Actually, believe it or not, those are two different directors (Excell Saga and Cowboy Bebop). Same names, different guys.

All I want to say is Johnny Depp for vicious. I think he can pull off the dark look of vicious and also his acting skill would be a big part.

can people stop dissing Keanu Reeves? my brother hates anime, i mean HATES it, and cowboy bebop totally got him, and he loves the idea that reeves is going to be spike! so stop being mean you haven’t even seen how he acts as spike, so before you start getting mad and thinking this live action will s**k give him a chance.

Just had to say, Keanu Reeves is actually a great choice for this character. I’ve read most of the earlier comments, but I must say…as bad as his acting is, he does play the mellow characters well. He also can do the dry humor well also. Don’t believe me? Watch Constantine and tell me that character doesn’t somewhat remind you of Spike Spiegel. He also has a leg up on most other actors because of the shape he is in and the martial arts training he did for the Matrix. All these things factored in with the fact that this movie wouldn’t be getting made without him makes me think, he’s a pretty damn good choice for Spike.

Luke, Keanu Reeves was actually the one who wanted to make the movies first, and if it weren’t for his passion, it never would have even been considered.

I think this movies has a lot of potential. BUT it will fail unless Yoko Kanno is brought back in to do the music for it.

Go Yoko Kanno!

At least Keanu knows Kung Fu a little, so he may be able to pull off Jeet Kune Do.

why can’t they just put out another series or a mini-movie or something??

The guys at Sunshine Inc kick wang. Live-action is definitely not the way to go though. whoever came up with that idea should be shot.

hopefully its not too bad though if the original director has a lot to do with it…we’ll see…

whether you guys like it or not, this movie will happen. Unless those who strongly detest the production of this movie want to assemble a Task Force to sabotage the set… hehe

P.S. I heard they were considering Man-Faye for Faye Valentine part…

I’m really not comfortable with keanu reeves playing spike. I love the James Franco Idea!!

C’mon – Keanu Reeves might make a great Spike !! ( Or he might flush the whole performance down the crapper….. )

Bruce Willis, Lawrence Fishburne or Samuel L. Jackson might play Jet – Jet should be physically imposing yet smart.

Frances McDormand ( Fargo, Something’s Gotta Give ) as either Faye or Julia

OR
Mila Jovovich as Faye

What about James di Franco as Vicious ?

An alternative actor for Spike – Michael Rosenbaum. In interviews, he has shown a sharp, sassy wit, & he can do cynical, sarcastic & brooding like Spike.

Whaddya think ?
