Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie

It has been announced that a Cowboy Bebop movie will soon see the light of day. As fans of the anime series, this is exciting news and we can't wait. However the announcement came with what may become a downside to the film.

Fox the studio with the rights to the film announced that they are pursuing Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) to play lead bounty hunter Spike Speigel. Don't get us wrong, we've enjoyed a lot of Reeves' work, but as far as him making the perfect Spike, we just don't see it. Though we could be wrong and this may turn out to be the perfect fit.


Our only suggestion is that either Vin Diesel (Riddick) or Ron Perlman (Hellboy) should be cast as Spike's partner Jet Black. Both just appear to fit Jet's persona so well.

Unfortunately we'll have to wait until 2011 to see how this turns out. - GJ
