I'm not the least bit worried about that either.<br /><br />It really is of no consequence. Making the lead an Asian actress simply doesn't matter.<br /><br />Rinko Kikuchi could have been a Caucasian in Pacific Rim. She was terrific but it would not have been that significant to me. We don't hear people running around demanding roles for Caucasians.<br /><br />It's not THIS story that rubs me the wrong way. It's the constant beat of the race drum on almost every issue today.<br /><br />That is tiresome and damaging.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-31987459966844313182015-03-31T22:01:19.202-04:002015-03-31T22:01:19.202-04:00I gotta say this whole thing isn't rubbing me ...I gotta say this whole thing isn't rubbing me the wrong way the same way it is for you. I understand why folks are upset. But at the same time I see where the studio is coming from. The casting makes perfect sense.<br /><br />It just seems like a missed opportunity to get an asian actress a great role. That is the only downside I see. But I'm not letting it ruin my day. <br /><br />I'm more worried that they final product is going to end up bad and causing the GITS franchise to loose some of it's luster (kinda like the Star Wars prequels). That is a bigger concern in my book.Roman J. Martelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545497713474664555noreply@blogger.com
