agyness deyn was good in the pusher remake but i don't think you want indie twee people masquerading as military soldiers. it'd be like having michael ciera and ellen page in there, although i'd argue pilou asbaek is doing that already. they should have casted the rock or jason statham

black rain is about as close to cyberpunk as its possible to be without actually being cyberpunk unfortunately it's also roughly 20 hours long and mostly dull as gently caress

also yeah look at the source the major is a character who changes bodies constantly so I'm willing to bet they thought they could get away with using a white actress shirow doesn't seem to give a poo poo I saw the original movie in a theater on tuesday it was gr8

My fear is not the white washing but the ham fisted fan service. I suspect they are going to just drop random scenes from the most popular versions of the GitS catelogue that are totally out of context and stripped of their original significance. For example, in one of the previews they show the scene from the original movie of the Major waking up in her apartment. In the 1995 animated movie that scene brilliantly setup the themes and ideas of the movie using interesting visual metaphors. The live action movie, I fear, is just going to throw it in there and be all "Hey remember this scene from the movie?! Wasn't that cool?!"

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply my worry is over canon. What worries me is lifting whole scenes from one movie and crowbaring them into a different movie just to pander to some target audience usually results in the movie being a trash heap. That said, I'm actually really impressed by the original stuff that is being showcased. On the topic of fanservice, I find the cyborg scenes very uncanny valley and not in any way sexual which is

hopefully they can at least get the music right. if it ends up being scored by moody covers of modern pop songs it'll be pretty disappointing

It seems it is not on any of the normal web channels nor anywhere in meatspace. I can get it in the black net but I want the creators to get their cut. Good microsoft ain't cheap after all. Suggestions?
