linkinstreet has the inside scoop of the latest anime-to-movie adaptation in development since the announcement of Dragonball movie, and its non other than Faye & the gang for a COWBOY BEBOP: Live-Action Movie! Coming from IGMagazine.com, they reported that film producer Erwin Stoff (The Matrix, A Scanner Darkly) is developing the live-action adaptation 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.” From the creator of CB, Shinichiro Watanabe’s original anime follows the motley crew of the spaceship Bebop as it travels throughout the solar system in search of odd jobs after jobs. Hardcore fans of CB can rejoice because Stoff promised “a real degree of faithfulness,” and included, “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.” Stay tune for more on this epic news after the warp-speed jump!
