SO WHAT IF IT COULD BE SEX.......IN ANOTHER CITY.
That's when it hit me: TOKYO!
Forget Paris, Carrie did that once it was a disaster and involved dog poo. They tried the Middle East and it just didn't go to well, especially for Samantha. So why not go further east? Europe may have all the fine strappings and this is after all, 2017 we're talking. Lots of things have happened in a span of 10 years: America had a Biracial President, then did a 360 with the Donald; so anything goes, right?
Plus, I've been a huge fan of cross-cultural Hollywood (mind you, NOT WHITE WASHED) films. The Last Samurai is so Meiji Era so we'll skip that.
But seeing how well-put The Wolverine and Lost in Translation was, I'm dying to see (that is if it ever comes around) that movie with Dan Radcliffe called Tokyo Vice.
Plus there was a rather decent tho utterly droll remake of Godzilla (but just to be fair, at least it's not an iguana! Thank goodness for that deleted option); why not focus on a country that fascinates the world; of course there are stereotypes, but wouldn't it be nice to also bring to light the cultures/subcultures and quirks of Tokyo because it is after all, a city with its own personality.
In the time of the nearing 2020 Tokyo Olympics, revival of The Legend of Zelda, The Mario Brothers, it's no surprise that mainstream has come to accept Japan as part of its integral being. Especially for Millenials and the young generation of kids who are hooked to their Playstations, Nintendos, so why not?
Why Not Expand a New Franchise and breathe in new life, new characters, new ways for diversity in the one homogenous city that just will never quit: TOKYO!
