You know, this image works perfectly for almost everything that we post here.
While Cowboy Bebop will remain a production under 3 Arts Entertainment, Long tells me we'll be hearing some news in the near future: "we'll have a lot to announce soon," he said. They've also taken on Elizabeth Grave, an assistant from Groundswell Productions, whose past credits include 2008's Appaloosa and Smart People.
It's not a very lengthy update, I know, but it's important and pretty interesting. What anime titles would you like 1212 to announce adaptations of?
NOT A BLOODY ONE!!
I think that live-action films based on anime CAN be good, just like adaptations of comic books CAN be good (Dark Knight) and adaptations of novels CAN be good (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).
They're mediocre or bad more often than they're good, but every once in a while someone works one out really awesome. I'm confident that eventually one of these will turn out awesome.
Aside from that the only things left would be the usual worries (destroying the plot, crappy acting, bad casting, pathetically low production values, etc.)
@GATS: Mmm, I'd love some Lupin, but he's such a cultural icon in Japan, I'm not sure how well he'd do in the west.
I agree I saw dragonball evolution and it made me sad to see something I had really enjoyed when i was younger had been ruined. the cowboy bebop movie doesn't sound so bad though
