Keanu Reeves Lined Up for 'Cowboy Bebop'

DateThu, January 15, 2009

Don't you just love it when the film-news sites break a story and then it takes months for the "official" trades to catch up?

Case in point: Alex Billington from First Showing ran with some info he got from an insider that Keanu Reeves was attached to star in a live-action film version of the Cowboy Bebop anime series.

So when we heard nothing from 20th Century Fox (the studio behind the film) or Reeves' reps in regards to said rumor, most of us assumed the story was crap.

Well, it wasn't. The folks over at Variety have officially confirmed that indeed The Matrix star (who just recently sleep-walked his way through The Day The Earth Stood Still remake) will headline as the space-traveling bounty hunter Spiegel.

Now personally, I don't give a damn about Cowboy Bebop - just never into the whole anime scene, to be honest.

Let's just hope this doesn't turn out like the upcoming Dragonball Evolution - which not coincidentally was also made by 20th Century Fox.

Sweet Jesus, does that look God-awful!
