Cowboy Bebop Movie Needs a Re-Write

Copyright Shinichirō Watanabe, 1998

During an interview with MTV, Keanu Reeves disclosed that there was a finished version of the Cowboy Bebop script, yet it is apparently too good.

“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 told MTV News. “So the studio went, ‘This movie is fantastic and it would cost half a billion dollars, so he’s doing a rewrite.”

The writer of the script, Peter Craig, previously spoke about how extremely faithful this film will be to the original anime series. This is most likely the reason that the film would cost so much. Satisfying die-hard fans has been proven a tough thing to do, and with this anime series and its international following, it is one film you don’t want to screw up.
