Aside from being white I don't think that ScarJo is all that bad of a casting choice, from what I remember seeing in the various animes Kusanagi isn't exactly the most emotional of people and if there's one thing that ScarJo excels at that is playing the unemotional type. All you have to do is look at all of her roles from her first outing as Black Widow on and you'll see that she's beginning to make a career, if not a name, for herself by playing these unemotional type of characters, I'd even go as far as to say that she's pretty much type cast as the unemotional, woman of action now a days.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm going to have to disagree. I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to GITS but I've watched enough to know that it is A LOT more than just an action series. The higher level of dialogue in conjunction with it's complex world-building alone is something I can tell you for a fact that any live action film will completely gloss over with over the top-action and less-than thought provoking story telling. The fact that they're going with Johansson as the main character, someone who's not even Asian, says enough as it is, and how the rest of the film will be.
This film is already doomed. This will be essentially what Michael Bay did to transformers and TMNT.
