Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie - Blu-ray Forum

apparently it is now in development

Anime News Network points out that IF Magazine has learned that producer Erwin Stoff is developing an adaptation of one of America's favorite anime series.... Cowboy Bebop.

“I’m developing COWBOY BEBOP for Fox, but doing it as a live-action film, so I’m working on that at the moment,” Stoff tells iF. “I’m really excited to be working on it, and it’s in the really early stages. We just signed it the other day.”

“I have such an enormous admiration for its creators, that our first and foremost concern is going to be a real degree of faithfulness to the tone of the movie, to the mix of genres, and so on and so forth,” he says. “When I met with them in Japan, one of the first things that I brought up was the experience that we had on A SCANNER DARKLY, and how hard we worked to remain faithful to Philip K. Dick, and that was our big concern here.”

The 26 episode Sunrise tv series and BONES movie followed a hard luck cadre of bounty hunters in the waning days of wild west period of solar system wide colonization: haunted but slick ex-gangster Spike Spiegel, grizzled veteran ex-cop Jet Black, gambler/femme fatale Faye Valentine, incorrigible hacker Ed, and data dog Ein.

Combining artful homages to Western media, inventive direction from Shinichiro Watanabe and eclectic music from Yoko Kanno, Cowboy Bebop won over many fans when it was released on DVD by Bandai Entertainment and aired on Adult Swim.

hopefully this wont take the quick downward spiral Dragonball appears to be.

Seems interesting, and I'll keep my eye on this one. They should just bring the original series to Blu-ray.

Does also seem a bit presumptive to have it be "America's Favorite Anime Series". I've seen a lot of the "My Top Ten Anime" lists, and I have yet to see anyone list Cowboy Bebop as number one. Not that Cowboy Bebop is bad, but it's certainly not the best. Kenshin is at the top of some people's lists (including mine). Cowboy Bebop is in my top five.

But, this should be a plus for anime. I'm keeping my fingers crossed just like you are.
