Ghost in the Shell Superbowl trailer

Looks good to me. Lot of big time gits fans not liking it though

Looks good.

I am hoping the rumors are true that there will be a Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer and release date for the game shown during the Super Bowl.

Hollywood and Anime don't mix especially with the Whitewashing

I know its been a long arse time since I watched the original Ghost in the Shell, but from what I can remember this looks to be about as true-to-the-source a live action adaptation as you could ever hope for (whitewashing controversy aside). Each trailer I have watched, there has been an iconic scene/shot (or two, or three) that stood out in my mind from the original, and looked to be lifted frame-by-frame from the anime and plugged in here. Spider tank, the infamous opening scene (minus nudity), the Major's shallow water fight, Batou throwing his trench coat back in slo-mo to unload on a motherfricker, etc. Also, Batou's design looks damn good - his prosthetic eyes were something I thought a live action adaptation would just gloss over.

Unless my memory has gone to shite and I am forgetting a lot of stuff from the original material, I'd bet most the fanboys that are currently bitching would be jizzing in their pants if the actress playing the major was Asian, instead of Scarlett friggin Johansson.

Scarlet is an absolutely abysmal choice, but my overall issue is that I don't see the source material transferring over well. It is too cerebral.

They should have made a Cowboy Bebop movie with Timothy Olyphant as Spike instead.

new trailer

I'm really looking forward to this. 2017 is shaping up to be a great year for sci fi.

That's why it will be a trainwreck that's cool to look at.

I never saw the anime so I don't really care how faithful of an adaptation this is, I just want a good movie.
