13 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed (And Why)

13. Ghost In The Shell

Release Date: March 31, 2017

Why It's Doomed: For starters, it's a PG-13 live-action adaptation of a beloved R-rated anime, which already has a lot of fans sharpening their knives.

Sure, Scarlett Johansson is a solid choice for The Major (if you ignore all that whitewashing controversy) and some of the visuals look pretty swish, but it's difficult to imagine such a heady and frankly weird film translating well to a more casual western crowd.

With its clearly enormous production budget and a rather lackluster marketing campaign so far, this one seems destined to bomb with casual audiences, while the hardcore crowd will likely be turned off by the concessions made to broaden its appeal.
