The Bebop Crew
The live action anime wave continues as Fox announced a live version of Cowboy Bebop is in the works. This is the second live action adaption of a popular anime series, as Fox is currently working on a Dragonball movie set for a March 2009 release. Erwin Stoff, producer of The Matrix will be working on the film.
Let’s see…Speed Racer, Dragonball, Astro Boy, Burst Angel, and now Cowboy Bebop are now real life counterparts. What’s next? I could be missing a few others, but those that are missing could eventually make the news.

Oh goodness gracious. Let us hope they don’t completely screw it up, yeah?
I’ve also heard rumors (but could not pin it down) that a live action Witch Hunter Robin is in the works somewhere. And going the other way, Witchblade has been turned from comic to TV show to anime.
@ Gargantua: A Witch Hunter Robin movie could work out since it’s not “complicated” like Dragonball is… If this trend keeps up, who knows…they could make a Fullmetal Alchemist live action movie. Now that would be really expensive to make–unless they make an adaption that takes place after Conquer of Shambala (no metal Al)… but yeah, I hope a Cowboy Bebop movie turns out well, lol.
NINJA SCROLL MOVIE ADAPTATION.
Ninja Scroll will be another Hollywood movie adaptation of the Madhouse Ninja Scroll series,Threshold Entertainment bought the rights to Ninja Scroll back in 2002,Threshold still has the Ninja Scroll project in development and Sean Catherine Derek and Josh Wexler will write the script with Yoshiaki Kawajiri,Alison Savitch and George Johnsen will work on visual effects
