RedTigrr Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 There's another X-men?! Augh... or are ou refering to the Wolverine spinoff? Nope, there is talks of a 4th X-Men movie after the Wolverine movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (Maggie gyllenhaal should be shot. One of the worst female romantic interests I've ever seen in any movie). I almost cheered when her character got blown up...but I actually felt kinda bad for Batman and Dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I really hope they don't completely and utterly destroy a good name here. Never been a big fan of turning anime into live action movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricklozen Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Keanu Reeves as Spike? hahahaHAHAHA no. No. NO! Space him. He's simply wrong for most parts, what with his puny voice and all. Find a new guy. Don't stick with the default case. If they can't even think past Keanu Reeves, what hope is there for them to ditch all the other movie clichés? Anyway. We all need something to loathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Reeves as Spike is the only reason why this movie will bomb. People that haven't seen the series, but liked his work in the Matrix will go see it and wonder what the hell is going on. They will go in expecting it to be like his other movies, and get something completely different. Or worse, they will get the Matrix, but in space instead of a program. No thanks. People that have seen the series and the Matrix will see it for only two reasons: it's Cowboy Bebop, and they want to see how badly it will be butchered. I'd rather they hire completely new, unknown actors than use the same old obvious stock of big names that won't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotd2242 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 That would be worth something if it weren't for the fact that Spike uses Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotd2242 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nah, I got the joke. It was a bad one that could've been a good one if Spike used Kung Fu or some unknown mishmash of fighting styles downloaded into his brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio fidelity Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 his experience of kung fu training has got to be the only reason they are considering him, cause i don't see the connection between him and spike spiegle at all. spike is like the coolest mofo in the world and keanu can't live up to that. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ on wiki, it says spike was based on Yusaku Matsuda i can't look at him and think keanu reeves http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w304/b-sidecom/myspace/f7c95974.jpg here's more http://www.midnighteye.com/features/yusaku_matsuda.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FR Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I have yet to see a live action film based on any anime/comic/video game that has not made me regret the time/money wasted viewing said film(s).I hope they get this movie right but I doubt that will happen.

Thylacine Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 ...Okay, I'm not using that as evidence for a write-off. I mean, Keanu Reeves does look the part rather well. Give him tripped-out hair and the suit, and I think he could reasonably pull it off on the looks alone. And I can hear his voice synching up with Spike's (dubbed) voice pretty well, too. So that only leaves the actual "acting" part, which is unfortunately the biggest problem people have with Reeves. But considering that Spike is so carefree, I would hope that he would at least look at the source material. That would give the direction he'd need (i.e. away from Shakespeare and stiffness).

Tricklozen Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Actually, I recall I enjoyed his part in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Anyway. Doubt they'd ever dub him for Bebop. I'd agree with going for some "new" blood for this one, unless someone better comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike911 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'd rather they hire completely new, unknown actors than use the same old obvious stock of big names that won't fit. Agreed, but sadly big names are what sell easiest to a casual moviegoer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I don't think this is something your casual moviegoer would go watch. Then again, they got a huge turnout for that shitfest Spped Racer, and the bigger shitfest Dragon Ball will get even more. I really just wish studios would stop raping everything they can for movie ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadofsky Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 For me, Cowboy Bebop had the worst ending I've seen in an anime. But then again, I've watched very few animes. They just never really appealed to me that much. I loved the music on Bebop though, very well done. I have a few of the tracks from the albums...

Not to be snide, but you really haven't seen a lot of anime if Bebop had the worst ending you've seen. To be quite honest, I found the ending to be very fitting to the tone of the series and it's led into quite well. Yes, it does leave unanswered questions, but nothing about Bebop really breathed "happy ending." Though I do fully, and wholeheartedly agree with you about the music. Though a live-action movie? No. Just. No. Never. No. Don't. No. Some things are best left to animation, and this is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought the ending was very good, and fit the series well. The more I think about it, the more I am curious to how Reeves could do as spike. He'd have to NAIL it, which would counteract all his previous acting skills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
