My favorite book, and I'm not sure I want this. If they fuck it up I'll have to hire a few Iranians...
At least they are making a TV series, a movie would've been a suicide.

No fucking way
I thought this book would never make it to the screen. Of course it will be DEI trash, so there is that. On the plus side it cant be worse than Johnny Mnemonic.

Just look on the bright side. When an adaptation is announced there is always the question, will it suck?

When they release casting like that it answers the question without wasting a single second watching it.

I just file it away like The Dark Tower: a book someone should have adapted to film but never has.

It's a shame no one ever made a movie sequel to Highlander. At least we got a legendary TV series out of it.

I know absolutely nothing about this comic(?), nor anything about the quality of any of the people cast in it; so the casting doesn't look that bad since it's set in the future. Outside of the hair she is far from the ugliest woman in current Hollywood and the only better looking black woman that I can think of is Zazie Beetz.

Apple has had decent luck getting good performances out of their actors, even if they skew all their shit woke, but there is no escaping that, if you are going to watch current media. Which is why over the last month I have re-watched Mad Men and Rome again, but that's another matter.

It’s a sci fi novel from the 80s. The problem people have with casting like this is they’ve read a book for decades and the author paints a picture of what that person looks like. It’s impossible to match everyone’s head description but people do get mad when it’s way out of line of the source material and especially mad when they’re just trying to push a DEI agenda.
