... cartoon. Controversy aside, Johansson has proven her ability to drive ticket sales for major action vehicles in the past. After assisting the cast of multiple films set in the Marvel universe, the 32-year-old fronted the sci-fi flick Lucy  to $126.7 million in North America alone ($463.4 million worldwide) in 2014. While Ghost in the Shell  could reach such heights, industry expectations currently peg the film for a debut in the $20-30 million range from approximately 3,400 locations, which likely puts the $110 million production’s final figure between $70 and $90 million (with a heavy overseas turnout expected to carry its total grosses well past what it cost to make). 4 – Power Rangers – $18 million. After slightly exceeding expectations with an opening north of $40 million last weekend, Power Rangers  is poised for a steep decline across its sophomore run at the box office, as most tentpole actioners — especially those based on a pre-established franchise — tend to be ...

A Comprehensive Guide To The Ghost In The Shell Controversy

... title refers to human consciousness, and the “shell” is the cybernetic body. As for a modern retelling, the themes of the story—questions about what defines humanity as artificial intelligence grows increasingly prominent—continue to fascinate moviegoers (see: Ex Machina, Westworld, Black Mirror, Blade Runner 2049). The original movie adaptation, a Japanese animated film released in 1995, has a big following, including directors Lana and Lilly Wachowski, who the New York Times reports brought a copy along when they pitched The Matrix. And while the manga has spawned a second animated film, TV series and a handful of video games, it’s never been rendered as a live-action film. When did the controversy begin. Review: Scarlett Johansson Is a Haunting Riot Grrrl in Ghost in the Shell. Soon after Johansson’s casting was confirmed in January 2015, fans launched a petition ...

Ghost In The Shell Looks Great, But Rings Hollow

... which puts Baldwin’s voice inside its pint-sized protagonist, should be a safe bet, right? Unfortunately, as we’ve seen all too often in this space, what looks great on paper can be a painful ordeal on the screen, and critics say this movie — inspired by Marla Frazee’s board book of the same name — offers yet another example. The premise, just fine for a short story, suffers from being stretched to feature length, and screenwriter Michael Mc Cullers fills the gap with all the scatological humor one might fear from a 3 D animated movie about a baby with a briefcase. The youngsters in your life will probably want to see it — and they might very well laugh themselves silly — but the reviews point to a nominally kid-friendly film with little to offer older chaperones.

The Viral Campaign That Backfired Spectacularly

... world of far-right japes. Others include the memes concerned with identity politics – which often go viral and lose their original meaning – as well as duller iterations, such as memes for people who really like going to the gym. But there are some fledgling fringe meme themes – the alternative music genres of the meme world, if you like – that are becoming increasingly popular, proof of how memes are currently the most fertile ground for creativity and innovation. @gothshakira, for instance, makes slightly satirical, intersectional feminist memes, often posting reaction shots of celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez with long and verbose captions referencing race, gender and astrology in a way that points out the reductiveness and simplicity of most meme text. Then there are wholesome memes, a subgenre of memes that promote uplifting, po-faced and really nice sentiments as part of a self-conscious rejection of the bitchiness and self-denigration combo the form favours so often. It’s still early days for this most modern of mediums, but it is slowly ...

Is Scarlett Johansson's Casting In Ghost In The Shell Whitewashing

... was very Japanese in look and tone (Picture: Getty). Yet recent Oscar-winner Emma Stone played a half-Chinese, half-Hawaiian character in the abysmal Aloha, which she was criticised for. Cultural appropriation is rife in the movie world, especially when the dominance of white males in the Hollywood machine tends to stifle genuine diversity – 2015’s #Oscars So White was a prime example. Ghost In The Shell is quintessentially a Japanese film. Set in the fictional Japanese city of Niihama, aka New Port City, it was made by Japanese filmmaker Mamoru Oshii, with Japanese characters, in a distinct Japanese setting, created with traditionally Japanese animation techniques. Its creator, Masamune Shirow, was born in Kobe, Japan. However, here, the fictional, futuristic city the story is set in is devoid of Asian inspiration. Johansson is not Japanese (Picture: Getty). Instead, ...

Hollywood's Mischievous Vision Of Ai

... if veterans could overcome their PTSD by “forgetting” battles or if abuse victims could “unexperience” traumas. Like any new technology, of course, it would be up to us to decide how to use it responsibly to help rather than harm. The film inspired me to think more about the nature of memory, and how unlocking its mysteries could help us better understand our own behaviors and motivations. Yann Le Cun , director of Facebook AI Research and founding director of the New York University Center for Data Science. I think one that reflects what might well happen, although not exactly, is Her. There’s no major blatant mistakes that I saw in that movie. Of course, we’re extremely far from having technology that’s shown in the movie. We don’t have truly intelligent machines, and I don’t know how long it will take for us to get anywhere near that. But the idea that you would have a personal virtual assistant that you interact with, and with whom you have a relationship like a digital friend—that is something that is actually fairly realistic. Then there’s a list of movies that depict all kinds of crazy stuff that there’s no way in hell will happen. That’s pretty much every movie that ...
