Cowboy Bebop...THE LIVE ACTION MOVIE?!!

**Ladd_Russo** · 03-10-2010 11:34 PM

That's right folks! Bebop is goin' Hollywood! But don't put on your dancing shoes and high hats just yet. It's confirmed that the project is being spearheaded by Keanu Reeves, who will also play the part of Spike Speagal, other than that the cast is still open. Now, the original creators and producers of the original anime will be acting as supervisors, but it is unconfirmed whether Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts are attached to do the music. Personally, I'm gonna' hold my tongue 'til I see the final product, but I dunno' if Reeves is gonna' pull off Speagal's level of "cool" y'know? What are your thoughts? Who do you think could pull off the supporting cast of Faye, Jet, Ed, and Vicious? Lemmie hear it peoples!

Keanu isn't amazing enough to be Spike... If he does an amazing Spike, however, I might love him. A lot. oo;

But so far, besides the JAPANESE live-action Death Note, any live actions of big time anime like that don't end well.

Well, Keanu Reeves DOES resemble Spike in some ways, so I guess he can pull off Spike's look. I have my doubts with the acting part, though. I mean, Keanu is eye-candy, alright, but he isn't exactly the best actor out there. I do hope he does a good job, though, since I would hate to see Spike's character massacred on the big screen. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hmm, I think he might be able to pull off Spike....at least I really hope so, lol. As for the rest of the cast, I really have no idea who could play them, but what interests me most is who they will pick to play as Ed! I can think of no one that would really be able to pull off her crazy personality so I can't wait to see who they decide on.
