Whoa...Dude
So I have heard that the original “Dude” Keanu Reeves is going to be playing Spike in the the screen adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. From what I have seen of the anime it could be a good choice. I don’t think Reeves is limited to that one type of character due to a few other movies he’s been in that I enjoyed (i.e. Matrix, Constantine). My main question is who would play Faye? I have a few suggestions:
Belle
Camilla Bell would be a good choice I think. It would allow her to possibly show more acting maturity. But she’d have to drop that Jonas Brother boyfriend of hers first. He probably wouldn’t approve but then again who really cares what the Jonas brothers think about anything other than 13 year old girls and Clay Aiken?
Yustman
Then there’s Odette Yustman who recently starred in that lame-o horror flick The Unborn. Which I will review later. Although that particular choice wasn’t her best work, she still could pull of the role off Faye I think. Plus she is a bit more edgy than Belle even though the she resembles the character less.
Either way I think that the movie would be interesting to see. Plus I think after all the comic-book-movie-mania lately we need some film adaptations of anything but.
Don’t get me wrong, comic books are great but there is only so much one can take of it in theaters. I mean, there are so many wonderful books that would make great movies not to mention the fact that less and less screenwriters are coming up with original material. (i.e. The Unborn). Hollywood, where has the originality gone?
