well, it IS a science fiction movie. Maybe in the future, LA doesn't have 24 hour gridlock or... apparantly, asian male actors.
maybe we'll get lucky and they'll cast a white actress thats 1/4 chinese or something to play Kei. But then again, we need a good strong white man to truly show an asian woman what a real man is, so maybe they'll rewrite Kei to be a diminutive appeasing neo-geisha who's abused by her evil asian dad and wimp-nerd mysogynist boyfriend. But then she meets the cool white guy with the japanese name he can't pronounce and his strange friend "uh-key-ruh" and they go off and have grand adventure and kill the evil asian general bent on using his giant sky laser to destroy the good'ol United States! At the end, maybe she can squeal and jump up and down in a kimono and say, "yay white people!"
