espanolbot: The saga of the mysteriously white Ghost in the Shell movie continues, with Batou (the second protagonist in a lot of the franchise, even becoming the main one in the second animated movie) seemingly being cast as Danish actor Pilou Asbaek. Hrrm. Asbaek co-starred with Scarlet Johansson in the movie Lucy, which also had some infamous… issues with Asian people. Y’know if they weren’t going to bother to give a Japanese/East Asian actress the opportunity to star as the main character they could have at least tried to hire one to play Batou. Just saying. Could have been worse, I guess. Could have hired Tom Cruise. Additionally irritating as a theatrical play of Ghost in the Shell: Arise is coming out in Japan soon. -- source link
