The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Cowboy Bebop
The good news is they are making a movie based on one of my favorite anime series, Cowboy Bebop. The bad news is Keanu Reeves is playing Spike. The ugly part.. have I mention Keanu Reeves!?! Spike's character is sort of a sarcastic slacker, yet he is still a totally competent bounty hunter. Keanu just doesn't pull off sarcasm that well. He tried in Constatine, but only with partial success. Well nevertheless, I will be seeing this when it's released.
What do you think? Have you seen Cowboy Bebop? Do you think Keanu is the right casting choice?
I love good anime and Fullmetal Alchemist was one of my favorite series, so it is good to hear that they are releasing a new series. I've never read the manga, so I'm not sure how closely this follows that story, but the first series actually came to a pretty satisfying close, so it seems this is just the continued adventures sort of thing.
