Dear DreamWorks Studios,

As moviegoers and fans of the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell film, we respectfully request that you cast an actress of Japanese descent for the lead role of Motoko Kusanagi rather than Scarlett Johansson.

The American film industry is already unfriendly to Asian actors without roles in major films being changed to exclude them. One recent survey found that in 2013, Asian characters made up only 4.4% of speaking roles in top-grossing Hollywood films.

Please use this opportunity to help talented Asian-American actors receive recognition for their work. There are so few opportunities for them to shine in Hollywood, and this film would be a perfect platform.

GIVEAWAY ALERT!

I have teamed up with some Calgary crafters to bring you TWO AWESOME PRIZES this holiday season!  We are giving way:

A pair of “Rose Gold Sparkle Stud Mini’s” by CoutuKitsch

A Jewelry Travel Pouch by Cinder & Sage in your choice of style and colour!

I purchased both of these items for myself at a local craft fair last month, and I love them!  Thank you to Dorian of CoutuKitsch and Lindsay of Cinder & Sage for offering these lovely handcrafted items as prizes for my readers!
