Glad to see sunrise is involved and if Watanabe and Nobumoto are involved the movie shouldn't suck hardcore like dragonball did.

I'm pretty excited about this - I really hope it doesn't suck balls

Eh.... Not too excited about hearing Keanu playing Spike, he might be able to pull it off. But Im looking forward to the film!

No other news about that. I'm still waiting patientky for them to reveal who will play Faye Valentine.

[Robin Sena]

Hope it's not that bloody pig, Cameron Diaz.

I doubt she will.

I wouldn't mind Mila Kunis playing Faye. *drool*

Keanu might just be able to pull it off but I curious how his hair might be to resemble the Spike we know and love! If he does wear a suit I might just mistake him for John COnstantine.
