Fox is developing a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie based on the popular anime series. Remarkably, the project still isnt officially announced and Fox is still keeping it under wraps. However, someone inside the industry who is a very reliable source wrote in to tell that the film is being fast tracked inside the studio and will most likely be out by 2010. He also revealed that Keanu Reeves has been attached as the lead character Spike for over eight months now and is still set for the role. Unfortunately there isnt a writer or director attached yet, but with some new forward momentum coming from the announcement, I dont think it will take too long.

Yep, you heard that right, the same guy who played Neo will be taking on the role of Spike Spiegel, a former member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate who is haunted by the memory of his time in the organization. The show first aired in Japan in early 1998 and was brought over to America in 2001 on Adult Swim. The series follows the adventures of a group of bounty hunters traveling on their spaceship, the Bebop, in the year 2071. If you are looking for more details regarding this live-action Cowboy Bebop movie, here is yet another juicy tidbit. With Keanu Reeves involved, it is obvious this is no small project. The source also told that if everything stays the same, the budget on this will be insane.

    • NO! My favorite anime is going to be turned into a pile of Amero-trash. With one of the worst actors of the century. Why would they ever dream of doing this.

      It is like the new dragonball movie. I laughed so hard when i saw the trailer. Hollywood has an amazing talent of churning out trashy cinema with infantile plot lines aimed at morons on anti-depressents

      How could they do this!? what next? Ghost in the shell live action pile of shit? Im pissed....

      If you have the power, destroy this movie....
