Keanu Reeves to star in live action Cowboy Bebop m

Post by larch »

Image

In a recent interview with MTV the actor Keanu Reeves revealed that Twentieth Century Fox now has a screenwriter developing a plot for the live action feature film based on the 1998 cult classic anime television series Cowboy Bebop. Keanu explained that the intent of the film adaptation of the original show is to bring episodes like, “Red Eye” and the TV series climax to life on the big screen. With the other episodes making up the “body” of the live action movie. Reeves did not mention any plans to appear in the film himself, but I have a nagging suspicion that we will hear some more regarding this shortly. It is no coincidence that Reeves manager Erwin Stoff is directing this movie and that Reeves made this announcement himself.

Yip, it was pretty much predicted when Erwin announced it. Everyone went from oooh :) to ahhh :( . I wish more Directors would do what JJ Abrams do, he uses good actors that is reletivaly unknown. That makes the movies more real.
Using an actor that you've seen in so many other movies just brings the movie down.
But I do suppose if he grows his hair more he does knid of look like Spike...

Well if there is one person who can fully embody the ultimate boringness of Anime, it is Keanu Reeves.

The only person who has acting capabilities to portray the role of spike almost perfectly is prob johny depp, but he looks nothing like spike.

I agree Spike was never a clown sure he did fool around but most of not all the times we saw his serious side, I think he would make a perfect Spike

Yeh, true. Although im sure they could have found a person who looks a bit more like him?
I cant view the image, dont seem to have access to the attachment/section where the attatchment is.

I havent seen the anime so I cant really say too much more as I dont know how the character act's and his personality.
Well, we'll see how successful it is once its out :D

Oh i will watch it purely to drool over Reeves :D

Mind, if i'm honest, i think that Johnny Depp will be better in the role... But who knows, perhaps Reeves will surprise us all - and using him will probably bring out non-anime watchers to the movie.
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Yes, that describes Spike to a T :roll:

Actually it describes former forum member and militant Zionist Zell to a T.

Pics or you never happened.

Apparantly this movie is still coming out. They had to redo the storyline since it was estimated to cost $500 million !?
