Well this news is definitely welcome. It sounds like it may actually work pretty well. *crosses fingers.*

Things are looking up. Dare I hope?

I have to leave this thread forever.

People are saying Ben Affleck is a decent actor.

Dude, you were saying Keanu Reeves is a great actor, like, 2 pages ago.

You have absolutely no right to criticize.

Care to show me where I said that on this thread? Oh. Wait. I did not. I said I liked his work.

(someone mentioned where this might go in an IM)

Lemme explain. While I enjoy Keanu in most of his films, I won't say he is an amazing actor. Just like some of the music I like I may enjoy...that does not mean it's great music. Ben Affleck on the other hand, makes the babies cry.

WOW.

Isn't it strange that they're making Live-Action movies based of off anime/mangas latley? I mean Death Note now CB? I've never seen/read CB, so I'm not sure what to think...but...I still think it's a little...strange?

Personally, I'll all for the Death Note movie (as long as the get it right

) But I think some animes should STAY anime.

^ I second that... for instance, DBZ should NOT be anything but anime/manga! Ugh, I can't believe they're making that one into a live action. I just can't see it going well.

However, Cowboy Bebop has promise. There are enough scifi movies out there that are similar to CB, like Serenity aka Firefly for instance. So I think they could pull it off. The only thing is, will they? These people do tend to ruin movies that are based on stuff like this. I have my doubts and worries, but this one could be pulled off.

Let me stress could be.

Well, they did announce an Akira movie...

Postby **animeantics** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 4:25 pm

Yes, and I heard that it *should* be out by 2011.

Postby **That Dude** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:42 pm

Along with the Akira movie they are also planning on doing Robotech...

Wow, I don't know about the hair...Kinda creepy...That's one thing I don't think that should happen, I think his hair should be about as poofy as they can get it, but that picture is just plain distracting.

OK, but if he says "whoa," I'm leaving the theater.

I'm curious to see the movie just to see how badly they mess it up. :eyeroll:

Postby **That Dude** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 9:22 am

Actually it's sounding like it might actually be good, because many of the original anime people are going to be involved. So they won't let it get to bad...Otherwise I'm sure they'd pull out.

I'll think of something.

I can make all of you think of a much worse situation with two words: Shia LeBouf
Now you can ever complain about Keanu Reeves doing it again. (Well, you can, but it still could be LeBouf.) I'm more worried about who they're going to get to play Edward.... that Dakota Fanning comment makes me want to cry...

Postby **That Dude** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 4:06 pm

I hope that they have good enough sense to keep Dakota Fanning away from that roll.

My MAL · Postby **Fantasy Dreamer** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 4:13 pm

Dakota Fanning could not pull Edward off. Ugh!

Postby **Kkun** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 5:47 pm

Okay. Since there isn't a darn thing I can do to keep this monstrosity from happening, I'm going to go with it. That being said, I want Rachel Leigh Cook as Faye.

Any questions?

...you, Kkun, stop being right. It irks me.

Kkun, she does kinda look like Faye. But do you really think they'll pick who would be best for the roll? I mean, they've already cast Keanu Reeves as Spike, so I mean... Here's to hoping I guess.

No, I don't think they will. Besides, Rachel Leigh Cook hasn't been prominent for a while. I've just had a crush on her since I was like 13 and think she looks perfect for the role. But no, they will not. Because they are heartless. And greedy.

yes, this is true, sadly. Don't forget cheap. You have to remember that one.
