Okay, well by now you have probably heard about the live action Cowboy bebop movie and have been wondering if Keanu reeves is the one, could he play the fluid role of Spike? Oh Great OT Tell me the answer.

I'd have to look at a picture of his portrayal of Spike before I decide to laugh my ass off.

They could have just cast a slab of concrete and saved a whole mess of money.

well by far cowboy beebop has been the best anime ever produced in my eyes and i dont' think a live action would change that but i mean if it's a good live action i think it would be good but yeah, keanu

I still have so many conflicting emotions about this movie. Reeves may just be able to pull it off. It's the writing, directing, and cinematography that really worries me. I don't know how well this will translate into live action.

He looks the part well enough, but Keanu's kind of a really wooden actor. . . .

Well here is a comparison pic

And a photoshop

He is a pretty decent actor, and actually is interested in the role (not just in it for the money.

I am hoping a movie trailer reveal for one of the anime movie adaptations at comic con.

I actually think he's not too bad a choice. He looks enough like Spike and Keanu has said he's a big fan of the show so maybe he will actually do decent. Of course we all know how well Hollywood has been doing with animated series adaptations recently...

okay if there's something i agree on is that bebop should be taken as a great classic like any marvel hero recognition. If they do that i'll watch the movie regaurdless if they tell me it was badly done

The movie has been in the works for years now. Keanu might make a decent Spike.

Keanu is a driving force behind the creation of this film. He wasnt cast in the role. He is the main person actively pushing for it. This gives me hope that he could do it justice. HOWEVER, last I heard (like 2 years ago) in a video interview with Keanu, was that there was an awesome script but it would cost Fox WAY too much to make. They were working on cutting it down, but i dunno. BTW, how do you cast Ed?

I just dont think there is a girl of the appropriate age that could pull it off w/o being incredibly annoying or uncomfortable to watch. I personally think Ed is one of the best characters ever, so I guess I have lofty standards for her.

Did they pick Keanu Reeves because he has a bit of an Asian resemblance? Joseph Gordon Levitt would have been cool too.

I dont think what happen to dbz will happen cowboy bebop. Kengi Uchida will not not let what happen to dragon ball happen to cowbo bebop. the scirpt is supposedly to $500 million. that could be a good thing I guess. I wish we could hear whats going with this movie at comic con. I do want to know whats going with the ghost in the shell live action too. its suppose to be based off the manga I think.
