  Sounds a little off to me... and they are getting Zhang Zi Yi to play the part of Sayuri Nitta, with Gong Li and a few others as well...weird that they do not get native japanese to do it...

  You know, i rather have some real japanese acting out with subtitles provided than to have some actress stuggling to speak in english. The whole thing just seems so unnatural.
