Oh no.
Keanu Reeves Eager To Do ‘Something Good’ With ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Movie

MTV: "Take a look at this clip and you’ll get an idea of why Reeves is not only a perfect-looking fit for Spiegel, but also why he thinks the most important person on the set will be the one trying to translate the series’ unique look."

I really hope the new Star Trek movie does well, so John Cho can be our new default Asian guy and Keanu can be put out to pasture. Spike needs somebody who can *slouch* convincingly.

Perfect looking fit? He doesn't look like Spike at all!

The rest of the article doesn't make me excited about this movie either. Focusing on the Red Eye is not a bad idea but they'll probably leave out Vicious and Julia and everything I really liked about the show. :/

Nrgh.

If Keanu Reeves is a "perfect-looking fit for Spiegel" then Zac Efron goddamn better be Kira.

I am clearly behind on my geek news, and thus I am stuck on this:

Keanu Reeves is playing Spike Speigel? In what universe is that appropriate casting?!

QUOI?

My confusion is twofold:

a) they're making a live action Cowboy Bebop movie?
b) why the fuck is Keanu Reeves involved?

No, wait. Threefold.

c) why the FUCK are they making a live action Cowboy Bebop movie?

OH HELLS NO!@!@#$#!

Ahem, sorry..

Still, this.. this. Fuck, I have no words for how bad an idea this is. I mean, live-action could be done well, but Mr. Whoa? As Spike?! Are they going to cast Jack Black as Ed? Tara Ried as Faye? Sam Jackson as Jet?!!

...

Ok, I could go for that last one.

But the real question is, would they still use Yoko Kanno's music for it or, yaknow, go with someone crappy and wildly innapropriate?

Oh please no. I don't even know much about Keanu Reeves, to be fair, but there's just no need for a live-action Bebop.

Keanu Reeves. He hates us and is determined to destroy us, one fandom at a time.
And yet.. as horrible as it is.. I'd still see a Bebop movie. I'd probably weep and have my final fangirl breakdown during the opening credits, but I bet I'd see it.

What is this new ANIMATION AS LIVE ACTION thing? Is is that hard for Hollywood to find, I dunno, NEW MATERIAL? …Wait, I think I answered my own question.

Seriously, what happened to BOOKS, guys?

I do think that Bebop has potential in live-action. Maybe.

But I do think Reeves is a terrible, terrible choice.

I wish Anime (and especially Cowboy Bebop) would go back to being a "cult" following type thing. I am beyond disturbed by this! :(

Alright, so there's plenty of cool material from Japan. But couldn't they take stuff where the anime wasn't already so friggin good? Or try to keep the things that originally made it good, perhaps? Or something except to churn out more and more CRAP

Being something akin to the film anti-Christ, I both want to see a Cowboy Bebop live action flick and like Keanu Reeves.

And yet... no. Keanu, couldn't you just produce, for God's sake? Please? Or at least play someone who is so completely not you? Even you as Vicious or, I don't know, Gren would be better.

I'm now picturing Keanu as Spike in the Ballad of Fallen Angels sequence. Heeee!

And I dunno. I like Keanu; he just tries so hard, and I can see myself being sufficiently amused.
