One of the big titles in anime, "Bebop" is set in a time where "astral gates" make interstellar travel possible. Humanity, decimated by a lunar explosion resulting from a gate accident, spread out across the solar system, as did crime, which gave rise to the use of bounty hunters. Reeves would play Spike Spiegel, a bounty hunter and former member of a crime syndicate. Spiegel, along with Jet Black, a fellow bounty hunter and former cop, are the two pilots of the spaceship Bebop. Peter Craig is writing the script. The show, which first aired on Tokyo TV and satcaster Wowow during the late 1990s, was strongly influenced by American music, even featuring action sequences -- both space battles and mano a mano -- timed to U.S. melodies. Sunrise president Kenji Uchida, the TV series' director of animation, Shinichiro Watanabe, and series writer Keiko Nobumoto will serve as associate producers. Series producer Masahiko Minami will serve as production consultant.

A lot of the time during Cowboy Bebop Spike shows very little emotion anyways. Yeah he doesn't, but he still has emotions such as sulking frowning, and the extraordinary grin he gives off. Ever since the matrix, it seems like he doesn't have emotions anymore.
	See you Space Cowboy... BANG...

Seeing as how well The Day the Earth Stood Still did at the box office, it may very well blow DBE out of the water. He's proven to be a hollywood force to be reckoned with. His casting alone may turn this movie into a hit.

It could turn out that DBE is awesome and everyone loves it for all we know. Anyways like I've said I like the choice for Spike and I hope to see some awesome things from this film.

I meant successful, not better. And they are two very different things. Cowboy may DO better just because of the lead, that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that it will BE better. When comparing the popularity of Reeves vs Chatwin, there's a clear winner here. DBE may possibly launch Chatwin into the stratosphere, but I really doubt it.
