
Aphexius
Except Carrie Fisher.
SlicedPotat
I've never had anybody say that to me. How do proceed?
imherefortheplot
I'm with you on that idea but Scarlett Johansson just doesn't seem right to me.
ggwhorea
Scar jo? Um..... ok sounds good.
Spearka
It's a video game movie, of course it will
DeadButNotTooDead
*sigh*..... moge
mossymossy
Isn't it just shot for shot??
ReferToTheManualPlease
Imgurian from the future, here: It didn't suck.
IronicUsername
Live action adaptation of a popular anime show/movie being marketed to a general audience. I have a feeling it's gonna suck.
BritishBatman
well marvel did a great job with comics, which are kinda the same thing, so I'd say it's possible.
deskrubbit
Cellamonster89
It would have been nice if they used an Asian actress though
ProphetTenebrae
Given even the lamest action film can look awesome in a 2 minute trailer - don't soil your panties just yet, eh OP?
FutureRetroism
Have you seen the Assassins Creed trailer? That looks terrible in about 2 minutes.
ProphetTenebrae
I said CAN, not WILL.
ProphetTenebrae
Or do, I'm just a humble comment farmer.
whyiseverythingupsidedown
I'm skeptical at best. I don't think ScarJo will do Motoko Kusanagi justice. I hope I'm wrong.
grumplestiltzkin
She's not a bad actress, but honestly it's the script I'm most worried about. Very easy to completely miss the point of the original.
ProphetTenebrae
Someone probably said "She's hot and she doesn't show any emotion." And she was just immediately cast without a word being said.
whyiseverythingupsidedown
Movie exec: "How can we appeal to the thirst and make millions without needing substance?" other movie exec: "ScarJo."
ToanSavoo
Nothing will be as good as the original 1995 manga version. Still, fair is fair: I'll give it a try when it's in theaters.

Saucy sauce https://youtu.be/G4VmJcZR0Yg
MunksterFunkster
Agreed
TheUnapologeticCanadian
The best version of GitS (other than the original Shirow manga) is Standalone Complex. The GitS anime movie was... alright.
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
Ghost in the Shell: Arise was pretty freaking epic.
Mimsey
The first movie was better than the manga imo. Seeing the action in motion made a big difference.
theweezel69
I hope they do that boat scene in this movie. You know the one.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I was thinking of the anime.. then I realized you meant the boat scene in the actual manga..
scabab
i hope tits
theweezel69
The boat scene from the manga is far better than just tits.
TheodoreWitchfucker
Wasn't the manga earlier as well too? '95 was the first film though, which was good!
ToanSavoo
'95 was the first film, yes. I was in the 2nd grade. The O.M. was some years prior, but I was too young for those.
itsjustabeaver
I see a lot of wishful thinking but all IRL remakes of manga sucks or are just alright. Also, Hollywood tends to botch reboot so :/
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Speed Racer was pretty well done. I liked The Last Airbender too. And I don't get the hate for Death Note either..
itsjustabeaver
I'm stressed out for I Am A Hero
itsjustabeaver
Death Not movies were actually not bad! but Attack on titan was bad, Gantz was bad, Parasyte was bad, As the God Wills was surprisingly ok.
itsjustabeaver
Last Airbender is not a manga, neither is speed racer... and the ghost in the shell movie is majestic, just like akira, it's untouchable IMO
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Well, animated to live action then.. and they're not changing the original movie. We're simply getting a new incarnation. Nothing is lost..

iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I seem to recall a rather graphic lesbian sex scene in the manga?..
Cosmogonic
batou's face. HUUUUUUUUUUK
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
3/4 view for those wanting anime reference:
Theman098
He looks 600% cross eyed.
RabidBadger88
Only complaint on Batou is that the lenses are too small.
ProphetTenebrae
Yeah, that is not how that should look.
RabidBadger88

Little J!!
cvx007
It's the lighting. Coming from both sides of his face makes him look crossed eyed. :) Calm ur tits guys :D
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Yeah, his eyes look pretty decent in the rest of the trailer. I also noticed his car from the original GitS is in the movie! :D
Cosmogonic
it's a edgied-up lotus esprit and no. nope, not the same car.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Meh, it captures the style well enough imo.
Cosmogonic
not really, especially when you have read appleseed, the manga shirow did before gits and finally dedicating himself to porn/fandom.
