| "Is this thing still on?" | |
From Anime News Network
The IFMagazine.com entertainment website reports that film producer Erwin Stoff (The Matrix, A Scanner Darkly) is developing a live-action adaptation of Sunrise's Cowboy Bebop multi-genre action anime series for Fox. Stoff told the website that the project is "in the really early stages" since the parties "just signed it the other day." Shinichiro Watanabe's original anime follows the motley crew of the spaceship Bebop as it travels throughout the solar system in search of the next job. Stoff promised "a real degree of faithfulness," and added, “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 anime distributor Bandai Entertainment and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block released the original 1998 television series in the United States, and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the subsequent 2001 animated movie. The anime was also adapted into two separate manga series, and Tokyopop released both manga series in North America. A Bandai Entertainment representative was unable to publicly comment on this report.

I hope that Stoff stays true to "Cowboy Bebop", it would be extremely likely that Keanu Reeves would play Spike. Because, you know, the producer just happens to be his agent (and he's been in like 75% of everything the guy's ever produced).
Stoff stayed true to "A Scanner Darkly", which was adapted quite perfectly in my opinion. The only things I'm hoping for are Keanu Reeves to NOT be casted for Spike, because that man has no sense of emotion in his acting at all; and that hopefully we get an indie producer and a somewhat unknown yet talented indie cast. What's most important if whomever is hired to write the screenplay, and that's one of the biggest factors that tells if a movie in general is good or bad.
...but this is FOX we're talking about so my hopes aren't that high for this adaption.

Something is clearly wrong with me; I was wondering why you mentioned Nolan, but then I noticed in my first post that I mentioned Nolan. Geez. *feels like an idiot*
I've constantly got Dark Knight in my mind.... great film by the way.

Indeed. The Dark Knight is easily one of the best films of the 21st century but if Nolan did direct Cowboy Bebop then I'd like to see an even darker version.
Maybe even a film-noir styled Cowboy Bebop.
