'Ghost in the Shell' Producers Reportedly Tested Visual Effects
That Would Make White Actors Appear Asian:
"After the backlash surrounding Johansson's role in the film, producers
reportedly attempted to quell the controversy with an old standby Hollywood uses
to fix a lot of problems: CGI.
According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and
DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would've altered Scarlett
Johansson in post-production to "shift her ethnicity" and make the Caucasian
actress appear more Asian in the film."
