First of all is it real? ( If someone can show me proof then this topic will change as te movie gets closer. )
Well last anyone heard its real. But that could well change, couldnt it. I mean theres a tentative cast and everything, but movies often get cancelled at that sorta stage. Hope it doesnt though!
I don't really know, But this site ( http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/12/...p-involvement/ ), tells some information about it. if they do actually make a movie, i hope it doesn't end up something close to Dragonball the movie.
I sincerely doubt they would end up similar - just as dragon ball and cowbop are both great anime but worlds and worlds apart. If anything, the shorter, stylish cowboy bebop lends itself to movie format more Id say - it must be really hard to capture the essance of a 200+ epsiode anime in a couple of hours. However, cowboy bebop could be great if they get the look and feel right. I mean, even if its not 100% true to the anime, and does something a bit different, its a great premise and should turn out better. I mean its not hard to do right!?
I hope it's real but...I still doubt it..
It would have the potential of being fantastic.
A mixture of Blade Runner and a Karate flick.
Or rather, Ridley Scott circa 1981 and Jet Li circa 2000.
If it is real i want it to faye to be hot as hell. thats just bottom line. it has to happen or the movie wont be perfect. the problem is that if they did make a movie they dont need to screw it up like the dragonball evolution movie which in my opinion was not up to par ( agreeing with DarkMoonPrince). but it does have some potential to be a god idea. where did you hear this from?
I read about this in Anime Insider. I hope they don't screw up such a magnificent series as Cowboy Bebop
It is real and Keanu Reeves is playing Spike.
^I never heard that part. I guess they had Spike take the blue pill for the live action movie.
Whether or not it is real, don't get your hopes up.
If I remember correctly, they had an Akira live action scheduled, but it was canceled.
Honorable Mention: Naruto Live Action Performance 18th July to 31st August(look at the video to the right and tell that isn't pure fanboyism)
Honorable Mention: I love the part when they run in circles around the dude with the scythe...(at first I thought the dude was on the ground picking up skittles)
Catch your attention yet?
(sorry for off-topic-ness)
the magazine i read about it said they feared that it would be like the new dragon ball z movie. Cheap nothing exciting and more disappointed then if the movie never came out.
I say screw the live action and make a new anime movie, wasnt raping Dragonball enough?
I'm optimistic about the Bebop live-action movie; I recall reading an interview with the screenwriter for it, and he said that he really liked the anime and said they were working very closely with the original producers of Bebop. Now if only I could find a link to that interview...
Its suppose to have keanue reves in it hes suppose to play as spike, btw he rocks xD so itll be a good movie.

I love wiki. Course they don't always get it right...but most of the time...
Well this looks like a good idea, but after the dragon ball movie I will only have one reason to see this one..... Laugh...... sorry, but I really do hope it is good but I think they will somehow screw it up.
If any anime has a chance of being good in hollywood then this would be the one.
Spike is one of my all time favorite characters if Keanu Reeves screw's up im going to burn his house down.
Can they even do it? What part of the story are they gonna base the script on? Ballad of Fallen Angels, or at the end, with the death of Spike (it IS Keanu Reeves)? Will it be BEFORE Spike and Jet met up with Faye, Ein, and Ed? What about Vicious and Julia, and whatever triangle there has seemed to be?
