Awhile ago, we heard that there was going to be a real-live film adaption of the beloved anime "Cowboy Bebop" in 2011. We found out later that the Keanu Reeves will be playing the character of Spike. In an interview with MTV, Reeves says that the script is being rewritten.
""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 said.
It seems that Peter Craig is rewriting the script. It's funny how the excuse for the script being rewritten is that it would cost way too much to make the movie. I think that is a way to say that the studio got their grubby, little hands on it, and are now trying to change it to appeal to the masses. I am worried that it won't be faithful to the anime series anymore.
I bet there will now be a director's cut with how the movie was really envisioned before the studio decision makers, who usually don't know much, started giving their opinion.
