An Evening on the Fireside with David 50
Hello everyone, for this Evening on the Fireside, I present to you a dream cast for a movie that’s in the really really early stages of maybe becoming a movie. The movie is a film adaptation of the classic anime, Cowboy Bebop. This is inspired for the fear that Fox actually wants to cast Keanu Reeves as the lead character, Spike Spiegel. This is one of those things that just don’t make sense to me. I don’t even know what would make someone even think of that pick.
I failed to come up with both a TV and movie actor to fill the spots, so if I come up with something, I’ll post an update.
Up first is the casting, and following that will be a bit of a description.
Spike
Movie Bradley Cooper
TV Joe Flanigan
Faye
Movie Eliza Dushku/Rosario Dawson
TV Stacy Keebler
Jet
Movie Ron Pearlman
TV Jim Beaver
Vicious
Movie Christian Bale (Way too expensive)
TV Undecided (Great actor, he was in that one movie)
Julia
Movie Ali Carter
TV Undecided
Ed
Movie Dakota Fanning (stumped)

Spike – While I like the look of Adrian Brody, I don’t think he is the right one though.
I haven’t seen Bradley Cooper in much, but I think he’s an interesting actor for the role.
You know what, I think I’m going to pick Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis. I haven’t seen him in anything but Atlantis, so he would probably need a couple acting classes and some martial arts training, but I think he might be able to pull it off.
Faye – This is a tough one. I’ve seen the suggestion of Eliza Dushku, and while I don’t think that that is the best, I can’t think of someone better yet.
Another interesting pick would definitely be Rosario Dawson. It really wouldn’t surprise me if she could pull it off.
I don’t know if Stacy Keebler, one of the greatest WWE Divas ever, can act, but I’d like to see her in this role, okay, maybe I just want to see her in the outfit. At least she has the legs for it.
Jet – I’ve heard Ron Pearlman, and that’s good for me.
I suppose if this doesn’t happen for another 10 years or so, I think The Rock might be an interesting pick, but he’s just not really there right now.
I’m going back to TV to get my pick. Jim Beaver from Supernatural and Harper’s Island. He’s got a few too many years on his age and a few too many inches on his waist, but I still like him as Jet.
Ed – Hmm, I don’t actually know many kid actors. The only one that comes to mind is Dakota Fanning, sooo… Dakota Fanning?
I just don’t know. CG Maybe?
Vicious – Christian Bale is a great pick in my mind. The only 100% I can think for the cast.
Julia - Ali Carter is a great pick, so I’ll leave it as this.
