This has got to be one of the best news I've heard today!

On June 22, the IFMagazine.com entertainment website reported that film producer Erwin Stoff (The Matrix) is developing a live-action adaptation of Sunrise's Cowboy Bebop multi-genre action anime series for Fox. How awesome is that? Read full post...

Cowboy Bebop is an anime series back in 1999. It's set in 2071, and follows a group of bounty hunters travelling aboard a ship called the Bebop. This is one of my favorite anime series, being hilarious, action-packed and awesome, all at the same time. And on top of that, it has a superb sountrack! (And we expect nothing less from Yoko Kanno.)

When I first heard the news, I practically jumped up and down in joy....

...until I remembered certain disappointing live action adaptations recently.

But IFMagazine says:

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.

Haha! That one cracked me up. Oh, man, they'd BETTER make this a good one lest fans will go amok.

There isn't a lot of info yet (as in casting, production and projected screening dates) so I'm crossing my fingers, hoping for the best, and keeping my eyes pried for more news. :)

And in the mean time, we can all listen to Tank! and the rest of the sountrack.
