Casting Cowboy Bebop

Lets get started.

Spike , real tough to cast- Jake Gyllenhaal(maybe), Josh Harnette(to boyish), Ioan Gruffudd (to old), James Franco (pretty good, but missing something), Jamie Bamber (he almost looks the part if you give him the hair, but not sure if he can pull the role off properly), Christian Bale (too serious. Spike has to be haunted, yet carefree)

Jet - Gerard Butler (would do a pretty good job I think), Michael Hogan (if you want him to sound right, but be older and thin)

Faye - Christina Ricci- total shoe in!

Ed - dunno, could be a no-name

Vicious - coming soon

Julia - Elizabeth Michell perhaps? Marley Shelton(maybe too young looking)

The hosts of "Big Shot" - Jessica Simpson and Don Cheadle

Any ideas?

Ungh, Keanu Reeves will be a disaster.

My suggestions:

Spike: Jim Caviezel (he can actually pull off the role)

Faye: Christina Ricci (she is perfect)

Jet: Jason Statham (until I find someone better)

Ed: Ellen Page has been mentioned, but even though she looks right, she's too old for the part.. perhaps a new no-name child actor

Ein: a corgi.
