IF Magazine talked with veteran producer Erwin Stoff (via AICN) and discovered that he’s working on making a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie with Fox. Apparently it’s very fresh news: “I’m really excited to be working on it, and it’s in the really early stages. We just signed it the other day.” If you’re not so familiar with Bebop, it’s an incredibly popular Japanese anime TV series that first aired back in 1998 and has become a hit here in the US as well as Japan. I’m not exactly a big fan myself, but considering Hollywood is caught up in the anime trend, I’m definitely excited to see this one come to life as well.

There’s an exclamation point at the end but I’m not sure if I should be excited yet.  Maybe it’s because I’m not sure on anime translations just yet. Lots of annoucements for other products, but I don’t think I’ve seen a translation done yet. (Good or bad)

It’s a good series and is probably one of the better choices they could have made for an adaptation.
