I saw pictures today from the American remake. The characters just don't look right for some reason
Know exactly what you mean.
I'm quite biased though, as I really think Sam Witwer is a dreadful actor. He's fine for a game like Star Wars TFU, but when he tries to properly act, like Smallville or BSG, it's just terrible.
One saving grace is the excellent Mark Pelligrino playing Bishop - he was just awesome as Lucifer in Supernatural.
I don't know much of the other 2 actors, but it just doesn't look right.
