Keanu Bebop


I just read that Keanu Reeves has been attached to the role of Spike in Fox's live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

In other news, Fox and Warners came to a settlement regarding Watchmen. It looks like Fox gets a cash payment from Warners to cover their initial development costs of the project as well as legal fees associated with the lawsuit. In addition, Fox gets gross participation of 5-8.5% depending on worldwide revenues. Finally, Fox will also be eligible for gross participation on sequels and spin-offs. Well played Fox. Well played. I imagine Warners will now look to recoup some of this from Larry Gordon so I will continue to watching the saga unfold.
