The Keanu Trend … as Spike in ‘Cowboy Bebop’?

Hmm… Keanu Reeves seems to be making a “possible” silent return to Hollywood scifi-action-hero status, with several projects allegedly attaching to him. Since ‘The Matrix’ Keanu has been more of a drama kind of target, but now we are seeing him in movies like ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ and the future ‘Plastic Man’ … now he’s apparently the front-runner to play Spike Spiegel in the live-action feature adaptation of ‘Cowboy Bebop’. Seems Keanu has lots of fan-boys in the biz. Despite his lack of range, he does seem to fit well into films like ‘The Matrix’, ‘Constantine’Â  and ‘Johnny Mnemonic’. I’ve seen a few epsisodes of the ‘Cowboy Bebop’ anime series, but not enough to really know what’s going on… what do you anime fans out there think? Is this a good move or a tragic mistake?
