Keanu Reeves discusses some delays in the film's production...

 
I know a lot of people are really looking forward to seeing the live-action 'Cowboy Bebop' movie which is set to star Keanu Reeves. In a recent interview with MTV, however, Reeves cited that the film has been delayed due to a re-write of the script.

 
"There's a draft of the script, but the writer did such a good job that in order to make the movie you would need half a million dollars...the studio kind of just went 'this movie is fantasic; but it needs half a billion dollars!" So he's doing a rewrite."

 
When asked what he he would like to see additionally in the film, Reeves cited that the script already has everything. There is no question that the reason why it would probably cost so much to develop is because the live-action film is set in space. I can also see some of the hesitation on the part of the movie studios considering it has been a very long time since Reeves headlined a film that was successful at the box office. How do you think this one will fare? I am really looking forward to seeing the live action film, and I feel like it would be worth the wait. What do you guys think?
