I agree, Keanu “could” do well as Spike. But Spike is either 24 or 26 years old.

its not whether it will do “good”, its whether it will be a movie that captures our imagination and admiration

Plus, Ali Larter would just look out of place. Shes as blonde and as white as can be. With the other Asian cast members she would completely be distracting.

Even though its a Japanese series, the characters are obviously white. Why do you want all Asians?

oh yeah. Dragonball is way more popular than Cowboy Bebop in terms of sheer numbers and sheer numbers is what studios and producers look for. We can all agree that Dragonball was a… FAIL! harcore, disgusting FAIL. Thanks FOX, thanks for watering down everything good and artsitic.

therfore, since Fox is making Cowboy Bebop,

its going to FAIL!

All i have to say is that Cowboy Bebop is the best Anime series ever made. The style, Yoko Kanno’s choice of music, the characters, even the American voice actors – EVERYTHING was professionally done with true devotion to creating a believable and engaging viewing experience.

Don’t get me wrong… I’ve loved Keanu from the day i saw Point Break as a kid. BUT, he is NOT for this role. Even if he did pull off not doing the whole surfer dude, (the WHOA!, the confused blank stares as he tries to comprehend unbelievable circumstances, or the extremely stiff and concentrated face he makes when the rest of his body is in motion fighting an enemy) and played Spike to the last fragment of body language… he’s still too old.

Just because Spike doesn’t talk very much and stands against walls smoking cigarets, he is VERY animated at times. To pull this duality of a former bad ass killer and wild young man turned wallflower loner, will be a difficult task for any actor. Im just saying, Keanu would have to dig deep into his acting ability and perform the BEST he ever has before to even give Spike a decent chance at making Americans AND Japanese fans BELEIVE in the future world of our solar system.

OH… I’ve thought about making Cowboy Bebop into a live action film ever since i saw it on Adult Swim. To do this masterpiece justice, the director would basically have to adopt all of the camera techniques used in the series, locations (or locations that are not landmarks, which would destroy the feel of the movie), use the same soundtrack and songs at the same places as the series, or at least pay Yoko Kanno to do this all over again with new music of her choice.

Basically what im saying is that their going to water-down and americanize the movie, until it defiles the original masterpiece.
