I could live with a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie, I think.

But definitely not with Keanu Reeves. ARGH!

[moeyknight]

Yeah. The movie could be cool, but not with him.

Ted =/=Spike.

I always wonder who the Keanu is sleeping with to get these parts. :(

[moeyknight]

Maybe - otherwise, I don't get it. It's like he was in the Matrix and now they think he should be the lead in every scifi film from now on.

Well, in the US he's much more famous than the anime is. If he wants it, I'm sure the studio is happy to have a well-known name attached to what to them is some weird fringe Japanese thing.

I don't know if it's any consolation, but he seems to be a big fan.

OMG NOE!

No, no no. *headdesk*

I mean, I don't mind Keanu. But he's SO NOT SPIKE. SO.NOT.SPIKE.
