5 annoyingly brief trailers creates more clicks than 1 long trailer!

Although I never really was as worked up over supposed "whitewashing" as everyone else, after seeing the trailer I'm a little concerned too. I figured they would have set the story somewhere else if they were going to use non-Asian actors. But they chose the one route guaranteed to make the most people skittish -- leaving it in Japan and asking us to just pretend Scarlett is Asian. That was kinda dumb.
But it still looks awesome. I just hope there's some snark and a dash of humor/wit to balance out the serious tone of the trailer.

Maybe it's set in a future where Japanese people have genetically modified themselves to look white for some reason.

With Paramount’s live-action version of Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson readying for its late-March bow, Lionsgate is getting into the action by teaming with Funimation Films to return the original 1995 anime film to the big screen. The iconic, Mamoru Oshii-directed pic that helped introduce the genre to a wide U.S. audience will hit 110 theaters on February 7-8, the companies said today, with both the original Japanese version with subtitles and the English dub to be offered.
In conjunction with the limited run, Lionsgate also is prepping a deluxe Blu-ray and DVD collector’s edition of the remastered original beginning March 7.
Paramount’s Ghost in the Shell, directed by Rupert Sanders, hits theaters March 31.

I have no special interest in it beyond ScarJo being a hot robot.
