What better way for an anime-girl to go out?

Isn't Spike supposed to be Chinese, in spite of his name? If my brain isn't pulling that out of its ass, the correct answer is Stephen Chow.

Whoever plays Spike needs to have the right hair.

I wonder what the story is going to be. Truncate the series into 2 hours (that'll go well...) or make a new story that fits somewhere into the timeline of the show.

I can see the story pitch now: "Ocean's Eleven... IN! SPAAAAAAAAACE!"

Regardless, we've already got a fine one.

There's talk that the script is based on the anime's first episode "Asteroid Blues," concerning a the "Red Eye" drug, which speeds up the perception of the user.

That's terrible news. The intro eps are always the worst, and this is not an exception. Plus this means that hardly any of the things that makes the series so worthwhile in the end, the things that give it a lasting appeal past adolescence, are going to be absent.
