the producers of The Matrix and A Scanner Darkly.

Hmm...interesting. But I'd much rather see Cosby Bebop.

Two thoughts went through my head

1) This could be kind of co....Damn it's at Fox

2) There goes another of my dream projects. *crosses Bebop off list and cries*

 

[DorkyFresh]

a cowboy bebop movie would be cool, but Fox being the distributer doesn't sit well with me. Erwin Stoff producing would probably mean Keannu Reeves is gonna play Spike, hehe.

 

[Drizzle]

Since when did Fox becoming the distributor become an automatic death sentence? I thought that only applied to superhero movies like "X3" and "Fantastic Four".

Funny at first...but went on for too long.

 

[Da Games Elite]

Am I the only one who's really excited about this? ^_^

 

[Kanon]

I don't care for Cowbe, but I can see how this is big news... how come this isn't all over the news?

 

[GhostPoet]

If they screw this up.....I hope rabbid wolves attack them in their sleep.

Well that's a downer.

Hitman too

Fox is behind the half assed live action Dragonball flick. it seems like Fox just can't get a handle on properties based on geek culture.

Keannu as Spike...hmm....actually I guess I could see that working. Spike always had a dry personality with humor mixed in.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Lots of potential. I dont want to see this squandered. Hopefully a Blade Runner fan has some creative influence

 

[Space Moose]

Anime + Live action movie = Suck fest

The reason anime exists is to show something that would look stupid in real life but cool in animated form.

not only that, but he has the look...

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring Whedon aboard to direct or write it.

Dorky:

To recognizable.

I want to see Spike in Cowboy Bebop not Keanu playing Neo.

Luc Besson could do that on the big screen.

Normally you'd be right. Cowboy Bebop is one of the easiest animes to adapt in live action IMO.

 

[Nathan]

Even if it ends up sucking, I hope they'll at least find a good Faye Valentine.

 

[terry78]

When casting Faye, fanboys are going to have to do some sacrificing, as she can NOT be casted just based on hotness. The chick really has to be able to act sarcastic, exasperated, be a semi-smartass, yet still be sympathetic.

Amen, though i still think you could find a hottie with those characteristics.

I always thought Bruce Willis would make a good Jet. I also think Ron Perlman or Clancy Brown could be great as well.

 

[AlteredEgo]

oh god, this has the potential to be sooo good. i swear to god if they **** this up. i just might kill somebody.

 

[Mistress Kizuna]

I will just say this...

IF THIS MOVIE SUCKS, I WILL DESTROY CITIES!!!!!
