DEATHxxx50bmg Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 heard about the new cowboy bebop coming out. is that true. live action version of the anime would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm all for anything that would add to the Cowboy Bebop story line, but Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel just doesn't fit in my opinion. Keanu was awesome in the first matrix but the rest of his action movies pale in comparison. The idea of him playing an awesome character like Spike saddens me to no end, it'll be worse then a Ben Affleck Dare Devil.I put a link to an article I found on MTV's site.Cowboy Bebop Movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Steve Plum should do all the dialogue and have Keanu lip-synch.Also, I'm thinking Kim Beckinsale's look from the Underworld series would be the perfect choice for Faye. Either that or Sienna Guillory with the Resident Evil: Apocalypse look. Thoughts on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or Sienna Guillory with the Resident Evil: Apocalypse look. Thoughts on that? Out of the two, I personally would go with Kim over Sienna for Faye. I think when you are making a movie about a story that has already been well told, that it's best to use actors that the bulk of your audience have not heard of or know very little about. The best example I can think of is what George Lucas did with the prequel episodes of Star Wars. Lindsey Lohan or Tara Reid playing Padmé Amidala would of made an entirely different movie. Big name actors often get type casted for a specific roll and when you put them in a roll that doesn't follow that stereotype the audience can have a hard time relating. That's my biggest problem with a Keanu Reeves, Spike Spiegel.I guess it is possible for actors to brake out of those stereotypes like Jim Carrey did, but I personally just don't think Keanu is a good an actor to pull that off.

Kestrel Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well, that article you linked is a couple years old now, and I think Keanu isn't aging well enough to pull off a good Spike anyway. Not that he ever could. Spike is too chill, and Keanu is always too brooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 The thing is this movie is only even being considered because of Keenu pretty much flying to Japan and begging for it. If it is to be made he'd definitely be part of it since it'd only even be made because of him. While he is really pushing to get this into production it still doesn't necessarily mean they will ever make the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangingSquid Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah, id have to say that i lil against this movie, mainly because i don't feel that Keanu or any other actor could really portray Spike's fighting style without it seeming forced.

Arkandea Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 This could either be a gem or a disaster... heres hoping for something not as bad as Dragonball Evolution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways; with technology these days, movie producers can manipulate the camera and video to show us what we want to see, or they can completely botch it and destroy what we all know, love, and cherish.

His acting is no where near good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushidoSkeleton Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 At least if the movie gets alot of media attention there may be a new lot of anime to go with it... maybe like what they did with FMA Brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true too... but I don't think it can be helped considering he's like the only real reason the Live Action Film could ever see light; but even in that case I think I would cast my ballot for this film to not be made.At least if the movie gets alot of media attention there may be a new lot of anime to go with it... maybe like what they did with FMA Brotherhood.I kind of doubt that... Unless they try to make spin offs or something; I mean the creator specifically noted that Spike isn't exactly written off as Dead... or Alive.
