Yes, I know Keanu Reeves is set to star in a live action Cowboy Bebop movie

[Tek7]

...and I don't want to talk about it. So stop sending me e-mails, private messages, or instant messages with the "news."

In the words of Orihime Inoue, "I reject."

Yes, that means I'm in denial.

Boy tek you seem a little touchie, maybe you should close the post too so you don't have to read about it either

 

[The Mighty Gerbil]

The only thing I ever liked Keanu Reeves in was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (and maybe the if'y sequel). They were the only films that "like totally" suited his acting abilities. I think my eyes were about to roll out of my head when I heard about the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" starring him XD.

But....dude......he knows kung fu

 

[The Mighty Gerbil]

But....dude......he knows kung fu

Just as much as David Carridine knows Tai Chi -_- .

 

[Cool_Hand_Luke]

Well, I know Kung Pow and 3 other Chinese dishes...lol

 

[Odale]

Hey Tek!!! Guess what?!?!

And he was good in all of the Matrixes...

 

[Sarugon]

Who is Keanu Reeves? And what exactly is a Cowboy Bebop movie...

 

[Neirai the Forgiven]

I know, I was pretty unhappy at the news too.

Spike is moody, but not moodless.

Keanu Reeves may know kung fu... but does Spike? I figured he had a completely different fighting style.

Edit: And Spike is my favorite character in any Anime... which is why I'm wearing a black suit everywhere I go now...
...just kidding on the suit.

Because you're in mourning?

Seriously, who on earth thought this was a good idea? I knew the drug problem was serious in Hollywood, but I didn't know it was this serious.

Like Heath Ledger as the Joker, he COULD pull this off. Just needs... Bill by his side air strumming during filming.

Wooden spike huh.. its not a vampire movie...

Still of all the characters, spike is the only one he would have a chance with.. i hope that his small acting talent stretches to the muted and moody spike.. a Neo-esque portrayal might be OK if he could emote just a little..

Whos been cast in the other roles?

But Spike's not just muted and moody. He's also a charmer, and a smooth talker. From what I've seen, Keanu's neither.

I don't care if he knows kung fu...

*not sure if this is shallow*
all I care about is if they make the movie good...

My guess...

30% chance the movie gets canceled before it even hits screens
50% chance of a flop action movie
5% chance of actually making a good movie
10% chance of a terrible anime live action movie that is "some kid' 's favorite but is "okay" to everyone else.
4% of the over tone of sex and violence to make another "Smoking Aces" type of action film
1% chance of the rapture happening and I really wont care of the end result.


Any questions?

 

[The Mighty Gerbil]

1% chance of the rapture happening and I really wont care of the end result.

I can see it now the thing that makes God finally say enough is another Keanu Reeves movie .

 

[CCGR]

I don't think it's a good fit either

 

[Glitch]

is there any information on the story line?
Or.... anything?
I've looked online briefly and it all just looks like, he said, she said stuff.
