>Keanu Reeves was actually attached to be Spike.
>And they wrote a script and I actually met him in an airport a couple of years ago.
>The fans kinda went "Argh, we don't know if that's going to work out," and Spike is a very different kind of character.
>And based on the history of anime going into feature films it hasn't gone very well.
>So fans were really, really hesitant if anyone was going to take it, much less Keanu Reeves.

>I met him in an airport, and first of all, the dude is really tall, and he's really thin and he's got the body type right away, he can do the physicality of Spike.
>First of all that was striking, and then secondly, I went up to him kinda like a little fanboy and I said, "Dude, I'm not completely geeking-out on you but I have to tell you that the fans have been talking about this for a long time and I just wanted to get your perspective on it."
>And so I asked him, I introduced myself, he was really sweet, he goes, "Dude I wanted to meet you. I've heard about you, I've watched all the episodes, I'm actually really into the show."
>He said that he was very invested in it.
>I believe that he would do a really great job.
>He's an awesome guy.
>And he said the script was written, it was fantastic, but it would have cost a half a billion dollars to make, and he was worried that by the time it did get greenlit that he may not be able to do his own stunts.
>And he really wanted to do that for this.
>There's alot of martial arts involved, and it's a specific kind of martial arts.
>If it does get greenlit then it would be fun to see, I'd be very interested to see what he would do.
