On first reading the info on the link I was a little taken aback. Yes, there is the potential for one of the best Sci-Fi franchises ever to go down the road of crappers like Aeon Flux and Ultra Violet.
But let’s think about this a little more.
Lets assume they get some flavor of the month hottie to play the major. She will, of course, be vapid and talentless and bring nothing to the roll. But, if they include the major’s side job into the plot…
Think about THIS in the yacht scene from the manga: http://cdn.maximonline.com/girls/eva_longoria_2/eva-longoria-2-gm_l3.jpg
I’ll let the guys marinade on that for a minute…
and thus we have a silver lining.

Blah!

Who would they get to play Boto? Huh?

God, if I only understood any of this. I’m stuck in the wayback machine, as the Ruler of Pong.

there’s an ancient tool, thought by the Sumarians to be the source of all knowledge. It’s called google.com.

You snarky! Me like!
Google, yes, but it still reads like hieroglyphics to someone who hasn’t played a video game since Frogger.
Uh, oh - am I going to be blacklisted now?

pst
It’s anime and manga (cartoons and comics) not video games.

See what I mean? I am a walking cry for help.

Ahhhhh…..Pay him no mind, considering he suggested a desperate housewife to play Major Kusanagi. Pfft.

Is that who she was?
I just picked some random Maxim cover T&A.
That’s how movie execs do it, right?

Eva Longoria. She appears in Desperate Housewives.
