Cowboy Bebop Live-Action Film - In Development

Anime News Network reports that Shinichiro Watanabe's anime Cowboy Bebop is being developed at Fox. This news was a long time coming. Considered one of the better contemporary animes to be produced by Sunrise (the same studio that has worked on all the Gundam series), Cowboy Bebop is credited to helping making anime a mainstream commodity. It first aired in the US on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block in the late '90s and helped shape that block into a skewering male demo powerhouse block.

To briefly describe the series, its a sexy, violent, smart series that features a cast of characters you grow to love. A rag tag group of bounty hunters with past lives so dark and intriguing, you can't stop watching. You must know how the series ends. I love all the characters - Spike, Jet, Ein, Ed and Faye. The anime became an instant classic and I recommend that you watch it if you haven't already. Also watch the movie Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door (that's the original title before it was changed to Cowboy Bebop: The Movie).
