Mr. Hakujin Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The headline made me cringe, but seeing Yost, Netflix, and Watanabe are all involved has me thinking that this might not suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cowboy-bebop-netflix-live-action-series-cast-1203180399/ Quote Cho will star as Spike Spiegel, described as an impossibly cool bounty hunter with a deadly smile, a wry wit, and style to spare. He travels the solar system with his ex-cop partner, Jet, pursuing the future’s most dangerous bounties with a combination of charm, charisma — and deadly Jeet Kune Do. Cho is known for his roles in the rebooted “Star Trek” film franchise as well as the “Harold and Kumar” films. He will also appear in an upcoming episode of the “Twilight Zone” reboot at CBS All Access. He is repped by UTA, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Morris Yorn. Shakir will play Jet Black, one of the few honest cops in the solar system before an ultimate betrayal robbed him of all that he loved, forcing him into a vagabond life of hunting bounties to put food on the table. Jet is an inveterate jazz enthusiast and Captain of the Bebop. Shakir recently starred in Season 2 of the Marvel-Netflixseries “Luke Cage” as well as the HBO series “The Deuce.” He is repped by Gersh, Robyn Bluestone Management, and Schreck Rose. Pineda will play Faye Valentine, described as a bold, brash and unpredictable bounty hunter. Suffering from amnesia after years of being cryogenically frozen, Faye does whatever it takes to survive. Whether she’s lying, stealing, or just being a thorn in Spike and Jet’s side. Pineda’s previous credits include “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” “The Detour,” and “Inside Amy Schumer.” She is repped by UTA, Kirsten Ames Management, and Schreck Rose. Hassell will play Vicious. Described as a man who thoroughly enjoys a good kill, Vicious is the Syndicate’s most notorious hitman. He’s also Spike Spiegel’s ex-partner and arch-enemy. Hassell will appear in the upcoming Amazon series “The Boys.” His previous credits include “The Bisexual” and “Genius” Season 2. He is repped by Gersh, United Agents in the U.K., and Magnolia Entertainment. Radical Ed will also appear in the series, but the casting process for that character is ongoing. Netflix picked up “Cowboy Bebop” for 10 episodes back in November. The series is described as 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. Shinichiro Watanabe, director of the original anime, will serve as a consultant on the project. Christopher Yost, who previously penned “Thor: The Dark World” and “Thor: Ragnarok”, will write the first episode and executive produce. Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner, and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio will serve as executive producers. Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, and Shin Sasaki of Sunrise Inc.– the studio behind the original series–will also executive produce along with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios, Tetsu Fujimura, and Matthew Weinberg. The series is a co-production between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, with Netflix handling physical production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 If they just wanna re-use this cast for a Lupin the 3rd live-action I'd be good with that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Not clicking that yet, I've only watched the first two episodes of the anime, and I definitely want to finish that before touching this. When's this dropping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 yeah, they absolutely nailed that intro - wondering if this joins the ranks of "HBO watchmen sequel" in things i never wanted but am so glad they happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Glad to see they realized they couldn't improve on perfection when it comes to the intro. No real complaints about the main three, but a lot of the minor charaters they are showing in the intro are boardering on bad cosplay imo. Maybe it's just a consequence of the sylistic filtering applied in the intro (hopefully!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Is it just me or was the acting terrible here? So wooden. Felt like a fan movie with money. Slightly related question. I've been advised that I should be watching the dubbed versions of the anime not subs, that the creator considered the dub the better version. Is this true? I usually avoid dubs at all costs.

alive she cried Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 My cousin said that that was the case, he's a huge anime buff. But I'd go with your recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
