  • Keanu Reeves has got to be up there with David Duchovny as one of the worst actors of all time, I will not be seeing this sadly :(

  • fuck you, fuck your ancestors, fuck everything you stand for, fuck your greedy sell-out ways, fuck the expendables, fuck jason statham, fuck sylvester stallone, fuck john travolta, fuck tom cruse, fuck hayden christensen, fuck stephen segal, but most of all hollywood, FUCK YOU.

  • i have lost faith in Hollywood

  • @iceboks lol! if chuck knows that there is another immortal like him, he may have to chop off his head =P

  • I would far rather see a couple of brand new Cowboy Bebop animated movies than some live-action remake... Does Hollywood have NO new ideas? Does it all have to be about the dollar?

  • @internationalicon Yes, It's ALL about the dollar. You think Hollywood makes movies for the fanbase, the geeks and otakus? Hell no. Get over it.

  • when i saw that pic of Bill and Ted... oh the laughter...it actually looks like Spike

  • Maybe if he shaved...he could fit the role. But he's a good actor.

  • exelente no podría quedar alguien mejor que Keanu como Spike ya que se decidan cowboy bebop es una exelente historia

  • @OtakuComedyClub nice come back, I lol'd!

  • @OtakuComedyClub

    you moron, this is a troll video, Keanu is not playing Spike! if you are believing youtube videos you are a dumbass ...or american!!! (if you are a yank then sorry, its wrong to make fun of retarted!)

  • @bulavo LOL, you're calling people morons, retards, and insulting Americanss, when you are the one being a retard because it has in fact been CONFIRMED that Reeves is playing Spike, and for your information America is not the only country with dumbasses, you are proof of that (no offence to the people from whatever country you are from, and to those people, I am so sorry that you have to live in the same country as this jackass).

  • *sigh* If only Reevs was younger. Then he'd be PERFECT for the role. Or at least better than most.

  • He is Mr. Anderson

  • hey if they get a good cast together, it could very well be a splendid movie.....but what the hell do I know

  • Keanu Reeves isn't so bad a choice, he's got the right look.

  • @NoRegretsForOurYouth

    Sure... But they SERIOUSLY couldn't find another Spike lookalike?

    You know... One that's a good fucking actor?

  • @BLACKIESBOY sure, but one who'll throw their support behind the project the way Keanu has? I doubt it.

  • @NoRegretsForOurYouth

    Thrown his support how?

  • @NoRegretsForOurYouth Whoopie, if Reeves threw his support behind a live action Akira film (he has been mentioned at several points to play Kaneda I believe) I would still think that would be a stupid idea.

  • @cha5 1. Him playing Kaneda is even more of a stretch than him playing Spike

    2. Does anybody want to see a live action Akira? it would probably look like Japanese Tron nowadays.

    3. I'm not defending Keanu's acting in anyway, just reminding people that without his being signed on, there might not be any discussion about a live action Cowboy Bebop movie, at all.

  • @NoRegretsForOurYouth Fair enough, I personally would prefer an animated sequel to the animated 2001 Cowboy Bebop film over a badly done live action Cowboy Bebop movie, The last I heard on the IMDB is that this live action film was supposedly cancelled, although it's still listed as 'in development' which on the IMDB can mean anything from someone is thinking about it to it's dead in the water.

  • @cha5 Completely agree.

  • Isn't Spike Spiegel like 25 or some shit? Keanu Reeves is too fuckin old.

  • @luke666808g Keanu Reeves... doesn't age...

  • @iceboks he also doesn't act... well

  • @iceboks no, i've seen recent pics of him, he is really old. Honestly, this is a missed chance for an actor that could look or play the part better, but thats hollywood; and dont get me wrong, i like reeves, and i can say that i can see him playing OTHER anime characters, but just not spike. But whats done is done

  • @iceboks chuck norris doesn't age.

  • @glennsf84 Lol, is it 2005? because i just heard a norris joke

  • @luke666808g

    I hope you know Keanu is immortal.

  • @luke666808g spike is 27

  • @luke666808g Spike is 27. you're right they need a younger actor.

  • KEEANU REEVES WOULD BE AWESOME FOR COWBOY BEBOP!!!!!!!!

  • its gonna suck ass.

  • ehh, i like reeves 'n all but idk if he will be able to do spike right. he doesnt really have that laid back, go with the flow attitude but wth? im gonna go see it no matter who it is and its not like i have any say in it so... oh well.

  • i honestly belive reves would be the best spike

  • HELL NO!!!

  • i like keanu reeves but i dont know if he'll be good for spike

  • @DangofaN1 No one cares what you think, your top 10 fav animes are all shit so therefore anything you say is shit.

  • awesome but it won't happen for a long time or maybe not at all.

  • They need to fire him and hire Benedict Cumberbatch immediately, because they will never find a man more like Spike in every way ever again.

  • @Drugernautt

    No. Just...no.

  • keanu reeves is a sick actor o.o you people who say otherwise got cock in the brain

  • @shoequack 1st of all you are full of shit reeves totaly sucks as spike I can see it now....... if reeves is casted as spike it will have offically turn into the worst receation movie ever. worse than spider man...worst than any anime/comic movie receation ever made...its just a bad choice...reeves is a good actor dont get me wrong but hes will NOT be anyhting spike is, period. id rather have sex with a tranny than see a bebop movie casting reeves as spike.

  • @SeanofZeus u prob already did rofl

  • @hellsingcorp666 is that you fantacy? cause its not min! lol

  • Not to bad... What's so horrible about his acting? Any idea if Yoko Kanno is involved regarding the soundtrack?! Vitamin Black could be released then!

  • Any idea if Yoko Kanno is involved regarding the soundtrack?! Vitamin Black could be released then :-D

  • Keanu is a bad choice to be Spike. His acting sucks

  • Comment removed

  • well, that settles it. another potentially epic series of movies ruined by crappy casting decisions!

    Superficially he resembles Spike, but the man can't act to save his life!

  • fucker

  • Adrien Brody Tops It.

  • maybe a younger keanu would fit the look of Spike better but no matter what age he is reeves is still a terrible actor

  • Keanu looks just like spike! hes dedicated hes perfect! he should work with the wachowski brothers to make this happpen.they worked great on the Matrix together and are perfect on doing anime style action,being big anime fans themselfs.The Matrix was the only successful anime movie out there.thumbs up!

  • I don't care that Keanu is playing Spike. I just want the producers to procure a time machine and kidnap Kathleen Turner from 1994 to play Julia.

  • No way... 

  • @Drugernautt You have no idea how I extremely agree with you. Tarantino is by far my favorite director. And for him to direct Cowboy Bebop?! That would be so amazing(:

  • Bruce willis for Jet !

  • he already looks and acts like him cant be anyother spike

  • keanu would be the perfect spike, handsome and badass

  • as usual they'll probably turn something cool into something lame...sigh

  • im kinda worried,YET excited to see how the script will turn out and of course how Keanu will do.good luck to the whole cast,whoever they may be =)

  • MAN HE DON'T FIT THE BILL FOR THIS PART!!!!!

    CHRISTINA RICCI NEITHER-- THEY'RE GOOD ACTORS-- BUT DON'T FIT THIS SCENE AT ALL!!!!!!!!

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo!!!

  • most anime which could do well as live action are ones where most of the chacters are muilt-national and you could do a Cowboy Bebop or Hellsing or Black Lagoon. The hollywood heads think that only the cw for kids anime shows would have a huge draw they just cast them better and not try to make epic shows into one small one.

  • 3 simple questions: How old is Spike? How old is Keanu? Remember how disapointed we were with Neo?

  • to be honest i think anime/ manga char. should be left alone these live action movies will suck hard if they cast big hollywood movie actors in it especially if they get bruce who will probably ruin the movie with the amount of pull he has

    but doing the movie with crappy actors and low production would save it, leaving the director and most likely the creator alot more creative freedom then they would get with a lrger company that only cares about money not its viewers

  • ooh....a actor that definitely matches a anime character O___o

    not like that shit goku actor in hollywood's shitty dbz =___=

  • 1:15 is epic lol

  • hi guys, until the film gets made we can enjoy ourselfs by making our own versions of the film

    check out our 2 cowboy bebop short films (1 hd the other with better audio but a bit mixed up fx) just type in:

    cowboy bebop film

    or

    cowboy bebop - spike spiegel - short film

    and hook us up with some of your films, wed love to see some great anime action from fans, for fans, starring fans , see you soon cowboy, peace from glasgow,,, ps bebop is not for a single race but for the human race

  • @Drugernautt Ahhh god, I would seriously bust a nut. I haven't even thought about QT but he's one of my favorite directors and jesus fucking christ I know he'd do a godly job.

  • Just broke the dislike button

  • @ValesVergaWe half right Reeves great! But his movements and overall style are based on the jeet kundo concepts (Bruce Lee's)....#1 Bepop fan here don't even manifest disagreement on this topic

  • @ejmellow You know, you're right. But I bet he'll somehow pull it off.

  • @ValesVergaWe half right Reeves great! But his movements and overall style are based on the jeet kundo concepts (Bruce Lee's)....#1 Bepop fan here don't even manifest disagreement on this topic

  • @KillaTequilla89 agreed with you..... spike is not a japanese guy, he looks like an american and his movements and actions are more America style.... Ill like Keanu as Spike.....i hope he can catch up with this bounty hunter....

    PS:

  • i like Keanu Reeves 

  • Come on... we all already know that the cartoon version of Spike is a better actor than Keanu Reeves

  • @KuraiMax10 Opinion

  • @KuraiMax10 First of all, it doesnt take much to be a better actor than Keanu Reeves, and second of all, to anyone who believes this, there is no source proof to this. Third to the commenter below, No. Not everyone in every anime is asian. Believe it or not, but sometimes the Japanese like to throw in a few other races. I personally think a white spike is much more fitting, same with Jet and Ed, though Fey could go either way.

  • Since there characters are Asians shouldn't they be PLAYED by Asians? just a thought people. I guess white people wouldn't watch then.

  • This made me lol because I just watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

  • damn i hate keanu reeves. always same facial expression..............

  • Now let's be positive for a second. It's been proven that Keanu's terrible acting can be countered with a decent story and good directing. The Matrix is a fantastic film. Let's just keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

  • I now know that Hollywood hates this series. And I'm now going to go kill myself because of this decision.

  • No. NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.­NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.NO.

  • I'm in two minds on this issue. On the one hand, anime live action movies are utter shit. On the other hand, Keanu Reeves and the movies he does consist of win and awesome, and he's a fan of the Anime, which could turn many things to the better.....

    GAWD make up my mind for me, I don't know if i should hope for the one live action anime to end all bad life action anime or be afraid of another badly made hollywood film out to exploit a great franchise.

    :/

  • @gabbergandalf667 well, keanu reeves seems to suffer from the same problem nick cage does, in his later films he is so wooden. i dont think that spike should be done wooden more calm with a smile on his face

  • Trigun would be great for live-action film.

  • @Nigel361ten Oh okay. Thank you.

  • que no la hagan por fa que la van a cayar

    not do it for fa that will spoil

  • Hey, does anyone know if Keanu is still playing Spike? I read and heard that now he's currently working on another film. I think it's called "47 Ronin", a samuari remake. So, as if now because of the script and budget, this movie is hanging in the balance? Help please.

  • @Gabreya yes keanu is still spike

  • confio en tu reeves no lo arruines! o te mochola cabeza!!!

  • A smaller more independent company would have made a much better version of Cowboy Bebop, as they would care less about the money and give us great actors who would do justice to the characters no offense to Reeves, I like him he's a good actor, but i don't want him to be Spike. His hasn't the appearance nor personality to pull it off. I'm still going to watch it though (sigh) i hope they don't murder Cowboy Bebop! i've been waiting far too long!

  • YOU Have GOT TO Be FuCkING KIDDING ME!

    How long does holly wood intend to screw up good anime names?With its shitty real life action adaptations?!

  • @FBFTheRagingWarrior Oh Im sorry have you seem the movie? Or even a trailer?

  • @Nigel361ten Oh im sorry to but have ever seen an anime?

  • @FBFTheRagingWarrior Yes i have. So my question is how have they fucked up the movie when you or anyone else hasn't seen it?

  • @Nigel361ten If you've seen than you know that it can never be adapted into a movie (Hollywood style).And btw i said "for how long do they intend to screw up...."by that i meant they will fuck it up.Which they will 100%.guaranteed .Well maybe from the aspect of the people that don't watch anime it will be good.Which i believe it will be.But to a guy who sees anime as a hole different genre than a movie or a cartoon,it will suck.

  • comes out this year dont know what date though

  • WHEN?!? WHEN DOES THIS COMES OUT?!?!?!?I WANNA KNO!

  • @luckyandhachi

    I think it's supposed to come out this year. Not sure what month though.

    Or maybe this is when they are going to finally finish casting and start the production on it. I don't know. Either way though I just hope they don't fuck it up.

  • @luckyandhachi today

  • Although many are uncertain about how Reeves will fit into the role for Spike, you have to admit he has a damn good voice for the part.

  • @xAngelWingsxx and he looks like it without making an effort,. haha,.and spike is an effortless guy.,. keano wont be having a hardtime,. :D

  • @xAngelWingsxx I agree. I can see spike in Keanu Reeves. Good choice.

  • well its been taking a pretty long time to make, so I dont think it will be that bad.

  • I think Keanu will do an excellent job. He has the potential, that edge, that toughness and coolness to bring Spike to life on the big screen. He's played characters similar to Spike in the past, so it's no big deal. His acting is amazing and he'll be great in this film adaptation. :)

  • i loooooove Keanu Reeves!!!!!!!!!!

  • whoaThat picture with him shirtless cought me off guard for a moment...

    Anyway, Keanu Isn't like an average Hollywood celebrity. He goes deeper than that, so he'll do a great job.

  • In a recent interview, Keanu was asked where the script was for Cowboy Bebop. Keanu replied, the script was sent back for rewrites because it was so good it would have cost 500,000,000 to make it.

  • Keanu Reeves is better than any another actor on this role

    maby need to be worry - director,scenario, other actors

  • Fucking shit.

  • idky i just cat see keanu reeves being chill enough to pull this role off

  • the production isnt gonna be a problem. the creators of the show are very very closely involved in this whole process, thats been stressed numerous times. this actually i think is gonna be the first real good representation of an anime in live action format. i think all of us anime fans need to stop going "oo no not live action" every time. give the guys a little bit of support, that's our job as fans. keanu reeves i think is actuallly well suited to the role of spike. come on guys be optimistic

  • @gatorarman12 i agree, and it's good to hear the anime creators are keeping a close eye on it they can restrain any hollywood influences that may dull the film down. Many people are so doubtful of Reeves portraying Spike, but he does have the fight experience and a very similar look to spike but as for personality... i can see the point people make but i think he can pull it off, if he's given good direction and influence, he's actually a better actor than most people make him out to be.

  • If the director can properly utilize his acting abilities properly, IT MIGHT work. He definitely wouldn't be my first choice for this film, I just hope I'm surprised.

  • Honestly I think Keanu wont dissapoint us ! Because in comparison to all of his prior roles his characters almost portrayed Spike... constantine matrix street kings....I think he has the Acting part down path.. its just the Production of the movie that scares me!

  • no...No...NO...nnnnnnnnnnnNNNN­NNNNNNoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO... Anyone but keanu anyone.. I can sense another dragon ball evolution in the making.

  • Hehheh. Keanu Reeves sucks. We're fucked. He has the least charisma of any leading man I've ever seen. How he got to be one in the first place is through events that are beyond my imagination.

  • I think this movie could be good if it just had an original plot, separate from the series, like the anime movie. The anime movie was good because everyone knew who the characters were, so they could just get right to the action and the story. They should just have this movie be an original story without needing to introduce any of the characters, since most of the people who are gonna see it know who everyone is

  • They are gonna BUTCHER Cowboy Bebop :(

    Please Keanu Reeves, don't fuck this up!!!!!!

  • okay for the people who dont know Shinichirō Watanabe is having a heavy part in making the movie and pretty much picked keanu for this role

  • Please NOOOOO!!!!

  • HAMTARO? PLEASE, NEVER AGAIN!

  • WOW, I'M KEANU, I KNOW KUNG FU!

  • gah i hope they dont ruin this anime like all the others T_T

  • Please dont fuck it up!

    Signed Another Bebop Fan

  • Why has no one thought about Josh Hartnett for spikes part. He was good in sin city, even with a small part. Age/style ..... everything fits

  • yeah i hope REaves dosn't wear a wig

  • FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UU!!!!

  • they need to stop making live action anime :( there messing them up ): they already messed up dragonball..if this movie comes out sucky then they really need to stop...im watching cowboy bebop right now :o :) and it's awesome so please let this be a good live action movie....

  • I'm happy about Reeves as Spike, he will do a great job

  • i dont know why you guys are trippin so much.

    if it sucks, just forget about it. like you know that game Max Payne? they made a movie adaptation of it, it sucked hairy nuts. but that doesnt change the fact that game is a masterpiece. you know what i mean?

  • Keanu is an EXCELLENT choice to play Cowboy Bebop. He will do CB's "attitude" perfectly.

  • Lupin the 3rd >

  • it's all gone to hell, screw fox, they could never hope to re-create such a masterpiece of storyline, characters, im a fan of reeves but as a solid fan of cowboy bebop aswell, i cannot imagine keanu as spike for the life of me

    his only trait would be his physique

  • ya..its gonna suck cuz of him...if it dont ill be surprised

  • No! No! No! Fox does not need any more anime!

  • Reeves is a fan of the anime, a jazz musician, has Spike's personality and physikal traits, and has fighting experience from the Matrix trilogy...what more do you people want? all im reading is "shoul be this..." and "They better do that". Wait till a trailer is released and decide FOR YOURSELF if you want to see it or not

  • You know something Keanu has his tiny eyes, thats just NOBODY KILL ME FOR SAYING THAT!

  • reeves he might pull it off but he dosen't fix 4 his voice

  • id like to see jason statham as jet black and maybe center it around the episode with abdul hakim played by the rock! or include vicious and have a similar ending as the anime. Who would you guys like to play vicous?? id like nicholas cage,

  • well it can work he was great in street kings and to begin with the Spike character is not very emotional so Keanu Reeves has a slim chance of pulling it off but overall it cames down to the script....I mean come on they can't screw this up the anime movie was bad ass and what cowboy bebop is in general is basicly movies like Shoot them up or classics such as Cobra but in space colonies so yea if they screw this up i would give up on manga adaptations

  • i think this movie will be good i mean Keanu Reeves is perfect for spike he just needs more hair and a cig and it will be perfect

  • I honestly think that Keanu resembles Spike quote a bit; hopefully they can get his hair right without making it look horribly costume-y >>;;;

    But Hollywood getting their hands on another anime, omfg... It frightens me >>;; 'Dragonball' was bad enough.. I didn't watch it all the way through DDDXXX

  • not trying to troll here, but i honestly think keanu reeves could fit this roll well. spike is kinda of a quiet guy who keeps to himself during the series and I think keanu complements that. my only problem is that i think it should be someone slightly younger.

  • I honestly don't know if he'll do a good job or not, we might wanna give Keanu a chance before we flame the whole movie because it's live-action. But I will see this movie though! My dad will sit through it too ^^

  • I have a feeling that they are going to butcher this like they did with the last airbender.

  • NOOOOOO!!!!!

    Fuck all those lazy fucks in Hollywood who can't come up with an original idea and has to rip off of the most badass anime/mangas

    RIP DBZ....

    Soon to be RIP Cowboy Bebop.

  • The only perfect thing about Reeves playing Spike is the height issue. Spike Spiegel = 6ft1, Keanu Reeves = 6ft1. I'm worried a CB movie might damage the image of the whole series... We've seen this sort of thing before.

  • I think they need to get younger and fresher actors that know a little something about  the anime

  • Thats it i cant take it anymore, the more Hollywood make movies out of anime the more crap im giving them cause they done messed up to many times for me now.

  • I'm against a cowboy bebop movie altogether

  • *sigh* Well I know what movie I won't be seeing.

    He's just...he's not a good actor. He sounds the same in everything he does. Unless he can show us some depth I don't think he'd fit the part. I guess we'll just have to see.

  • I hope this actually turns out at least close to as good as the series or movie... ...But then again what hasnt Hollywood fucked up??

  • Keanu as Spike huh? lets just hope he gets the voice and hair right lol

  • Keanu Reeves as Spike is a joke. Best show ever made and Keanu Reeves is going to make the movie suck.

  • Great. Warner Bros. is going to rape Bleach liuke they did Dragonball. I hope they are ready for the hord of rabid fans.

    and i just can't wait until they try making an FMA movie. FTW T.T

  • hed be perfect but ithought spike was asian or like part black

  • I don't care. But if they fuck up one of the only two animes I actually like I'm going to be pissed. (the other one is GITS)

  • I think Keanu will make a great Spike...it's the script I'm worried about it.

    If it's bad, it won't be his fault. It'll be the writers :/

  • @browny174 And you can alway blame the Director

  • Yea okay
