I never saw the original Crow movie, and I wonder how many people outside the cult classic scene would have seen it at all if not for this remake. Some things gain a cult following that persists and spans generations and some things don’t.
Because that’s the case I think that whole Ghost in the Shell is a very emphatic and real commentary on new technology and how we perceive our own humanity, I don’t know how many people know much about it or have even seen the original movie, and I wonder if it will have the staying power for new generations without this same kind of new media to renew the story to other audiences. It’s kind of important to recognize that not every audience is the same or finds the same topics and media consumable.

So I think you make a pretty good point here.
