The Official Live-Action "Cowboy Bebop" News & Discussion Thread

Yeah, that movie worked for what it was trying to do until, again, the last 20-25 minutes of terrible CG and hammy acting.

Thank god he isn't doing Silent Hill 2.
 
With proper hair restyling, I can see this girl pulling it off: http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/evanna-lynch-harry-potter-and-the-order-of-the-phoenix-london-movie-premiere-arrivals-QOnNos.jpg
 
TheVileOne, what would you think if Shinichiro Watanabe himself directed this?

He did say he was working on a secret live-action project, afterall...
 
I always thought that Bebop would be easy to make when they first started doing live action movies from animes, it just fits, course it won't be half as good if Kanno and Yamane aren't involved with the music :P
 
I would say that I don't believe it because I feel Shinichiro Watanabe has closed HIS book on Bebop and said everything he's wanted to about those characters.

Watanabe shouldn't have to deal with the Hollywood system. I don't think he could work with it for this movie.
 
Good, I stated the right point. Fans of the anime shouldn't expect a recapturing, we'll just get new Cowboy Bebop in a foreign form. People who haven't seen it will probably like it more, as they're not used to its real form.
 
That's completely ridiculous. There has never been any TV series in the history of television that has been perfect. Cowboy Bebop has plenty of flaws. Several episodes of the series have been very weak, those being Heavy Metal Queen, Wild Horses, and Boogie Woogie Feng Shui.
 
Well Jacob, sorry to jump into your discussion, but you have good points and I have to say something. You can say whatever you want, too, of course. Anyway, the episodes were varied, but they were still primarily by one director, one writer, and one studio, with most of the rest of the staff the same in each one, and it's one series in one continuity. However varied the episodes are, it's clear that Bebop is the way it is. It doesn't need live-action, as that will only change that.
