Cowboy Bebop Live Action Series coming to Netflix
- Thread starter BrokenFiction
- Start date
Nah, at best it was one of those "so bad it's good" kind of movies. Wished I watched with my friends while drunk or something lol, the movie had a lot of unintentional humor
That description you wrote sounds like an average episode of Altered Carbon lol. So maybe Netflix is the right partner after all!
That's...well, at least they didn't make all of the bad adaptations.
Will see what comes of it. Everything pretty much needs to be a home run here, if one aspect is off(cast, music, atmosphere) I'll be pretty disappointed.
You mean to tell me you didn't like the remake of Heathers mashed with the Death Nlte IP? LOL
I will watch if it's bad.
Like, terrible CGI, hilariously bad dialogue, making Faye a romantic interest, etc.
Make the trainwreck a beautiful one.

forced humour, cheesy lines, pretty much cookie cutter marvel unfunny one-liner galore..i'm sorry but it wasn't a space opera. Guardians of the Galaxy 1 was.
You never saw the Gintama Live Action, eh?
Anime and video game live action adaptations are never good. Guess I don't have to watch it, and I most likely won't.
On topic though, I am not sure. Whether or not it will be good or bad isn't even my first concern:
Unless they change the ending, would they even need to adapt the main story? Cowboy Bebop had standalone episodes for the most part, so would it even be necessary to adapt the anime? Might be a better decision to just do more of the crews misadventure and just have fun. Maybe have some plot breadcrumbs here and there, but don't just follow the old anime to a T.
That show was pretty light on the action, though I'm not expecting every episode of this to have action either
Will probably be pretty serialized too
No one who can't pass the paper bag test will get casted.
It was always fucked up he is named "Jet Black" and was Hollywood light skinned
At least in the first episode, there's a lot of action. I wouldn't worry about that part. Do expect things to be drawn out a bit more though. These stories are being stretched far past twenty minutes.
I know you're joking but the good news is that the director of Death Note is too busy with Godzilla right now. :D
There isn't really an overarching theme, that's kind of the point. Every character has their own "genre" as it were. Like Spike's action noir or Jet's gritty cop drama. Or one-off episodes like Pierrot le Fou which is almost gothic horror. Like how the musical stylings and genres constantly change depending on the episode so do the writing and visual stylings of the episodes themselves. I'm not very good at describing genre (it's something that's actually really difficult to nail down), but just calling Cowboy Bebop "space western" is a pretty huge disservice since it underplays just how much Cowboy Bebop mixes up its genres and style to deliver something wholly unique to itself. I had a friend who expected the show to be a "space western" and he was surprised that the only western episodes were basically only the first episode and kind of Mushroom Samba and that's basically it.
I have absolutely no faith that this will be good after they fucked up Death Note, but I am curious how they pull this off.
Can they just remaster it?
Also, I think the direction of the art (or aesthetic) direction is probably important as well.
And that teaser was very generic looking, making it look like it was teasing a Star Trek show of sort (didn't even use the same font for the tagline). Is the art department going to be laissez-faire in the creation process?
Though i always see these under "popular now" so people are at least curious. Netflix doesn't care about critical reception as long people still want to see it (even if they want just to see how bad it is). Best example are the Adam Sandler exclusives and smith/ork movie.
As shit as that movie was the director made some pretty fun choices with the final destination deaths and Dafoes ryuk
Ok but...are they going to make an episode as ground breaking as that?
I like both Fayes suggested so far. Far better than the casts I googled.
Heathers is a 80's movie that seemed to heavily influence Adam Wingard's Death Note. Hence the shift in focus from the relationship between Light and L to Light and Mia.
I don't think I've audibly laughed harder in my life at a movie than when that ladder flew threw that guys face.
I see that you disagree and that's okay. I don't think CB hides that it's a space western and I don't think it's a disservice to say that it generally does adhere to that in a broader sense while exploring other avenues.
All you people in here mentioning Death Note do realize that Netflix was just the exhibitor, right? Stuff they put out isn't all magically made by the same people. Completely different producers, writers, director, and even executives considering this is a series vs a feature.
...the people behind the screenplay for Beverly Hills Cop 4?
