Well in the original anime the character was Motoko Kusanagi, she spoke Japanese and to me personally I've always associated her with a Japanese character (ala Goku in Dragonball, Naruto in Naruto, Ichio Kurosaki in Bleach, etc).
By casting Johansen (obviously within their right to do so), and still sticking with the Motoko Kusanagi name feels a bit odd to me. It would be like getting Brad Pitt to play Ichigo in a Bleach movie, or getting Eliahjah Wood to play Naruto.
It will still be something I look forward to, but I just think Hollywood missed an opportunity here to break the trend and go with a Japanese lead actress and be a bit more true/authentic to the original anime.
All those characters look white though.
Yeah but like Hekate said that's just the art style/rendering. Intrinsically we associated Ichigo and Naruto as Japanese, no?
Or do you think they're Europeans?
I think they are cartoon characters and people getting mad about a live-action interpretation of characters are being over dramatic.
LOL .. I'm not 'mad', I'm just a bit disappointed.
Didn't you read what I said? I said I'm still gonna look forward to it, just feels like a missed opportunity.

Yes, this. I just finished the series. I can't wait. Elba will be awesome in the role as the gunslinger. I'm watching Luther right now and it is just him. I did notice that there isn't anyone credited to be Susannah or Eddie...do they not get pulled through the doors this time? No drawing of three?
I also saw that they are going to make a tv series based off the books...which is cool, seeing how the movie is supposed to be a sequel to the books.

TMK, the movie is not a sequel to the books. It is simply starting somewhere in book three or four, and integrating certain things from the previous books that the viewer may need to know, or some ****. I never read the books.

Don't Breathe was also solid.

King tweeted out that it's a sequel. I understood his tweet after I recently finished the last book.
I think it's a good idea if done right. You don't need to know the whole story to understand the sequel but will be fun for the fans and you can make the story fresh without angering too many people...
Unless they do what MTV did to the Shanarra story. That was awful.

It was a really good movie.
Murder on a Sunday Morning
Just stumbled upon this last night and didn't know what to expect. I've seen quite a few of these now 'The Thin Blue Line', 'Making a Murder', 'The Jinx', 'Central Park Five', 'OJ Made in America, etc, (BTW if you haven't seen any of those I highly recommend all of them), so I didn't think this was going to be any different.
Boy, oh boy, was I wrong. This was a much simpler documentary than those mentioned, but it had the most emotional impact on me as a person. By far. It had something all the other documentaries I believe lack - a Heart. It kept building up, and building up, and by the end I was literally in tears as the verdict was being read.
One of the best documentary of this type and one that I will remember for a very long time.
Watch it and tell me what you think. (I believe it's on Youtube now)

Making a Murderer was so damn good.
I'm editing this post to get rid of all of the spoilers but would love to have a discussion with anyone who's watched it.
It really opens up your eyes and may even make you value life a little more. It's 10 episodes all around an hour long. Start it if you are looking for something to watch. You won't regret it.

Gotta try Cop Car, seems like a role tailored for Kevin Bacon.
