- TheCash, on 07/23/2008, -2/+109I'd rather they just release another full length anime movie, like Knocking on Heavens Door. I love the franchise, but I really don't see how they could do it justice with the live action format because the producers never take the source material seriously.
Cartoon does not always equal Kamp, but chances are Faye is going to be a retarded bimbo, Spike is going to be less Malcom Reynolds and more brooding Jet Li, Ed will be some horrible cross between those brats from Spy Kids, and Ein will be played by a Chihuahua or whatever breed that played well with focus groups. Feh - solesoul, on 07/23/2008, -1/+62I can guarantee this, along with everything else that will go wrong, this movie wont even be able to get the musical score right.
Get ready to see Spike fight to My Chemical Romance. The first time Faye shows up on screen, the latest pop princess song will be blaring. - cerealjynx, on 07/23/2008, -3/+56Starring Man Faye as Faye Valentine!
- scoottie, on 07/23/2008, -18/+71will it suck like Speed Racer did?
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -2/+49NO NO ***** YOU FOX STAY THE ***** AWAY FROM THE BEBOP!
- Saulidus, on 07/23/2008, -3/+38It will end with a bang
- fakesinatra, on 07/24/2008, -2/+32Do
Not
Want - zaul32, on 07/24/2008, -0/+28when I read "My Chemical Romance" I threw up in my mouth a little.
- vegdigg, on 07/24/2008, -2/+26I'm on board if they get Yoko Kanno to score it.
- thrikulam, on 07/23/2008, -2/+25SPIKUH
- chicken101, on 07/24/2008, -4/+26dugg for *****.
- buddha1822, on 07/23/2008, -2/+24Speed Racer didn't suck... At least I enjoyed it.. but these two movies are WAY different!
- katanaswordfish, on 07/24/2008, -0/+19Now that the Hollywood movie industry has raped all the American comics, they're moving on to raping anime.
- martinj88, on 07/23/2008, -3/+22I loved the anime (first I ever watched) but anime to live action is just as bad as games to film, they just don't work.
but on the bright side cowboys and spaceships kinda worked for firefly so maybe we have a small chance of this not sucking like a 1k hooker.....maybe - Tehzz, on 07/24/2008, -2/+18There is almost no way this can go well. If it's anything short of a complete disaster, I'll be stunned.
- Haoie, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14Maybe it'll get stuck in development, like the so lauded Evangelion film.
- LittleDas, on 07/24/2008, -3/+16it will suck like Speed Racer did.
fixed - RAEP, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13DYKE SPIES
- NYCEST124, on 07/23/2008, -12/+24This is actually great news...can they also do Samurai Champloo?
- deviationer, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13***** live action. Make another season.
- OSXpert, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12Yeah, this is great news, because we all know Fox has never ***** up anything resembling Cowboy Bebop before...like....say....a TV show about a band of misfit vigilantes in a western inspired future?
sigh... - vegdigg, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12Cowboy Bebop came first by about four years, and there's no time traveling involved. Have you seen Cowboy Bebop?
- amanilaenvelope, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13So true and to make matters worse they're also in current production of dragon ball z, another childhood memory that is being shattered.
- DUISnipe, on 07/24/2008, -0/+11They wouldn't dare do anything besides jazz. It would be fanboy-audience suicide.
- SonOfDisaster, on 07/24/2008, -0/+11I hope this isn't the beginning of Hollywood bastardizing anime.
- 9bpm9, on 07/24/2008, -8/+18Spike's dead.
- amanilaenvelope, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9If its with tentacles, then i'm cool.
- InfinitySnatch, on 07/24/2008, -2/+11NO
- txtphile, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8I'd watch 90 minutes of Yoko tuning her piano. What a talent.
- frozensnake, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8i actually thought speed racer was awesome. but then again i have the mind of a ten year old boy
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7I think it will suck. Come on, Hollywood doesn't even know how to make a good movie out of a good game title, do you think they will make a movie out of an Anime and respect the original story? Just take a good look at what the Dragon Ball movie is becoming: pure *****. They don't even seem to have Krillin on the plot!
- iMyst, on 07/24/2008, -1/+8You watch anime with your mother?
- radsprack, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7Nope, just Dragonball.
- Blandyman, on 07/24/2008, -1/+8Wrong. The score to COWBOY BEBOP is great music.
The score to most others is annoying digitized ***** with ***** singers belting. - Kruez, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7Fake movie poster from 2003 -

... wow. Fox has this one? Awesome. Lemme just file this under "failed".
Please, please let my biased opinions prove me wrong. - RavagesOfTime, on 07/24/2008, -2/+8Sam Jackson as Jet Black is all I'm asking for.
- orangester, on 07/24/2008, -1/+7For the live-action version to work, it needs to be just as dark and gritty as the anime, not over the top and cartoony.
- Charklii, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6The main thing that annoys me about MCR is that they aren't called a boy-band often enough.. And I mean, that is what they are - some pretty boys in make up - right?
Otherwise noone is forcing me to listen to them so no harm done :s - ramunenke, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6That alone would force me to watch the movie, buy the soundtrack, and watch the movie again
- iamtenninjas, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6The cosplay is about to get three thousand times worse.
- DUISnipe, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6Holy crap, I just made the connection.
- Crisender111, on 07/24/2008, -5/+10MBM=Buried
Follow this rule. - InfinitySnatch, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5You know what this leaves. In 2010, get ready for Mobile Suit Gundam. With Shia LaBeouf as Amura Ray and Orlando Boom as Char Aznable.
Ow, I made myself vomit. - Blandyman, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5You can turn a TV show (especially an anime) into a movie (from the same team and art style and all) it's obviously not gonna suck, because it's just like a 3-episode story arch, in one hour and a half sitting.
However, turning a Japanese-influenced animation, into an American-influenced live-action film, with two entirely different teams and none of the original creators or original team working on it, it would be difficult. Unless this new team really has the vision of the old team, or were real fans, or even moderate fans and understand how to create an original story that can work in that universe... but it'll be hard. - NomortaL1, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5If they make it somewhat even similar to Firefly, it should be awesome.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5I have 3 corgis, they can gladly use one of mine for the role!
- Dotcommer, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5Wow. really? I mean... come on.. really.... THAT picture made you explode?
- DUISnipe, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5I'd settle for making Jet black just for Sam Jackson. Who better to be a master mechanic, an all around tough-guy, a great detective, and a rampant plant enthusiast?
- Murdats, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5he means it ripped firefly off, by travelling to the future, stealing firefly and then copying it in the past.
