Netflix announced on Tuesday that it is producing a 10-episode live-action series adaptation of the 1998 television anime Cowboy Bebop. Entertainment news magazine Variety noted that the series has been in the works since last year. Netflix did not announce a release date for the series. Netflix describes the series:
Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system's most dangerous criminals. They'll even save the world…for the right price.
The series is a co-production between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, with Netflixhandling physical production. Tomorrow Studios is a partnership between producer Marty Adelstein (Prison Break, Teen Wolf) and ITV Studios. Shinichiro Watanabe, the original anime's director, will serve as consultant for the project. Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner, and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio are credited as showrunners and executive producers.
Tomorrow Studios' Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements; Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, and Shin Sasaki of Sunrise (the studio that animated the original series); and Tetsu Fujimura and Matthew Weinberg are also credited as executive producers.
Chris Yost (Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok) will write the first episode, and is also credited as executive producer.
The online newspaper Observer posted an update on Netflix's live-action adaptation of Sunrise's Cowboy Bebop anime on Friday. Observer spoke with writer and executive producer Jeff Pinkner before he took a "notes call" on a season 2 script. The production on the first season is on hold in New Zealand after lead actor John Cho's on-set knee injury in October, followed by a shutdown due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Pinkner said that the staff and cast are excited to get back in production as soon as they can. He added that the project's one-hour episode length allows them to "really tell stories set in that world in a way that hopefully will not only delight the fans of anime but expose a whole bunch of new people to the world of Cowboy Bebop, the awesome work of Yoko Kanno."
The production had not previously announced that a second season is possibly planned, nor that Yoko Kanno, the musical composer of the original Sunrise anime series and film, is involved in the live-action series. While Japan is under a state of emergency this month, Kanno gathered her Cowboy Bebop musicians online to collaborate on music while staying at home.
Se non sbaglio avevano iniziato a girarla ma l'attore che interpreta Spike si è fatto male sul set e così hanno deciso di rimandare le riprese.Ma a che punto sono con la prima si sa? che ero rimasto che nemmeno erano partiti.
Esatto, e da li in poi era slittato tutto da quel che so. Per quello chiedevo se avevano almeno iniziato qualcosa dato che parlano già di s2.Se non sbaglio avevano iniziato a girarla ma l'attore che interpreta Spike si è fatto male sul set e così hanno deciso di rimandare le riprese.
