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

[courtb]

^I've come to the conclusion that the series and movie are so great that it will always have a certain legacy that even a crap Hollywood movie can't sully.

...therefore, I'm okay with this movie. It could be bad, or good, or mediocre. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

How are they gonna do Spikes "jewish mop"?

[FALCONKING]

Which is why I said "usually."

[Apollyon]

What about Iron Man or Dark Knight? This has nothing to do with those properties. They aren't Cowboy Bebop.




Speed Racer. Dragon Ball. Keanu Reeves.

[Nich!]

Alright, I'm going to say this now and get EPIC flammed for this but...


I think this will do much better then dragonball, and will probably do well.

I think that Dragonball: Evolution will do so poorly for Fox that they'll abort this project well into its infancy.

Of course, most of the company's movies have been doing so badly that we may be looking at the end of the road for Twentieth Century Fox in the upcoming years.

yeh I can see that happening.

Dragonball Z:

Saiyan arc: 35 episodes
Namek arc: 72 episodes
Garlic Junior arc: 10 episodes
Cyborg/Cell arc: About seventy episodes
Boo: 91 episodes

Oh my!

EDIT: Half of the charm of Bebop is the animation and the things animation as a medium allows, as opposed to live action. FOX can throw whatever money they want at the project but I don't think this film can ever have what the animated version has. And truthfully, playing with the fans like this is an even more dangerous game.

So seemingly, animation isn't good enough these days?

Batman and Iron Man are franchises that are born from a medium which allows multiple writers, art styles, and canons. With a show like Bepob you only have that one continuity, excluding any Manga adaptation. It's far easier to accept a live action Batman because there's not one version of the character.
