Ha ha, just kdding; I do wonder what the casting will turn out like. Hopefully they won’t completely westernize the movie; while westernization is a big part of American culture (the act of taking other cultures and taking a crap all over them), I suer hope they don’t take it over the top and get, you know, Miley Cyrus to play Kei, or Brad Pitt to play Kaneda, or Jack Black to play… anyone.

I also hope they stay true to the story and not ^@$*#%&(@%*Y%#! everything up due to budget issues; Oh, and about the actors, I really hope they at least try to get actors that fit the characters. I prey to god that Tetsuo is played by a rather younger teenager and Kaneda is played by a slightly older teenager; I want the general, or colonel, or whatever, to be in his middle ages, I want Kei to still have the same outfit (I would have completely lost track of her in the movie if it weren’t for her clothes), I want Kaori to be pretty without being perfect, and I want the green children to be played by real people and not just be freaking CG rejects from star wars: attack of the clones.

Well, if hollywood happens to be listening to this comment, I hope they actually listen… or at least aren’t getting ideas from it!
