Quote:Fox hunts down 'Cowboy Bebop'
Keanu Reeves set to star as Spike Spiegel

By Borys Kit

Twentieth Century Fox is bringing the Japanese anime TV series "Cowboy Bebop" to the big screen, with Keanu Reeves attached to star as a bounty hunter traveling through space in 2071.

One of the big titles in anime, "Bebop" is set in a time where "astral gates" make interstellar travel possible. Humanity, decimated by a lunar explosion resulting from a gate accident, spread out across the solar system, as did crime, which gave rise to the use of bounty hunters.

Reeves would play Spike Spiegel, a bounty hunter and former member of a crime syndicate. Spiegel, along with Jet Black, a fellow bounty hunter and former cop, are the two pilots of the spaceship Bebop.

Peter Craig is writing the script.

The show, which first aired on Tokyo TV and satcaster Wowow during the late 1990s, was strongly influenced by American music, even featuring action sequences -- both space battles and mano a mano -- timed to U.S. melodies.

Reeves' association with the project leaked in the summer when Fox and 3 Arts Entertainment began the process of acquiring the rights from Sunrise Studios.

Erwin Stoff, Reeves' longtime manager, is producing through 3 Arts. Joshua Long will serve as executive producer.

Sunrise president Kenji Uchida, the TV series' director of animation, Shinichiro Watanabe, and series writer Keiko Nobumoto will serve as associate producers. Series producer Masahiko Minami will serve as production consultant.

"Bebop" marks a return to Fox for the CAA-repped Reeves, who starred in the studio's December release "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

WHOAAAA, they better not mess that up. I'm a big fan of the anime, they'd better do some really decent work on making the appearance and personality of spike right.

Also, I'm curious if they will make the film sort of like a normal episode (like "knocking on heavens door") or try to get part of the whole history...

I have to admit, i liked the first DN movie. Rolleyes The intensity was there for the ending, and it was more interesting since i didn't know what was going to happen.

Anyway, i haven't seen CB, but i have a strange urge/obligation to now. o_o

And yeah, can't really call what'll be worse. DBZ doesn't seem to have ANYTHING similar to the actual thing, so i'm just gonna say this is better for now. xD

Holy crap I'd pay for a live action Yu-Gi-Oh, oh the laughs that would ensue...


Or a live action Pokemon Glitter rofl, CG pokemon probably of course, but I can actually see it happening.


On the topic of this, im not surprised, the world is running out of fresh creative ideas, so they mooch on successes past. I loved Cowboy bebop, I wonder who they'll get to play Ed...

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]As much as I would like it to be fake, it seems too widespread to be.
