Report: Did Anime Adaptation 'Ghost in the Shell' Try to 'Shift' ScarJo's Ethnicity?
FUSE TV - Report: Did Anime Adaptation 'Ghost in the Shell' Try to 'Shift' ScarJo's Ethnicity?
When Scarlett Johansson was cast as the lead in the upcoming screen adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, many fans of the popular manga series were outraged: The character, Major Motoko Kusanagi, is Asian; Johansson is not. It's another instance of Hollywood casting putting the act of "whitewashing" into practice. Apparently the furor that sprung up following the casting of Emma Stone as a biracial Pacific Islander/Chinese woman in 2015's indisputable flop Aloha fell on deaf ears.
Now the outrage behind ScarJo's casting reaches a whole new level of WTF following the release of the film's first image: Multiple sources told ScreenCrush that Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks sought out special effects company Lola to conduct a series of tests that would potentially "shift the ethnicity" of Johansson to make her features appear more Asian in the film.
