Anime Gossip: Keanu Reeves to be Anime Hero Cowboy Beebop!
Anyone who is a fan of Anime might be familiar with the character Cowboy Beebop, a futuristic bounty hunter in the 2070’s. I first enjoyed the toon several years ago when Anime wasn’t all that common though many recognized characters like Sailor Moon and Hello Kitty. Cowboy Beebop was an early adult swim classic with its gritty and raw moody hero plot with plenty of fun supporting characters to make it worthwhile. Currently you can buy the cartoon series written by Keiko Nobumoto on DVD.
The latest gossip is that actor Keanu Reeves has been tapped to play the main character. 20th Century Fox picked up the Anime megahit and is going to start production right away. The pick is a good one according to many fans who can’t wait to see Keanu in action. After his cool role in 2008’s The Day the Earth Stood Still along with other great sci-fi classics, Keanu seems to be finding himself a science fiction staple.
The economy has had yet another tragic casualty as an unemployed temporary worker in Osaka was found starved to death in his Osaka apartment. Starvation is only one of the fears plaguing individuals world wide during these trying times.
