Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

So yeah, it's pretty much all rumor at this point, but Keanu Reeves is involved. Apparently there's already a first draft.

Cowboy Bebop is the 1998 anime series which focused on a group of bounty hunters, set in a distant future in which space travel is the norm, Earth is a landfill, mars is an urban sprawl, and organized crime and a whole host of criminal elements are the "cowboy's" next meal.

I'm somewhat interested in how this is going to turn out, but I'm still waiting on concrete details.

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Ive never heard of it...

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

If you mean the show, then by all means investigate. It's pretty good.

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Ahh I shall research it mate to see what its all about :yup:

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

I second that. The show is good. You'll enjoy it, most likely.

The characters are very fleshed out, and it dabbles in western themes. Episodes are named, and themed after styles of music, i.e.; "The Real Folk Blues," and "Sympathy for the Devil."

It does sound like a good watch, I will get back to you guys once I have read/watched stuff on it :up: cheers for the recommendation guys :)

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

It does indeed sound like a good watch and from what I have read it sounds like an animated version of Firefly.

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Oh, by "Western," I meant American. It's very American for an anime. The design of the vehicles and world alone is impressive.

Cheers for the link to the traile it really does look like a good watch :yup:

Hmmm, not sure what to make of this. I'm not a fan of Manga/animé being turned into live action movies, but it could be good.

Wasn't there meant to be an Akira live action movie?

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Im not a fan of Manga/anime at all but I really enjoyed Afro Samuri and this is interesting me and if I like it im sure the film will interest me also.

Afro Samurai is very good, but tbh there is much better stuff out there.

I wonder if they'll have the same ending?

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Ahh I havent seen anything else but im sure I will be getting into more stuff.

Well, I'm up for that! I liked Keanu as Constantine, even if he isn't a blond brit. Hopefully, this film will have more success than that one.

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

Keanu would suck as Spike. He's too much of a joke and nor is he nearly cool enough. In my opinion :D.

Live action anime just seems stupid to me. We can all see how well The Last Airbender went. Anime was made as an anime as opposed to live action for a reason...

Re: Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie
 

I don't like the idea of Keanu as Spike, but you guys have to admit he does look the part.
But I would have preferred James Franco.

I agree wholeheartedly. Keanu kind of looks like him, yes, but there are so many better actors that look like him too. Seriously can Keanu even grin/generally look laidback without looking like a dope? I mean that's basically Spike's only expression. James Franco would be an excellent choice, I can totally see him destroying that part!

You should be a casting director.

For some reason, I guess the way he acts on The Office is where I'm basing my opinion, but I think John Krasinski could pull off Spike.
