Keanu Reeves is Cowboy Bebop!

Keanu Reeves is taking on another sci-fi mission for 20th Century Fox.

The "Day the Earth Stood Still" star is attached to topline a live-action bigscreen adaptation of the Japanese anime TV series "Cowboy Bebop" for the studio.

Reeves will take on the role of Spike Spiegel, an adventurous bounty hunter traveling through space in 2071.

Story follows the adventures of a group of bounty hunters traveling on their spaceship, the Bebop. Peter Craig has been tapped to write the screenplay.

Sunrise Inc., which produces the anime series, will be closely involved with the development of the English-language project. Sunrise's Kenji Uchida and Shinichiro Watanabe will serve as associate producers alongside series writer Keiko Nobumoto. Series producer Masahiko Minami will serve as a production consultant.

Erwin Stoff ("The Day the Earth Stood Still") is producing through his 3 Arts banner. Joshua Long will exec produce.

The television series first aired on Tokyo TV and Wowow in 1998. It eventually aired in the U.S. as part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block.

Fucking Reeves and Fuclking Hollywood.

Is it too late to convince Korea to launch bombs at them?

That's as close to a nightmare casting as I can imagine, no they just have to go find someequally pathetic bad female actress to play Faye and some washed up old actor whose best years are long behind him to play Jet and we can all bask in the misery of Hollywood.

Fucking Keanu Reeves really.

Is this going to be the kind of thing that you'll only enjoy if you're into Japanese animation?

No. It's going to be the kind of thing that you'll only enjoy if you've had a lobotomy.

Because people go and see his movies.

He's a terrible actor but I dug A Scanner Darkly, River's Edge, Point Break, Speed and the Bill & Ted flicks are gold.
