Rather odd title this time, but I'm feeling I'd keep the shock horror story for this time secret just a little longer.
Cowboy Bebop is on track to be made into a Hollywood picture.
-Shock-
And the man pushing it through the production process? None other than Neo himself, Mr Keanu Reeves.
-Horror-
So, taking snippets from the MTV article here:

“Oh yeah, cool,” he said when I asked him about the flick recently. “We’re trying to do that.”
Reeves hopes to play Spike Spiegel, []“It’s got so much style to it, and that’s part of its appeal. That kind of Old West, bordertown, low-tech science fiction aspect.”
The flick is currently being put together by Erwin Stoff, a producer who has spent the last two decades working almost exclusively on Reeves projects, and recently set the film up at 20th Century Fox. “We’ve got the rights, we’ve got a writer,” Keanu explained. “He’s putting together a scene outline.”
“We’re taking the Red Eye [story], the beginning part of the series,” he explained, “and then we’ll deal with the end of the series. We’re trying to figure out [the time frame]. We’re looking at the story right now.”
“Yeah, it’s so episodic and so disconnected. We’re trying to figure out what pieces to put together to tell one story,” he explained. “Because it’s such a short form, to make a 2 hour version [will be tough]. And it’s got so much of an origin-story obligation; you’ve got to get people up to speed, but you don’t want to do much of that. There are a lot of things to take into consideration, but we think we can do something good.” |
