Why, Hollywood, why?
Nikkoru:
It's too early to assume it'll be an epic failure, I've always thought Bebop would translate well to live action - especially after seeing Firefly/Serenity.
Humanoidz:
Reeeeeeeeeeetarded. Why doesn't Japanese cinema just do a live action? Hollywood has been a pile of crap recently.
HazukiChan:
I knew of this long ago and posted it on other websites, and most members can't see Keanu even doing justice to the role at all. Most say he is so stiff and devoid of emotion to even attempt it. But in all honesty, Spike is such a classic anime character, who would we accept in the role?

If Reeves is gonna be Spike, it will fail. He has the sarcasm needed to play the part, but he's NOT funny. Wrong guy for the job.

Exactly. I can't think of anyone who could play Spike and do him any justice at all.
zherok:
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Bebop is finished and anything they do now is unlikely to have ruined the chances of something else. I don't think the material is so untouchable it can't be done, and at worst it'll probably be a crappy action film we'll forget about later.
Reeves doesn't have a very huge range, but I could see him doing Spike. Do it well? I dunno. I'd rather he do it than they get some nameless actor who's future probably includes more boring teen/young adult dramas than action movies.
