‘Cowboy Bebop’ is going live action!

With the recent flick “Speed Racer” flopping and the unexciting news of an “Akira” remake this story gets my blood a boiling!! They are talking about making a live action “Cowboy Bebop”!!!! If you have not seen the greatest anime to come out of Japan you are missing out! The story, the animation, the music! Oh god the music is phenomenal!!! As long as they keep the story, or write a good one, use the music from Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts and have some great effects this movie will be fan-double-tastic! It may not be the most popular anime from Japan so it may also flop at the box office. I hope that it will expose this great anime to more people and it will become more popular. If they are going to make a Dragonball and Speed Racer flick they have to make movies of far superior source material. Erwin Stoff is the producer and he also worked on “A Scanner Darkly” and “Constantine” so he is familiar with Keanu. I like Keanu, I have no problems with him… I just don’t see him as Spike Spiegel. I just wonder who will play Faye!

If you have not seen “Cowboy Bebop” I urge you to check it out. For just a taste of the music check out the opening title sequence. “Tank” is the name of the tune.
