The Perfect Casting

How so?You don't thin an academy award winner could pull of Cybersix.

No, it's just that your Cybersix choices are limited to actresses who have previously worn tight-fitting costumes in action adventure roles (think outside the box a little), Pitt is too small, and none of your choices for Von Reichter are old enough and none even remotely resemble the character. Cybersix should be played by someone very thin and agile (she's quick and strong through genetic engineering, not from working out in a secret gym...she's not Batman, plus she has to be able to pass as a young man, hello, none of your choices could do that believably), Lucas should be played by someone very tall and bulky (although Pitt has the right feel, he's too short and thin), Von Reichter should be played by someone much older who won't require massive prosthetics. If he weren't already dead and it weren't typecasting, I would suggest Ernest Thesiger as Von Reichter. But I could see Ian McKellan or Geoffrey Rush in the role.

Anyway, it's all moot. A live-action version has already been done twice. The first was Cybersix (1995), which flopped after one season. The second was the uncredited ripoff Dark Angel (2000).
