Anticipation. Unlike other remakes, I doubt I will see black actors inserted into roles where they don't historically belong. The novel is so long that the 1980s miniseries left out a lot. I will be interested, especially, to see how the perspective of the Japanese is treated. 40 years later, we know much more about Japan now than we did then. Shogun through the lens of Clavell through the lens of the 21st century. Should be interesting. I last read it in 2015 and last watched the miniseries even before that. So the details are fuzzy enough for me to forgive a decent amount.
