I think Johannson is a lovely actress, and I enjoy seeing her in films, but I'm just not digging this. They look like cosplayers. With that said, I'd love it if the movie was actually good, and not a cheap cash in on the GitS license. I'm interested in seeing a trailer. I love the series, and I love cyberpunk, but I'm not confident that they'll make a compelling cyberpunk thriller with interesting social commentaries (that were distinctly Japanese in the mangas) about the future, and where we're headed as a species. That sounds pretentious as fuck, but GitS did it in such a stylish, visually compelling way. I'm expecting a Hollywood CGI smorgasbord of effects, that don't really evoke Shirow Masamune's beautiful work and tone.
Meh. I'm still withholding judgment, but I'm not expecting much.
