if it turns out well, i couldn't be happier, i love the Bebop. but i just don't see it working out excessively well. probably just because I'm a pessimist.

i think you got a little iron man in my spike Siegel

i don't have much against Ron Pearlman

imo, Charisma Carpenter will make a good Faye

i'd prefer not to have Miranda do Edward, disney channel and all, but i do think she'd be able to play the role well... even with the Awsome charector of Ed being played by... her

Reese Witherspoon as Julia will make me die a little bit inside

i believe that Johnny Depp could make a good Vicious

and the samual and jessica parts a joke right? please?

Recently word has come out that a Live-Action Cowboy bebop movie is in the works. it sounds promising considering the fact that Bebop is a very western inspired anim so messing it up shouldnt be that hard:

Imediately i was worried who they might cast and have it all messed up so this thread will consit of two parts.

1- What is your opinion on this movie

2- Who would you cast as the characters.


Heres my cast list:

Spike Spiegel- Robert Downey Jr.

Jet Black- Ron Pearlman

Faye Valentine- Charisma Carpenter

Edward- Dakota Fanning or Miranda Cosgrove

Vicious- Johnny Depp

Julia-Reese Witherspoon

Punch and Judy- Samuel L Jackson & Jessica Simpson
(Bounty Huntercommercial people)

Keanu Reeves has already been cast to play Spike.

Old News I have known about this for 3 weeks

Keanu Reeves has already been cast to play Spike.

Not official yet. But he's front runner for Spike at the moment. Here's to hoping that it won't go through with Keanu.

 

[Kahoot]

Charisma Carpenter would equal a rubbish movie

 

[ParaParaJMo]

Well Fox has Dragon Ball so I don't have high expectations.

Although unlikely, it would be great if Yoko Kanno came in to do the music. Hopefully there is someone who can do a good jazz track.

But you have no gripes with Reese Witherspoon playing Julia? i mean cmon.
Seriously... legally blond.

she was good in Walk the line, but not good enough to redeem Legally blond.

Well who would you choose as faye? Im real eager to hear

I'm not a casting agent so I don't really know who I'd cast for any role but I do know that she went from playing Cordelia in Buffy quite well to "I've had a boob op and can't act any more" in Angel. I've seen her in a few other shows and I've just never really liked her.

Walk the Line was amazin.

I don't approve of this becoming a live action movie at all. They will screw it up.

Yeah she had big boobs but she did have a boob op too. And her character development went from silly high school cheerleader to, boring.

Whatever happens to this movie it will turn out like crap cause it's under FOX's house. They'll butcher it up and serve it up like mashed potatoes. I have no faith in FOX whatsoever.

Robert Downey DOES have a Spike-look about him in that pic.

What about Christian Bale as Spike? The Vicious casting is spot-on, I was thinking him too.
