Japanese disaster movie casts realistic robot
Geminoid F, the world's first android actress, is among the stars of a new Japanese nuclear disaster film, Sayonara.
She does press interviews, she's got her own IMDB page, and her resume includes stage acting — but Geminoid F is nothing like her fellow actors. For starters: she's an android. An incredibly realistic-looking one.

For insight on this unusual casting decision, and what it might mean for the acting industry more generally, Shad checks in with Gizmodo staff writer Bryan Lufkin.
