Cowboy Bebop Live Action projects
I wasn't sure if I should make a thread rather called:
'Western/Japanese animation adapted to live action movie list' Or something, I see tons and tons of movie threads in here that get very little limelight, seems more efficient to bundle movie related things in sub genres almost. Nonetheless, i figure like DBZ, this'll get a few old school otaku out of their retirement homes and back into ranting and raving, depending on how 20C Fox play this. For now, I've a bad feeling tho... Quote:
Time will tell, i suppose.... On a mini side note of other old school animation being adapted or remade... Quote:
All we need is what... Eva as an 'old anime classic' and then I think we got the lot. xD

Besides, it's not going to work unless a Singaporean plays Faye Valentine. And I'm not saying that because I'm biased! |

Lol, Keanu Reeves as Spike doesn't fit at all. If it still stands as him being Spike when this comes out, it's going to be horrific. I've never liked Keanu Reeves. For the most part, he's a very mediocre actor at best, IMHO.

Unlike all of you, i have high hopes for this adaption since, the producer is working closely with the creator of Cowboy Bebop so it's bound to be good. Further more Keanu is an anime fan so he knows the source material well.

Cowboy Bebop was my first anime import and still is my favourite anime. Its, for me simply the best anime I've seen and I loved everysingle minute of it, while I was playing the DvD in my old xbox, as soon as the package arrived from wherever.
Now, if I asked for a thing was to see more of cowboy bebop: another movie (the last one as good), another story in the universe, I dont know.. something. A live-action movie crossed my mind but spike spiegel, faye, ed, ein and jet are my all time favourite anime crew and to be able to find the perfect set of actors to match this memmorable characters, in a way that every slingle fan doesnt get mind fucked just by looking at it, will be very hard. I've got nothing against Keanu Reeves (Matrix anyone?) and he does have some spike spiegel look a like quality, and he is a good actor, so he might just be able to pull of some of spikes attitude and style, but still, as a fan, a GREAT fan, I'm worried. well, he does looks pretty spike spiegel laid back on those phtos.. but will he pull of the whole deal? Plus, who will be playing the rest of the crew characters... for me, all of'em are major! if they mess up with even ein and get me a frekin golden retriever that knoes how to play american footbal I'll get super sayan stage 99999999999999999999999 on the producers ass I want to be optimistic about this.. I do.. although I'm afraid they kill the franchise and even damage the perfect nostalgia I have from Cowboy Bebop, but I wont make my conclusions this early. I want to see more.

Keanu Reeves as Speike Spiegel O_o Erf i hope he will let his hair growing But I agree in your pictures OutSmart, he looks like Spike.
Anyway i will pray everyday for this adaptation to not be like the DragonBall one

The question for me is who's going to play Faye?
A lot of her character is projected through her appearance. If they dont get that spot on it'll be harder to believe that she is Faye. |

Listen, I'm not biased. If we want to portray Faye accurately, we've got to use a Singaporean. |

Well, considering that this was what she remembered from her childhood...I'd say that the odds are very good she's from a certain city-state 1deg north of the equator.
And judging from how she was running uphill towards her home near the ruined cityscape, I'd reckon she was the spoilt rich daughter of some tycoon who lived near Emily Hill, one of poshest areas in this country's commercial district. (But that's 100% speculation on my part — my friend and I used to joke that Faye was most probably a student at an extremely prestigious convent school here ). |

Keeanu Reeves has played (or made) every character the same...The last time I saw Reeves not play that same melancholy, rangeless character was probably in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey...Not to say that he sucks (I mean most his roles need that kind of character), but if he plays Spike that straightforward I can't help but be worried by that...All things being equal though, the fact that Reeves will star means that this movie (unlike DB-movie) might actually get the budget to be a truly amazing film...
