Actor Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, Animatrix, Johnny Mnemonic) discussed the current status of the proposed live-action Cowboy Bebop film project with the Collider movie news website in a Monday interview. Reeves premiered his new film Henry’s Crime at the Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday.
When Collider asked for an update on the Cowboy Bebop project, Reeves responded:
I haven’t heard anything back. They turned in the script and it was very expensive. I don’t know if they’re going to…it would cost, like, half a billion dollars to make that script. So, I don’t know where it’s at right now.
Reeves had told MTV News last September that writer Peter Craig was rewriting the script. He added at the time that the producers were ‘just trying to pull it back’ in scope”
