We haven't heard anything from the live-action "Cowboy Bebop"
movie front in a while, so when MTV News had the chance to chat up Keanu
Reeves, the actor
bringing main character Spike Spiegel to the screen, we made sure to check
in on the adaptation of the beloved anime series.
"There's a draft of the script, but the writer did such a great job [that]
in order to make the movie, you would need half a billion dollars," Reeves told
MTV News during a press event for "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," his recent
film with Robin Wright Penn.
The writer in question is likely Peter Craig, who previously spoke out
about how
"extremely faithful" his screenplay was to the original anime series. Craig
reportedly met with the anime's producers back in December and went home with a
detailed letter regarding the adaptation.
However, Reeves indicated that the writer's adherence to the
galaxy-spanning adventure of the full entire series might prove a little
daunting for production.
"So the studio went, 'This movie is fantastic and it would cost half a
billion dollars," laughed Reeves, "so he's doing a rewrite."
As far as who'll be appearing in the film, Reeves hinted that everyone from
Spike to Ein could factor into the movie's storyline.
"Everyone is in there," said Reeves.
"The only challenge was to make a satisfying western narrative out of the
kind of storytelling that happens," he added. "There's a great draft, so we're
just trying to pull it back a little bit now."
いまだ脚本段階で、正確な予算が固まっていないとはいえ、この話進んでいたんだねぇ。
AKIRAはどうなってんの？だとか、ドラゴンボールの二の舞にならないだろうなぁ…だなんて心配はあるんだけどね。
それにしても、ビバップの脚本ってそんなに練られてたのか？だなんて疑問はさておき、キアヌはジェットをやるんじゃなかったっけ？
