Following my post from many moons ago it has been revealed that Spike will be played by Keanu Reeves in the Cowboy Bebop Live action film, this in my opinion will be a good thing.

Joshua Long is acting as a production supervisor. The associate producers are Sunrise President Kenji Uchida, the original Cowboy Bebop director Shinichiro Watanabe, and the original series script supervisor Keiko Nobumoto.
The Sunrise studio itself and Masahiko Minami (former Sunrise producer and BONES studio co-founder) are both acting as production consultants.

I think it’ll be very interesting to see Keanu do this role. I’m excited!
Keanu is going to do his usual monotone flat Keanu Reeves saves the world replay, like he does in all his movies. Do you really think anyone is going to get passed that ego? Next he’ll trash the remake of Kung Fu as Kwai Chang Caine. Oh the humanity. Excuse me as I serenade the toilet!
Um if you haven’t noticed in the series Spike is pretty monotone so I think Keanu fits the roll. I’m not expecting any high caliber acting either just a good action movie with a good story, and Keanu does a pretty good job in the genre in my opinion. I’m holding out high hopes so I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
