Wow. Hollywood is really digging deep. You would think with the effort to figure out how to remake things they could use that creative juice to come up with something new!

It is very sad that, an actor as good as Jordan is signing on for these ill designed attempts. I understand, work is work. But you can't complain about the dearth of roles for actors of color and then sign on for an off the rack fit like this. It's truly shameful that a studio exec was thinking 'we have to put this guy in something' and then, more or less, just spun the remake a remake wheel.
 


EDIT: I just actually watched. It looks...very inoffensive. Just kinda there. Not even upset about it. I will say, the colors are extremely vibrant and beautiful. But it just looks like movie. Not horrible, not memorable. Just...

WHY do they ignore the cries of this poor beastie to be put out of it's misery. Is there really a dollar in it anymore? Do you think that the gazillion attempts are not going to put people off at this point. TO THIS DAY, Brandon Lee's version stands very tall...why tarnish the legacy?

Oh...because someone can make some money. Sorry, forgot.

‘Ghost in the Shell’ Producers Reportedly Tested Visual Effects That Would Make White Actors Appear Asian

According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to “shift her ethnicity” and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film.

It’s the latest, and most extreme, case of “beauty work,” the new trend in Hollywood to discreetly use visual effects to tweak an actor’s appearance, making them thinner, younger or stronger. The Ghost in the Shell tests were conducted by Lola VFX, the same company that aged up (and down) Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and is considered the industry leader in so-called beauty work. Though the tests were requested by the production team, once they were developed and reviewed, the idea was rejected “immediately,” says an insider.

We reached out to Paramount Pictures who acknowledged the tests, but refute the claim that Johansson was involved:
