Trivia
Angry fans
Fans of the manga and anime complained for the choice of Scarlett Johansson for the main role instead of an asiatic actress.
Game of Thrones
Three of the cast members have also taken part in 'Game of Thrones'. This includes Pilou Asbæk (Euron Greyjoy), Joseph Naufahu (Khal Moro) and Rila Fukushima (a Red Priestess).
The Geishas
The Geisha's featured in many of the films trailers wore physical full head Masks, created by Weta Workshop, modelled after Japanese Actress Rila Fukushima. Even the opening or 'exploding' of the Geisha's heads was handled mechanically rather than by using CGI.
