Movie Trailers - Movies Blog "There's a draft of the script, but the writer did such a great job [that] in order to make the movie, you would need half a billion dollars," Reeves(who is set to play main character Spike Spiegel in the movie) told MTV News during a press event for "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," his recent film with Robin Wright Penn. Last we heard from writer Peter Craig, he had assured fans of the anime that his version was "extremely faithful". Sounds like he wasn't exaggerating. Of course that could all change now if the studio id demanding changes... "So the studio went, 'This movie is fantastic and it would cost half a billion dollars," laughed Reeves, "so he's doing a rewrite." I have to admit, I have still not seen this anime despite being told by countless people how awesome it is..I'll get to it! Anyway, I don't have much of a clue about characters and what not but.. "Everyone is in there," said Reeves. "The only challenge was to make a satisfying western narrative out of the kind of storytelling that happens," he added. "There's a great draft, so we're just trying to pull it back a little bit now."
