Watch the first trailer for the movie Ghost in the Shell - the Hollywood adaptation of the cult manga that started in 1989 and was later adapted into anime films - which has already cost Hollywood a lot of money. The producers of the film chose Scarlett Johansson as the main actress. As a result, anime fans raised their voices and accused Hollywood of whitewashing Asian culture, even when it borrows stories from a purely Asian setting. Maybe the first, very cryptic trailer will put them at ease a bit.
A critic of choice Scarlett Johansson as female leads in an action sci-fi film Ghost in the Shell (2017), based on the manga of the same name 1989, they haven't shut up yet, but now the studio Dreamworks anime lovers begs for "forgiveness" with the first trailer (it's a collage of five teasers), which it uses to justify the choice of actors. But maybe anime fans they really get a little more satisfaction after being upset by the fact that a film based on Asian culture, did not find enough room for Asian players.
One of the comics, John Tsuei, said: "This decision is not only about erasing Asian faces, but also about moving away from the central theme of the story. In essence, this is a Japanese story, not a universal one."
