    I don't know about you guys...but CB has the potential to be a kick-*** live action film...

    I know that most " animation-to-live action movies" end up sucking (cough cough Final Fantasy cough cough) but I think Cb might be an exception...

    Here are the actors I think would make good starting roles...

    Spike- Brandon Lee ( if was still alive)
    Vicous- Johnny Depp( remeber how badass he was in Blow...
    He's also strarring as Ghost Rider in the upcoming movie...can't wait for that to come out...)
    Jet- The guy who played the Ranger Captain in Black Hawk Down (the bald guy) or Tom Sizemore
    Faye- Jannete "The Tarantula" Lee (she's not an actress.....but she looks like Faye and she's hot...really hot...)
    Jullia- Some Random Blonde Chick...
    Ed- hmm.........I have no idea...
    Ein- That dog from ...um...that movie....

    Thats about it...sorry if I left out any other important characters...

    By the way...this is my first ever post...so don't flame me if someone has created this topic before...I don't know about you guys...but CB has the potential to be a kick-*** live action film...

    Nope this has not been done before.

    But for your first post I must say its well done.. Except for the fact there never was a Live Action movie of Final Fantasy. that was Totaly COmputer animation

    Now Would I want to see a live action movie done of Cowboy Bebop.. Only if it HAs a Huge Budget so that it does not end up being some crapy B movie..

    But yes i Think it could be Done.. They Even had a Sci Fi show out for a while called FireFly that had some simalarities with the Space cowboy idea.

    Now as for the Characters. Id not Use Brandon Lee even if he was alive for spike.. They look nothing alike..

    Frankly id want to see some no name actors who look the part instead of geting Big names that dont look the part and wont even do them any justice.

    Anyway i cant ever see them doing a live action movie of bebop myself though..

    Would be a huge disappointment if they did, besides, like Hitokiri_Gensai said, it would be a big budget film.

    Cowboy Bebop should and will always only be anime!!!

    Cool poster to say the least.. But the fact that even for a joke they put cameron Diaz as Faye.. they Should Be Shot.. and Bunsie is right.. she does not have the Boobs to pull faye off.

    But IM sure if the movie was done right you could pull bebop off.. if Its done right and not just some money grab.

    I'd rather see a live action Macross Plus film or something... that'd be tight. :)

    I dunno, Bebop could be cool tho... I'd almost hate to see Hollywood do it tho, they'd prolly mess up so much... if they did it in Hong Kong tho, it could be really cool. Well, I dunno... who knows unless they try? And you KNOW they'll try, eventually...

    I gotta say, I'm already afraid of some of the anime->live action flicks planned by Hollywood:
    Akira
    Kite
    Lupin III
    Dragonball Z
    Battle Angel

    and not to forget the Gainax/ADVFilms plan for Evanagelion.... *sigh*

    I'm so glad that's a hoax. And cameron D. could never be Faye either- your right. I think they cut her head off a picture, and pasted it on some cosplayer's body, etc. But it looks very real, I must say. Had me scared for a minute!!!

    They made a LIVE-action movie. About 6 minutes long.... And boy the corninous that ensued nearly made me piss my pants in laughter. They copied the broom fight with Electra and they used below B Movie quality and Jet had a british accent for christ sakes!! I was disappointed in Sunrise for making it. But oh well any Live Action anime attempts never turn out well. just watch the old live action dragon ball movie they made. it was pitiful too. but was feature length.

    Maybe I only saw 15 eps or so, but sure it would be great to see a real movie for it :)
