Comrade Fakename posted:Do we know that the GITS movie isn't set in Neo New York or whatever? I've not seen any info that the film is set in Japan. The synopsis from the OP's article is the following: quote:Based on the internationally-acclaimed sci-fi property, “GHOST IN THE SHELL” follows the Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic’s advancements in cyber technology. So the only real concrete detail is "Hanka Robotics", which isn't even that concrete. Everything else could easily be transposed to the US.

Gyges posted:Looking at the IMDB for the movie, I don't see how they can have it set in Neo Tokyo as agents for the Japanese Government. There's only like 4 East Asian actors listed. If I had to guess they're going to have Section 9 be part of some sort of Interpol/U.N. agency or at least move them to a more multicultural country than Japan. Though it does still raise the question of why ScarJo's Major is still sporting a Japanese name and why they were looking to CGI their cast Asian. It's a thing in East Asia where people view whiteness as the ideal and looking more white is closer to perfection. So in a way it'd be incredibly ironic - here's this Japanese woman who's become the picture of perfection, yet in exchange she has to abandon most of what makes her human.
