Re: KEANU to play in 'Cowboy Bebop Movie'
Cowboy Bebop goes Hollywood
Right on the heels of multiple live-action anime adaptations from Hollywood, 20th Century Fox will be working closely with Sunrise, Inc. to produce and develop the live-action version of the 1998 prolific anime series, Cowboy Bebop. Keanu Reeves has already signed on to play the green-haired bounty hunter, Spike Spiegel, the protagonist of the show. Sunrise president Kenji Uchida, director of the original series, Shinichiro Watanabe, and original series script supervisor Keiko Nobumoto will all serve as associate producers, while former Sunrise producer/Bones studio co-founder Masahiko Minami will take on a role as production consultant. Peter Craig will take on writing the screenplay, which was formerly indicated by Reeves that it would be based on the "Red Eye" episode of the series and not an original story. Watanabe will be the first to read the script. Erwin Stroff from The Day the Earth Stood Still will come on board as a producer, and Joshua Long will act as executive producer.
