Keanu attached to Cowboy Bebop movie
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Thursday, January 15, 2009
Cowboy Bebop is finally moving toward becoming a live-action movie from 20th Century Fox. Perhaps feeling good about the $80 million domestic take that its most recent sci-fi product, the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, has netted, Fox is planning on making its Cowboy Bebop pic with Keanu Reeves as its leading man.
Reeves is now attached to play Spike Spiegel, the leader of a group of futuristic bounty hunters plying their trade across the solar system after space travel has been made commonplace. The film is based on a Japanese manga that originally aired a decade ago and has become a cult hit.
Erwin Stoff, one of the producers on The Day the Earth Stood Still, is producing Cowboy Bebop. Peter Craig will pen the screenplay.
The only way this could have been worse news is if, instead of "Keanu Reeves," it said "Nicolas Cage" up there.
we need this... no we dont. And yes i think nic Cage should stick to making a decent Ghost Rider sequel instead of mucking up everything else.
any new word on the live action Akira project?
Yes, Mckracken, Jerry Bruckheimer is making it with Michael Bay directing, and it stars Keanu Reeves, Will SMith, and Nicolas Cage.
oh c'mon Bill why so hard on Will Smith? at least he constantly delivers unlike nic cage who'd average dropped below 50% after National Treasure 2: book of Secrets
and admit it, unlike Nic Cage, Keanu is still fun to watch on screen.. of course he's totally not right for Spike but thats neither here nor there.
actually Nic Cage is a lot like Eddie Murphy, Nic Cage has his ONE hit (National Treasure 1 and 2) and a string of epic failures... Eddie has Shrek 1,2,3 and everything else that Donkey is in... and everything else is a string of epic failures... maybe they should work together on their next movie?

Well now. That casting actually makes sense to me. At least they didn't ask Will Smith.
