fucking Christ. If this is retarded like dragonball I am going to be seriously pissed.
I also don't think keanu reaves would be good for this role. Who do you think would be better? Just to start some discussion. Maybe we can get it changed!
I am drawing blanks so far. I can't really think of many actors with spikes demeanor.

they couldve at least gotten someone who knew some type of martial art, cause y'know, there is bound to be some hand to hand combat scene and those were really the best in bebop.

who could do it better:

brad pitt
orlando bloom
johnny depp

with a twist: hugh grant
with a twist of blackness: will smith


of course christian bale would be awesome at it. if you look at his character in american psycho i think its a lot similar to spike, sans some of the mental shit.

At least its not gonna be worse than Dragonball :O On a sidenote whats up with Keanu Reaves he is a real dissapointment when he acts in new movies like The Day The Earth Stood Still. IT WAS CRAP. pfffffff.
Terran in particular is a notoriously strong race for a no brain skillhand bot style.

I think brad pitt maybe. He doesn't have the build like Spike, but his character persona could match up nicely.

Hell fucking no to christian Bale. He is incredibly monotone and lacks the humor and character of spike spiegel.

Orlando bloom has a dumb accent.

Johnny Depp? maybe.

Honestly if they extended on the anime, that would be a terrible idea, especially after all these years.

^ No Bloom, hes a fucking pussy. In Troy, he was casted a pussy, Kingdom of Heaven, supposed to be hardcore but turned out pussy.

Hollywood should just leave this anime alone and go ruin something else. Like dragonball.





wait

yeah.. much in the spirit of the previous posts i think keanu will definitely not depict the spike that we all know and love onto the big screen; but its not to say he wont bring a memorable performance... albeit its highly improbable imo lol.
meh i still like keanu though, he's not as bad as people say though, one thing he has going for him is he has a high understanding of technical camera acting, which not all actors possess.

Yeah.....Idk how things like this happen, but why ruin a classic. I mean isn't watanabe's style to leave stories once they are finished? Besides he was so adamant about being ' done ' with the bebop universe its weird that he's going along with this. [ I would assume hollywood needs the rights from him ]

The music, the environment, the characters, the story [ the last 2 episodes omg ] its just all seemingly impossible to translate into a real-life story. This is by far my favorite anime.

But on a side note, I have no idea why people bandwagon on the ' Keanu Reeves is a bad actor ' train. He's really not that bad of an actor. I mean sure he won't fit the role of Spike and he plays similar stoic roles in a span of movies but that doesn't mean he's a bad actor. Are you gonna say Morgan Freeman is bland because he plays the token black old guy? Or Michael Caine? Keanu is the protagonist in the Matrix. The fucking matrix, remember that.

reeves is a really bad actor.

he makes his living on being completely oblivious to everything in the film - nuance, metaphor, etc. but he's at least predictable. good directors know this, and actively exploit his empty vessel style of acting. it's very...post modern.

by the way this is the WORST FUCKING NEWS OF ALL TIME.

What makes it worse is that a hallmark characteristic of Spike is his awareness of everything

I've only seen a few episodes of Cowboy Bebop so this doesn't concern me greatly, but I told my friend, who's a bit of a fan, about this and that Keanu Reeves would be the star. His reaction was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Cowboy Bebop wasn't even that good lol. I don't know why it's ranked so high, just because it has an awesome dub?

well, if keanu reeves is spike then this probably wont have anything to do with cowboy bebop aside from the name and space ships.

I watched it in both Japanese with subs and English; I actually think the English voice actors did a better job overall. Faye sounds like a school girl in the Japanese version; The english voice actress seems to give a more mature vibe. Oh, and the guy who voices Spike is one the best English voice actors around; I can't remember his name right now; but he's in quite a few english dubs.




Also, Keanu is fine to work with Kong-Fu; he was in the Matrix after all, and those fight scenes were quite nice looking. I'm actually optimistic about this production; I can't really say its going to be epic fail like dragoonball is destined to be quite yet. We'll see in time.
