We caught up with producer-extraordinaire Erwin Stoff at the NBC TCAs where he was promoting his upcoming updated-David-and-Goliath-based show KINGS. When asked about other projects he is currently working on, Stoff, let slip some very juicy news about a very beloved anime franchise.

�I�m developing COWBOY BEBOP for Fox, but doing it as a live-action film, so I�m working on that at the moment,� Stoff tells iF. �I�m really excited to be working on it, and it�s in the really early stages. We just signed it the other day.�

Before any of you BEBOP fanboys/fangirls get your skivvies in a twist about yet another questionable anime-to-human adaptation (see: DRAGONBALL), iF made sure to get an oath of fidelity to the original material from Stoff.

�I have such an enormous admiration for its creators, that our first and foremost concern is going to be a real degree of faithfulness to the tone of the movie, to the mix of genres, and so on and so forth,� he says. �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.�

For those skeptical about the casting possibilities, Stoff has the following to say: �Flak about choices is meaningless until people see the movie," he notes. "When people see the movie, then criticism has a place in it.�

Does Stoff think that American audiences that aren�t familiar with the anime will have trouble getting aboard?

�No, I really don�t think they will,� says Scoff. �I think they haven�t [gotten aboard] with the anime because it�s had limited exposure - it�s just been on Adult Swim, and so on. I think the ability to tell this larger frame - the ability to build a world that�s iconically American in its Western nature - I don�t think so at all.�


Um....I know I'll end up seeing it. But this doesn't seem like a good idea. Why are all these live action anime coming out now? Shouldn't this and DBZ have happened years ago?

I feel somewhat uneasy about this... As long as they keep the music the same, I'll probably be happy either way, but still...

My sentiments exactly.
