[larch]

IFMagazine’s entertainment website reports that film producer Erwin Stoff who’s claim to fame were movies like: The Matrix and A Scanner Darkly is developing a live-action adaptation of Sunrise’s cult classic Cowboy Bebop for Fox movies. Stoff told the website that the project is “in the really early stages” since the parties “just signed it the other day.” Stoff promised “a real degree of faithfulness,” and also had the following to say about his plans for the Cowboy Bebop movie:

- Erwin Stoff - “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. willy, and that was our big concern here.”

Cowboy Bebop follows the crazy antics of two bounty hunters named Spike Spiegel and Jet Black. Throughout the anime they come across many odd faces of bounties and even some friends. By the middle of the series the Bebop, the ship Jet owns is filled not only with Jet and Spike, but Faye, a beautifully dangerous bounty hunter, and Ed, a crazy 9-year-old tomboy master hacker. The Bebop crew go through many bounties and crazy adventures just to scrounge around for some type of income to keep them alive, till there next bounty.

Hmm...

Somehow I doubt a live action would be able to generate the atmosphere of the anime.
