Via ANN - iF Magazine
THE SKINNY: If anybody is in the mood for some exhilarating, long-anticipated, previously-unannounced breaking news about anime series COWBOY BEBOP, iF Magazine has the exclusive scoop for you.
We caught up with producer-extraordinaire Erwin Stoff at the NBC TCAs where he was promoting his upcoming updated-David-and-Goliath-based show KINGS. When asked about other projects he is currently working on, Stoff, let slip some very juicy news about a very beloved anime franchise.
“I’m developing COWBOY BEBOP for Fox, but doing it as a live-action film, so I’m working on that at the moment,” Stoff tells iF. “I’m really excited to be working on it, and it’s in the really early stages. We just signed it the other day.”
Can’t tell you how excited I am on this movie adaptation, Bebop has some of the most unique characters around and a brilliant score by Yoko Kanno (please get her for this project !) Producer Erwin Stoff mentioned that one of their biggest concern is to keep the adaptation as faithful to the original as possible just as they had done for Philip K Dick’s A Scanner Darkly movie. The movie is still in its early stages, but we’re already prepared for the onslaught of Manga to Movie invasion !
