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.
$#@% no.

It's a widely believed fact that corgis make anything AWESOME.

NO. >:(
Can't say I really care how much you promise to not bend the fans over and not rape them in the fan butt, but jesus h. christ, NO. And Scanner Darkly sucked! *goes rants and raves elsewhere*
I just felt like posting that. (The scenes were based off of a bruce lee movie which is why they're so similar, I think.)
On the subject of the movie... I do'nt think it'll come out too good. (To say the least.)
I'm imagining a film that tries too hard and fills itself with overwhelming cheese in the process.
That's... frikkin' awesome!!! Now I need to find the original scene!!! TO THE WIKI!!!! *WOOSH*
This... will not end well...
This... will not end well...
No, it won't end. At all. We'll constantly live through this blasphemy. It will always haunt us. When we eat. When we sleep. When we're sittin' on the John...
While the idea certainly is intriguing, my thoughts keep wandering to how much the implementation of it will suck so badly.
I just felt like posting that.
So basically you admit to spamming, and breaking a board rule.
Newsflash, stairmaster: a mod is not you
