Keanu Reeves Says Cowboy Bebop Getting A Rewrite

reeves-cowboy-bebop-2While doing interviews for his soon to be released film “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee”, Neo himself updated the future of the film version of Keiko Nobumoto’s Anime tale of bounty hunters of the starship Bebop, traversing the solar system hunting down the bad guys for fame and fortune.

MTV has it on film for you to enjoy. Keanu talks about the scope of the film and why the current draft would just be too expensive to make. Thanks Splashpage for the juice.

    Ahhh, money, money, money… All I have to say is, they better not cut out the quality in favor of the dosh. Furthermore, I very much hope they don’t try and cram the whole (main) story into one film. Frankly, I think that’d be far to risky at best. People need time to assimilate a story, the charaters etc. If a story this complex and large is condensed, and then wrapped up in the space of 2-3 hours, I for one think it’s too much at once.
    However, I have high hopes for this, and I believe in Shinichiro, He wouldn’t greenlight anything less than that which honors his vision well. I have a feeling MR K.Reeves is going to give this one his all, And personally, I think he can do it.

    Here’s hoping…!!
