Hodgepodge posted:If Johansson refused a major role due to whitewashing, it would be a huge deal, and would set a standard that producers would have to take into account. She has to fight to even get a lead female role, you realize she's one of maybe 3 actresses that ever even get this kind of opportunity at this scale? If she refused on these grounds, what would happen is they'd offer it to one of the other 2 white actresses, and if they refused, the movie wouldn't get made, end of story. And she's not magically going to get other lead roles instead, the only reason she even gets the opportunity is GITS happens to be an ultra-rare combination of a property with enough cultural cachet to get greenlit where the lead role is female and can't easily be replaced with a guy (which they would do in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it).

Neo Rasa posted:Like if they made a movie called Ghost in the Shell and it was set is dystopian cyberpunk New York or LA and had an all western cast I couldn't care less. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they were going to do with the failed Akira movie (setting it in neo-new-york or some poo poo), and that didn't exactly stop people from hating it and yelling about the project
