am i smelling another keanu thread?

Are you saying that's a bad thing? Fuck off weeaboo Keanu is more than you deserve.

Show some compassion you heartless fuck. Give him happiness for a few days.

>>9748689
Hell yes you are.

Honestly who else would play Spike? I think he's perfect for the role.

And I'm not just saying that because of all the sad Keanu shit lately, I thought this ever since it was first announced. Plus he's a fan of the anime and he'd care about doing it justice.

>>9748685

As a young actor, Reeves' best friend was River Phoenix. They made My Own Private Idaho together, and joked about filming Romeo and Juliet with Reeves as Romeo and Phoenix as Juliet. Reeves was filming Speed when Phoenix died. Reeves' life has had its share of tragedy. His sister Kim is battling leukemia, and Reeves has reportedly spent in excess of $5 million on her medical care. He has long been estranged from his natural father, who served a prison term for selling heroin. He dated a backstage Hollywood worker, Jennifer Syme, who bore his stillborn daughter in 1999. They broke up but remained friends, until she was killed in a 2001 car accident.

>>9748731
>Plus he's a fan of the anime and he'd care about doing it justice.

That doesn't change the fact that he's a shit actor.

>>9748767
at least he's had a girlfriend. unlike me

>>9748767
You forgot the part about him being an incredibly handsome millionaire who's adored by millions.

Wow, how sad.

All the money in the world couldn't save his dying sister.

You guys think that money is so important, it's pathetic.

Keanu Reeves was seen at a Burger King knocking a tray out of a young workers hands telling them "You a shitty server."

Spike Spiegel does three things:
1. Stand around looking cool.
2. Not talk much.
3. Kung Fu.

Keanu Reeves does four things:
1. Stand around looking cool.
2. Not talk much.
3. Kung Fu.
4. Eat sandwiches.

It's a perfect match.

Yeah and it's taken at least $5 million to keep his sister alive. What would you do with that kind of money? Nothing that awesome I can tell you that, Mr. Sarcasm-pants.

>>9748891
So he's spent 5 million to keep his sister alive. Wow. Tell that to the people too poor to keep their family members alive. I'm sure they'll be impressed. (And a lot sadder than Keanu supposedly is.)

Keanu will be shit. Also, what makes anyone think a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie will be good? Why does anyone think a live-action version of any animated film/series is a good thing?

'Yep that UP film was pretty okay, it would be cool if they made a live action version though.'

Obvious samefag

No one thinks Keanu Reeves is handsome except you

>>9748989
No cause that was already a film.

It'll just be interesting to see a live action take on it. Plus Keanu is a good choice in my opinion because he can pull off kung fu and stunts, he is a fan of the anime and can pull off the right attitude and voice.

Who do you think'd be better then?

Keanu is the one funding it and the one that pushed for it. Of course he's going to put himself in a movie that he has a big part in making. Not to mention he's already a fan of the anime.

>>9749009
It's because of people like you that shit gets made.

I bet you saw Transformers 2 in the cinema, didn't you? And you thought it was bad, didn't you? And you'll go see Transformers 3 in the cinema too. Because you are a fucking retard.

He isn't going to be recast because its his project and he's the one that helped it get off the ground and pushed for it.

>>9748989
>Why does anyone think a live-action version of any animated film/series is a good thing?

So Iron Man and The Dark Knight were crappy movies?

>>9749009

>>9748992

No what you said is that they wouldn't be impressed if you told them his story. How did you imagine their unimpressed reaction to be? A silent shrug? The other posters were just adding to what you said with hypothetical responses from the people.

So read your own post again before freaking out. It's not about how there are people with it worse off than Keanu. Maybe if I knew who they were and appreciated something they'd done in the past or were going to do I'd give a shit about their lives, but they're nobodies and there's no point pretending to care.

>>9749044
Neither of those are based on an animated series, so... what?

Also, since you're asking... YES, Iron Man IS a shit movie.

STICKY THIS FUCKING POST

>>9749070

There are multiple Batman and Iron Man animated series

>>9748989

It's not that he looks like him, faggot, it's that they act and speak exactly the same. Spike is supposed to be mellow and deadpan.

Also Cowboy Bebop isn't cartoony. It's a gritty crime drama set in outer space with jazz music. If you ask me it's the one anime just begging for a live-action adaptation and has the potential to be a pretty badass movie.

>>9749025

Yeah I saw transformers 2 in the cinema, I thought it was actually reasonably enjoyable.

Durrrrr, maybe they're opposed to those too?

>>9749188

How else would you describe it? Broke bounty hunters flying around the solar system chasing criminals and the main story arc is about the mafia.

>>9749243
Well I definitely wouldn't call it a "gritty crime drama" when every episode (even the "serious" ones) are full of humor.

>>9749243
It's not a "main story arc" when it only lasts two episodes.

What. That makes no sense? You think the film will suddenly make the anime any worse?
If anything it'll give it some publicity and more people will go watch it.
Or is it because you just didn't want Keanu in it? In which case who do you think could replace him?

>>9749356
>In which case who do you think could replace him?

You keep asking this when it's quite clear that we don't want a replacement for him. WE JUST DON'T WANT THE MOVIE. PERIOD.

>Spike does NOT act like a bimbo surfer boy.

Neither does Keanu, his voice just kind of sounds like one. If your complaint is based purely on the voice, then that's not much of a complaint because Steve Blum voices like every anime dub character ever and he was not Spike's original voice anyway.

>Why you so mad?

Not mad, just disappointed. People are acting like Keanu will ruin this movie or something even though he totally fits the bill for his role. This isn't like Constantine or The Day The Earth Stood Still where he is completely miscast, and the only real reason people dislike him is because he's in a lot of shitty movies like those.

>>9749372

Yeah but why not? What does the movie's existance do to affect you?

Worried it'll tarnish the anime's good name? It's not like the show belongs to you. The creators can give the rights to who they like and i'm sure as a fan Keanu will do what he can not to ruin it.

>>9749391
seriously what's the deal? there will always be live action movies to an anime, vidio game, etc.
they may be shit but they don't take away the fun from the original.

Both. But if I had to choose i'd probably go with live action, since I want to see what it's like. I've already seen that it works as an anime.

>>9749446
>they may be shit but they don't take away the fun from the original.
Yeah, I never have understood why people rage about this shit so much. Remakes are like advertisements for the originals, leading more people to seeing the classics.

>>9749421
>the only real reason people dislike him is because he's in a lot of shitty movies like those

Oh, and this will just suddenly, somehow NOT be a shitty Keanu movie. Because of your pure-hearted hope for the film. Right.

You actually think the morons who go out in droves and turn shitty remakes into million-dollar blockbusters actually give a shit about where the films originally came from?

And do you really think that all the shitty remakes that have come out lately actually inspire people to check out the source material? They're all shit! Why would anyone want to watch them again?

ITT: 2 people defending the film and 1 person bashing it.

I'm gonna go and kill your friends and loved ones, then tell you that you can't make a film of your favorite anime cause it'll be shit and you're shit. So you can see how it feels.

>>9749483
>Oh, and this will just suddenly, somehow NOT be a shitty Keanu movie.

Considering how Sunrise is doing the script and will immediately drop the movie if the script sucks (According to the contract they signed with Keanu at least) I say it has a fair chance of being decent.

hollywood needs to know that adaptions will bomb, so they'll stop making em

Underage confirmed

>>9749536

Thread over, movie's happening. Nothing we can do to change it. He's perfect for the role. Don't have to see it if you don't want to. Perfectly acceptable for there to be an anime to live action adaptation yadayadayada.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the few anime with storyline (excluding filler) and characters that come across as adult.

>>9748989
>Why does anyone think a live-action version of any animated film/series is a good thing?

This. I want all the supporters of the Cowboy Bebop live action movie to name 10 great live-action conversion movies.

Shouldn't be too hard, should it?

Just look at remakes/adaptations as homages to the original and quit being babies.

The anime is a classic and nothing is going to touch it, but it's still a cool setting and atmosphere that a lot of people would love to see translated into live action.

>>9749734 name 10 great live-action conversion movies

This. Can't do it, can you?

>>9749522
>They're all shit!

3:10 to Yuma and Scarface disagree

Cowboy Bebop was heavily westernized. It has a sense of humor, but it's not typical animu humor.

>>9749795

None of those were originally cartoons

Guys?

That's what I thought.

Lunchtime now.

Can anyone name FIVE (I'll make it easier for you) good movies that were adapted from ANIMATED SERIES.

Well then not even Cowboy Bebop applies then since it originally wasn't an anime either

>>9749942
I can't figure out if the people saying things like this in this thread are actually pitiably stupid or if they're trolling.

Yes, some of these properties had several different incarnations in several different media. Their live-action movies were based off their cartoon versions, though (except maybe Garfield).

Please be smarter.

>>9749952
Yes it was.

Well this is bullshit then, because there are very few films that even fit that criteria. Hell, naming five at all would be hard.

>>9749965

Definitely not true for G.I. Joe, it was close to the comics.

>>9749991
Still fat?

The manga was made during production of the show, and released before the show was aired.

Or do you really think they bought the rights to the manga and animated the entire series in less than 3 months?

You're so fucking fat it's unreal.

Turning Garfield and G.I. Joe into a movie is not the same thing as turning Cowboy Bebop into a movie.

What does this have to do with anything? Can you name more than one or two good comic book adaptations before 1997? Now there's a lot of them. And even if movies like Punisher and Watchmen were shit, the original material is still fantastic.

What the fuck? Making a Cowboy Bebop movie will make the anime bad? No. Even if it's a terrible movie, it'll make people go check it out. Even the buzz around the film and the trailers will make people check it out. Besides, anybody who would like to watch Cowboy Bebop and hears about it will watch it regardless.

It's not like my sixty year old mother is gonna say "fuck this, I'm not watching it" after seeing the movie? No, because she wasn't interested in it in the first place.

Why not give the movie a chance? Maybe it will surprise you. If it doesn't, go watch the series again and smile. Don't take this kind of shit so seriously.

And I swear to God, if you don't answer this post in a rational, calm manner, I'm gonna have to agree with everybody else and call you an angry fifteen year old.

The show was episodic and they could do pretty much whatever they want with the movie. Just get the four crew members and a Welsh corgi, put them on a ship, and have them chase some bad guys around Jupiter and solve a mystery for 90 minutes while cool jazz music plays and bam, you have Cowboy Bebop.

What are people so worried about?

It's just a movie based off some shitty anime Oceans Eleven rip off. Grow up

>>9750221
Hello fellow poster! :3

I never said the anime will be ruined by the movie. I don't think it will, not at all. I agree completely with your post.

My point was simply that good animation to live action films hardly ever happen, and are nothing more than a quick buck for some producers.

I don't understand why live-action movies should be more exciting than animated ones. If I was to ask people if they thought the Cowboy Bebop SERIES would have been better animated, or live action, they'd say animated, of course.

My question is simply this. What about seeing real people in a movie... gives you a thrill? You see live action all the time. And besides, anything interesting, like spaceships, are going to be ANIMATED anyway... so... I just don't understand the appeal.
