Only someone who isn't Japanese would ever possibly think that. Lol.
Luckily they're not remaking Wolf Children, just some popular Shinkai film.
Doesn't everything online distress you? You should chill more. They're just games and cartoons yo.
Keep the core premise but make massive changes to make this work.
It's too anime for it to work if they stick too closely to the material.
Changing it to a Native American female works, I guess, but they should've cast an Asian-American/Hispanic-American for the male role.

The base story is guy and girl change lives now and then. At it's core, that's a pretty basic concept.
You've got a girl who is embarrassed/ridiculed by continuing the traditions passed down her family with the story leading up to a cultural festival. How can that not be transported to other cultures.
Then why bother remaking it with the same title instead of calling it freaky friday 2
Because it will probably keep some of the other story beats, including something similar for the climax.
Does it matter? Infernal Affairs is a uniquely Hong Kong story, and a strong aesthetic that cannot be replicated in another setting. But at the core it's about trust, betrayal, loyalty, and one's sense of justice. It was remade into an American film set in America without any Chinese flavor or element.
It won Best Picture.
Just remake The Lake House, it's basically the same thing and already has white people

Probably won't be a metor in this one
Yes, they can probably place this in Texas or Florida with the time travel/mind switching capability via the power of jesus. I can definitely see that possibility.
XD
You said it won't be a Japanese thing in response to someone who said the guy should be Japanese-American.
It seems like you misinterpreted what Yams said more than the other way around lol.
The film doesn't currently have a name. It will likely not be called "Your Name" but something else.
Going by America's standard for size, it will be a comet XD
Soundtrack by Aerosmith.
Yeah? My question was why would the ethnicity be brought forward to this movie that set in a different context? Why not chinese-american, why not xx-american? IMO if it's just an adaptation it should cut loose these strings from the source.
I'll keep my hopes up for an Alaskan girl if set in America only. You want to make it rural may as well go all the way north.
You can drop the freaking asteroid there for sure.
Because it would be a cool little nod to the source material?
They already have a Native American girl apparently. You want two minorities as leads??? But then how will people relate
I guess. Not opposed to it but you know viewers are going to compare it YN even more stringently if that happens.
I know, it would be nice though. It's just not a great look if they go with a white dude. There's a lot of baggage there and I doubt the movie will talk about that aspect with any seriousness.
I'm not even invested in this movie. I just think it would be cool if they cast an Asian American lead in a story that's based on Asian material, since we've had to look at so much whitewashing in Hollywood. They even whitewashed actual Asian American people that are still alive lol.
When I read that they're looking for an Asian or part Asian male to play Spike Spiegel I was pleasantly surprised. They didn't have to do that, but it was really nice that they did.
Asteroid has the flexibility of not depending on geography so it gives them freedom in terms of setting and what specific Native American culture to use, that said, a less extraordinary event could also help the story if set in America.
I would actually be intrigued to see what they come up with if they tried to rewrite the whole thing to the point that they make it a mixed period piece like True detective with an actual natural tragedy. But I don't think there are any really big disaster of the scale in the US recent history.

Kinda boring they went with the most obvious solution anyway. I don't think mystical elements are really needed at all
no it is not. It's set in Japan, that's about it.
What?
I mean it could be
American city boy Japanese country girl
American city girl Japanese country boy
Or the opposite I guess
I guess at least a wildfire

Honestly, yeah. It's a major problem I have with the original - and I hoped a remake would take additional steps to work through it.
Instead, they just seem to be copy-pasting the original into the US. Shame.
I'm making a prediction on the casting of the main lead actress:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2080328/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t1
Kelsey Asbille
- from the movie Wind River

Even with the Spider-Man movies, I used to be head be over the heels about Marc Webb because of 500 Days of Summer. I loved that movie BUT I am starting to look less fondly of it as the years go by surprisingly
Oh man if this happens, I won't be able to unsee the messed up shit from that movieKelsey Asbille

Ehhhh, the original hardly has anything that can't be replicated with live action. I think people are getting dangerously fixated to the thinking that original Japanese work is sacred

There are ANIME parts of Your Name that would thankfully be gone in a US remake
Don't think I'd support takingmainly because that thing provided a lot of the visual charmthe comet/meteor out of the equation
That's wasted potential if you discard that for a live action adaptation
fuck me, just looking at these (relative to movie) poor quality gifs made my hair stand on end.
what a gorgeous movie
