Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel in ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Movie
Once more, Keanu Reeves got an interesting part in a movie. This time, Twentieth Century Fox will bring the Japanese anime TV, “Cowboy Bebop“, alive to the big screen with Keanu Reeves playing the hero named Spike Spiegel. If I’m not mistaken, 20th Century Fox and 3 Art Entertainment had already acquired the rights from Sunrise Studios in order to produce the film. Peter Craig will write the script of the movie adaptation.

FYI, “Cowboy Bebop” is about the journey of Spike Spiegel, a bounty hunter and a former member of a crime syndicate in year 2071. It is the time where “astral gates” make interstellar travel possible. Together with Jet Black, a fellow bounty hunter and former cop, they travel through space in the spaceship Bebop. For more info, you can visit the original source of the news in Hollywood Reporter.
The question is: Can Keanu Reeves pull it?
The truth is this will suck…Bad.
The Scifi aspects of it are going to make it awkward on the big screen.
…It just won’t work.

glad that you visit my website. Yeah, it may look awkward if it follow 100% like the anime. So, that’s why most producers tend to alter it 80% such as Dragonball movie.
Hi pdat,
January 24th, 2009 at 5:27 pmwell, for me everything that got Keanu Reeves name could sell although he is a stiff actor
yup..you`re right..but looking for the face of keanu, he seems to be quite similar to the actor looks..good choice i thinks..hehe

if they’re going to do Cowboy Bebop, they better get ready for some Lupin live action adaptation.
