 Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
Along the line of the Akira thread from a few weeks back: They are making a live action Cowboy Bebop w/ Keanu Reeves as Spike. Heard the rumor & had to google it : http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b79405_keanu_saddles_up_cowboy_bebop.html

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
You know, on some forums, posting pictures of Man Faye gets you an instaban. Consider yourself lucky. ;p We were discussing this on Toybox, too, trying to come up with casting suggestions. My friend Victoria Tate would be perfect for Faye: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1913091/resume

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
this sucks. I love cowboy bebop. I made my wife watch the whole box set with me, and she even enjoyed it. I doubt she'd ever seen 5 minutes of anime in her whole life, and she's since asked to watch it again with me. this is a tragedy waiting to happen. I'm hoping hollywood doesn't have GITS on its list...

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
Wonder who's going to do the music. Because honestly, half of why Cowboy Bebop was so good is the score.

Servs em all right.  Exactly. I don't care really. It doesn't affect me since I won't go see it and anyone who thinks it's awful should JUST NOT GO. You know, though, how many hard-core fans will still dish out the money just to find something to complain about when, in the end, they're just supporting it by giving it cash.

That is the one thing they will lose, for sure. GITS has two (or 3 if you count the Solid State) movies that are outstanding, they don't need to be remade.

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
CB is one of my favorite anime series of all time. I instantly had to go out and buy the box set once I saw the first few 5 or 6 episodes. I hate that they're doing a live-action american adaptation of it because no matter how much I hope it will be good or even come close to the original, it will be sub-par at best.

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
Ugh! Why can't Reeves just make the bestiality porn he was meant to and leave it at that! So many fine English actors (and more than a few Americans that can pull off a passable accent) and HE got to play Constantine!!!

 Re: Another American Movie Anime Atrocity
