Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop

It excites me incredibly to know that a Cowboy Bebop movie is happening. But it makes me scared to think that Keanu is getting the lead in what might be my single favorite Anime series of all time. I'm very skeptical that he can pull off this role. For now we'll have to wait and speculate who the rest of the cast will be. I'm mostly curious who will get Faye Valentine. And we can only cross our fingers and hope that the soundtrack remains intact.

    The learning to act cd was scratched, so they never got to that one.

    Keanu has all the charm of of a ship-mounted laser turret.

    I think we found his perfect role!

    On the one hand, considering Spike's normal nonchalant attitude, Keanu's lack of acting abilities could actually be a happy accident for the role.

    On the other hand, I'm going to go cry somewhere for about an hour.

    And a side note: Some time ago someone made a faux Live-action CB poster, rather well done, with their suggestions for casting. It had three stripes, going left to right, of equal size, one for Jet, Spike, and Faye. It circulated the internet quite a bit, but I can't seem to find it now. Anyone know where I can see the image of which I speak?
