I am happy to see anything of more GitS. I guess we'll see how it all plays out...as I know there are a lot of fans who aren't thrilled about this....particularly what licenses DreamWorks will take to the story...particularly in light of their poor treatment of the US DVD release of Innocence years ago.
There has been an online petition garnering so far 28k signatures just short of the goal of 29k...regarding the choice of DreamWorks to cast Scarlett Johansson, a non-Asian for the role of Motoko Kusanagi.

My guess is that they feel they need a big name star as a draw (well, don't they always?).
The brother of one of my friends is the costume designer for this film. He also did the costume design for Mockingjay, and I have high hopes that the GitS designs will look as cool (although appropriate to GitS, of course).

Pleasepleaseplease get him access to the original source materials if he is not already looking. New is good, but "new" is a direction and it needs a starting point.Jeff Georgeson wrote:The brother of one of my friends is the costume designer for this film.

People tend to look at you a little strangely when they know you stuff voodoo dolls full of Ex-Lax.
