Source Case Study: Ghost in the Shell Five years ago the movie called Ghost in the Shell, which was a live action remake of the Japanese franchise, released and received a huge backlash due to the fact that they casted an Asian character with a White woman, also known as Scarlett Johansson.   Ghost in the Shell was released in the 29th of March 2017.
