Cowboy Bebop Live Action!!

[catsfilmingtea]

Have you heard? If not...here is the link. I'm a bit disappointed by who they're planing to cast as Spike. (Okay...a bit more than a little. A LOT disappointed.) I'm really glad they're keeping the original staff, etc. involved and have to sign off on the script. Also, we can be happy that the movie will have a large budget as well as a good chance

My boyfriend and I have been having nerdy discussions on the casting and so forth. The whole idea of CB going through the American filter is well...rage inducing.

Keanu Reeves, as much as the guy lacks in acting I've "come to terms" with him as Spike. We decided to give Constantine a try yesterday and shockingly we were blown away his "Spike-isms."

Now, that still leaves us with casting. As fans we all know CASTING IS CRUCIAL.

I might have to cut a bitch if they cast my favorite character, Faye Valentine as some Hollywood "IT" girl.

The only ray of light is that the people doing the movie know how difficult it will be. They know that they have to obey the true nature of CB. Plus, Wantanabe is exec. producer. That makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

On a side note, SpikexFaye on screen? I'll sign off on it. ;)

We can only hope for the best. *crosses fingers*

Oh Keanu, just sit and look pretty. Pleeease act weeell. --;;

[catsfilmingtea]

Oh! I don't mind him being Spike as much after seeing this picture. :)

And thank you for the kind comment. Heehee. ^__^

[boyheronet]

hm. you know. i have no problem with keanu playing spike. i don't see the big deal. it could have been a lot worse. but that pic of him you posted is super cute and it gives me a lot to look forward to.

the thing that concerns me is the spike/faye interaction. it would break my heart if they decided to just have it center around spike and julia. that's really the only thing that worries me. haha. i'm just a sad, sad shipper.

[my_private_muse]

Omg, I know.

I'm all for, "follow the series!" But damn, I know how American audiences work.

It's what they did to Harry/Hermione (Which was fine by me!)---They're going to want that Spike and Faye interaction.

And honestly, I've seen the series numerous times and have done all that fun nerdy studying on their relationship. For me, there was one. Even Wantanabe stated as much, but there just wasn't time for focus on it.

Besides, now we're dealing with actors with real chemistry. I'll be the happiest Saye Shipper in the world if Keanu and Faye (Jolie, plz) will have more than just a platonic relationship.

A girl can dream right? Never know, I think we might be pleasantly surprised.

[my_private_muse]

Oh and by the way, many of us in the CB community especially the ones that rally around SpikexFaye REALLY appreciate what you're trying to do.

It's no easy job from what I can tell, but I'm pretty sure you've become the Internet's SpikexFaye Doujin Hotspot.

Anything I can do, let me know! I CANNOT WAIT to see the doujin, that is certainly a treasure trove you have. Lmao.

[my_private_muse]

No way! LOL. It was definitely kismet that you got them then. =D

I'd be okay with them keeping his hair like that even...*covers mouth*

Lmao, I feel your pain.

Oh hell, if it was up to me they wouldn't touch it. But I can breathe a sigh of relief when I don't have to worry about Shia LeBouf *insert random boy here* getting near our Spikey~.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather have Angelina Jolie be Faye then like...Lindsey Lohan. --; There's a great Italian actress but I highly doubt Hollywood would look her way.

[catsfilmingtea]

Oh! I would like it if Angelina played Faye. I doubt she'd take the role, but I would be really happy. She has the figure, and the acting skill to pull it off. Shia LeBouf...*dies*

[my_private_muse]

Likewise. I just can't see anyone else in that role. Guh, if the creators make that happen, I swear, I'll be the happiest fan ever.

I could stomach the whole idea of CB being made if the casting is on point. I'm good there.

And maybe make Julia non-existent...Ahem, well, it's just a thought. >>;

[boyheronet]

i think if they cast faye, they will go with an actress that has good chemistry with keanu and not necessarily an "IT" girl. that's what i like to believe and i'm pretty sure that's how most of his films go anyway.

since spike is being portrayed by reeves, the actresses i would picture with him are either:

michelle monaghan *
jaime king
selma blair
malin akerman *

i'm not saying that's how it should be but i think they're a lot more inspired then what i've been reading from most people: megan fox.

[my_private_muse]

Megan Fox.

That's my worst nightmare.

[catsfilmingtea]

I also like Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, etc.). Perhaps Milla Jovovich too...(Resident evil, etc.) They would just have to stuff their chest. XD

[my_private_muse]

Michelle Monaghan = I concur.
