holy shi-t. i never expected this to happen

that would be so amazing.

scarlet johansen definitely comes to mind with looks and skills, but at the same time i'm feeling maybe she should have more asian features. Not to sound racist, but for the first movie at least make it more authentic. Then maybe a future sequel in motoko's new body you can go for a westerner. Kinda like what they did for the nick fury character by mixing it up from a white to a black guy.


or at the very least Milla Jovovich if they want a western main cast. she's had a similar role in the movies violet and resident evil

but that begs the question, maybe it's too much of a recurring theme that she always gets the main role for these major films, that it's awfully reminiscent of those days when Nicholas cage spammed every movie he could get his paws on because he had trouble with the IRS to pay off his bills 

A big part of gits is that it's a japanese special unit for public safety (something like homeland security but more black ops oriented). So are they going to relocate this to the US instead ? But in gits the US was considered a separate faction outside the gits team. Would be interesting to see what they do here 
anyway....The fact that the same director as for Snow White and the Huntsman is supposed to work on this makes me more uncomfortable than knowing Scarlet is supposed to be Motoko...

but the last anime they tried to do something similar, like dragon ball, i was permanently traumatized by the westernized version of it    so i'm very skeptical how this will turn out.

At the very least it's got to have the matrix level of quality of wow factor if they are going to win any fans with this
