About the only thing I can hope for is that Reeve's gets replaced. On that thought, who do you guys think would be a Good Spike?
I'll start with Clive Owen to be Keanu's replacement.

As time goes on, I wonder how Keanu keeps getting work, because the guy has no facial expressions. I actually liked Constantine, because he was at least able to pull off the smart ass personality. Didn't go see TDTESS, even though, as the alien Klaatu, he doesn't have to worry about facial expressions.
However, it's a travesty to see him be cast as Spike. He doesn't do confident, yet bumbling. And that's what Spike was to me. He gets the job done, but he stumbles around from time to time. Of course, that could also be the fact that it was an anime. They all have some form of humor.
I would want to see Ryan Reynolds as Spike, honestly. He does good action movies in my opinion. He will soon have three comic book adaptations under his belt, being a major character in two.
:huh.:
Doesn't matter, I probably won't see it, unless I hear good things.

You know, my first instinct was to repeat "I need to Kill" over and over again when I first read this, but I think Ill do the adult thing and wait for the movie then see if I will need to flee to Mexico for manslughter. Who know, maybe what ever magic he had from Speed will comeback.

After seeing Sukiyaki Western Django, I want to see Miike do a version of Cowboy Bebop live action with Japanese actors.
The sad thing is that, if this was made in the seventies, I would have killed to see Sonny Chiba as Spike (for martial arts ability alone).
If I had to pick one English actor, I'd say Gerard Butler (especially after he played One-Two in Rocknrolla), but only if he could get the accent right. Anyways, Spike is near impossible to cast.
Oddly enough, seeing Cillian Murphy go insane in just about every role he plays makes me believe that he could play a good Vicious (if Vicious is in the movie at all).
I wouldn't mind seeing Keanu as Spike if they brought in Steve Blum to re-dub over his entire audio.
