Scarlett Johansson: Live-Action Ghost in the Shell Begins Filming in Early 2016

What is wrong with Arise tough? It´s just SAC with a stronger anti-terror/crime focus.

As for GITS being a rip-off of Blade Runner, I'll assume that's a joke

Kusanagi is largely emotionless and monotone. Johansson will be fine.

Either they changed too much or not enough to justify making a new version of GitS.

I liked Arise, personally.

Holy hell, did everyone that reacted to this completely miss the bolded part? In every version of GiTS, the Major is in fact largely emotionless and monotone.Yes, she has more personality in SAC, but she still is what she's always been shown to be.

I don't know if I actually want this to be good or just interestingly terrible, which it's more likely to be.

I think some people's problem with Arise is that it's essentially SAC... except it isn't, leading people to wonder why they didn't just make more SAC. Either they changed too much or not enough to justify making a new version of GitS.

[Personally, I thought the new character designs are crap. I felt that it is a significant issue. Though I am giving Arise a try, will see if the magic is still there.

A 8.165 is a dirty secret? Well i gave the OVA an "excellent" and A.A. + Ore Monogatari are anime of the year candidates. I also upvoted the Imdb pages and recommend it to every geek i know so much job is done. Look dear anons.
GitS, Sailor Moon (will it be Megan Fox or Jennifer Lawrence?), Batman or... will all be adapted and remade/rebooted every 5 to 10-ish years as that is a license holder´s and Hollywood´s raison d'etre. Have fun with the next 10 alternate universes, random ova remixes/3D conversions, highly needed PS2/PSP games (the PSX one is ok), more books none will touch and whatever Kōkaku Kidōtai Nyumon Arise is. Expect a petition (one exist against the 2017 version) in 2027 too that will complain that the 2017 "classic" is being remade as it will be the only GitS they will know.

I frankly doubt if the staff will even bother that much Coresignal with the first movie or if they should as the movie just too "dated" now and too cerebral on top. No 3D glasses wearing crowd will be interested in any of that as the spirit of GitS is the opposite of main stream.
It is Cyberpunk after all and the movie needed to happen 15 years go if at all and it can only turn into Matrix 33 1/3 or an alternative to Resident Evil at this point.
Worst of all is that Edge of Tomorrow did it right and could have set a standard but it flopped so the studios notices and certainly won´t care for the next few years to hire actual talent.
Who knows when our next chance will show up. Pacific Rim 2 barely went into production, HBO´s Monster is probably dead again and... i got nothing but maybe the proposed Bible Black life action adaptation will save us. Oh god and Robotech by Michael Gordon (he "wrote" G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra) will be nonsense too. This movie may be the least of our problems.
@TarsTarkas Hm. I love the new character designs but Batou is naked without his ponytail.

which is why this movie will be hated by fans everywhere. and you might as well forget any though of a robotech movie cause considering that pacific rim bombed, this idea is gonna be scrapped along with any ideas of a cowboy bepop movie.
