It’s the nature of the business, from Disney franchises all the way down to arthouse fare all around the globe. Yes, many remakes are cash grabs, but since stories were first shared through spoken word thousands of years ago, storytellers have always sought to tap pre-existing content. I’m loath to insert myself into those discussions but I personally don’t see a major problem with remakes and I’m don’t really buy into the whitewashing controversy on this one. Given the film’s poor start on the charts, many critics have come out once more to deem the film an unnecessary remake and a blatant case of whitewashing.
Ghost in the shell typing gif live action update#
Sanders was perhaps too faithful to the original, albeit more formally than spiritually, resulting in a ravishing update that was all shell and no ghost.

Pierce Conran, Kwenton Bellette, Kurt Halfyard, Peter Martin, Stuart Muller and Each opinion is valid in its own way, and so is yours, so please leave your own impression in the comments.
Divisiveness in opinion is awesome, so once again we had a quick round-up of opinions about the film, and have put them up here for all to see, in a gallery.Īs usual, we let the writer of the review speak up first, so here is Pierce! But click through them all to see our opinions on the film. Others among us were decidedly less friendly towards it. So what did we make of it, here at Screen Anarchy? Our Pierce Conran did the official review, and his take was actually a very positive one which you can read here. Its box office so far is disappointing, culprits are sought, fingers pointed, and opinions differ. The fact that it stars Scarlett Johansson has in itself already been a source of much (dis)content. A huge-scale re-imagining of several beloved source materials, the film is literally surrounded by expectations and controversy.
I don't think we've ever featured a title more fit to be given a group-review than Rupert Sanders' live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell.
