You know...(upcoming Bebop live action related)

[Alucard]

I never thought I'd say it...

But Keanu Spike might not be all that bad.

I'm watching Street Kings www.imdb.com/title/tt0421073/ at the moment and he actually seems to have something of a personality in it, and he does a good enough job of being a badass gunfighter without the help of Matrixesque CGI. He's still pretty wooden but he seems to express more than his usual two emotions, "disbelief (whoa)" and "indifference", in short, he actually goes pretty hard. I never thought I'd buy Keanu as a badass.

In short, yeah.

It's still not who I would have picked, but...it might not be as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

[King of Fighters]

All Keanu has to do is act the way he usually does but add some cool to it. Spike wasn't the most emotive person for the most part. I have a bit of faith it'll be decent.

This latest Dragonball movie set live action anime films back a decade. I do not have faith in Cowboy Bebop.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

Spike was a pretty stoic character in the series but can Keanu put in that sense of cool?


And also, are we going to have TANK! as the opening theme for the film?

[Deleted]

Yeah. If you've seen My Own Private Idaho you know that Reeves has the ability.

He just doesn't choose to use it in his films.

The thing about Spike though - is that he smiles a lot. He's a very tortured character, but he very rarely looses control. He's also very enthusiastic about a challenge.

These are the main hurdles that Reeves will have to jump in order to play this character I think.

Dang. I thought this was going to be about Rocksteady's partner, and Ninja Turtle enemy, Bebob.

Keanu actually isn't near as bad an actor as everyone says he is. Sure he usually plays the same type of guy but you can say the exact same thing for half the actors in hollywood.

[weekendwarrior]

He plays the same type of guy in every film, but can you honestly say that anybody can play his specialty better than him?
