Whitewashed Ghost in the Shell Adaptation Moves to Paramount, Is Unfortunately Still Happening

Recommended Videos

According to Variety, the Scarlet Johansson-starring Ghost in the Shell adaptation has “shifted from Disney to Paramount,” and has a release date of March 13th, 2017.

The film, which sparked a petition from fans demanding Dreamworks stop whitewashing Asian characters, also stars Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones‘ Euron Greyjoy).

Variety writes,

“Snow White and the Huntsman” helmer Rupert Sanders will direct the movie. Avi Arad and Steven Paul are producing, while Michael Costigan, Jeffrey Silver, Tetsu Fujimura and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa are exec producing.

The script will be written by Straight Outta Compton‘s Jonathan Herman.

Bah, humbug.
