« We’ve been working with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios on the massive project that is the Hollywood live action series adaptation of One Piece ! How many years has it been since it was announced, right? I know, I know! But rest assured we’ve been making steady progress all along. It’s not easy when you’re working with people from different cultures! But it’s precisely that process that can yield something special! »
« We decided on this cast after numerous discussions involving people around the world! These are the people who will be our Straw Hat Pirates! It’ll take a bit more time to get this show done, but we’ll continue to do our best to deliver a show that we’re confident will be enjoyed by everyone around the world! »
Steven Maeda (showrunner) :
« We are so excited to set sail with this amazing and talented cast. Finding the right people to pull off the looks, emotions, and actions of the iconic Straw Hats was a long and challenging (and fun!) process. Much like the search for the One Piece itself. But we have finally found the perfect fits! They have already begun working very hard to bring these characters to life. You will come to know and love them just as much as their manga counterparts. All of us can’t wait to show you what we’ve come up with! Onward to adventure! »
Ha non mais artistiquement c’est d’avance une merde c’est évident compte tenu de la nature de l’oeuvre de base et la nature de la production actuel. Maintenant à savoir si cela va être un four en terme d’audience, je m’y risquerais moins.
C’est pas One coin, mais One Piece (comme les maillots de bain ~___^).
Bon, déjà, Oda est apparemment impliqué dans le projet, ce qui pourrait être rassurant… Mais quand il dit « It’s not easy when you’re working with people from different cultures! », ça l’est un peu moins !
Après, des adaptations en séries live, il y en a déjà eu quelques-unes (Detective Conan, DeathNote, Negima!, GTO, Angel Heart, Sailor Moon, Nodame Cantabile, etc.), sans parler des nombreuses adaptations en films live (Assassination Classroom, Kenshin, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gegege no Kitarô, DeathNote, Gintama, Detective Conan, Gantz, Prince du tennis, Initial D, L’attaque des titans, Thermae Romae, Cutie Honey, Nana, etc.).
Si toutes ces adaptations ne sont pas réussies, elles ne sont pas non plus toutes ratées.
Bon, c’est certain qu’une adaptation de One Piece nécessite pas mal d’effets spéciaux, cela dit.
