Marty Adelstein has inked a deal for the adaptation of Japanese comic series “One Piece” through Tomorrow Studios.

“I’ve been a fan of ‘One Piece’ for 20 years. I am so honored that Shueisha and Oda-san have entrusted me with such a cherished iconic property,” said Adelstein.

dropped

he's been a fan for 20 years though

go back to your containment board

He's been a fan of lying in order to get money

I bet if someone showed him pictures of characters, he wouldn't know anyone outside of Luffy

It's live action nigger, it belongs here.

Wouldn't doubt it, either way this is going to be DB Evolution tier. It'll probably be worse actually since it's even more outlandish and crazy than DB. I don't understand why people keep trying to make live action anime adaptations, they always suck. At least do scaled down ones like Monster, or hell even Ippo. Tbh I'd actually watch a western Welcome to the NHK live action series or movie.

...

I have no idea who's supposed to be who in this pic other than the bitch being Nami.

I have no idea what they expect this to look like, especially for the amount of money they're putting into it. One Piece is so cartoonish and divorced from reality that it can't be reproduced without excessive CG or a very talented visual stylist directing it. It's also never been widely popular in america

kid is luffy, pattinson is Sanji, Kylo is...Usopp?

I hope it is not too violent.
You know. For kids.

This is going to look really stupid. Shounen like One Piece, Naruto, MHA, etc just don't work in a live action format. It's going to look incredibly stupid unless it has an avengers level budget which it obviously won't. The only other option is to scale it down considerably which would make the adaptation pointless to begin with.

Something like Ippo could work though, or any sports anime really. And I assume they're hoping this is what makes it more popular here, but it'll be an DB Evolution level failure.

>this is going to be DB Evolution tier
It'll be worse since it's a TV series, not a movie. It'll have even worse production values.
>I'd actually watch a western Welcome to the NHK live action series or movie
It'd be easier to make, but it'd lose all its substance. NHK is a tone piece where the author just writes about his own experiences with severe anxiety and depression and uses that to comment on the (then) recent trend of hikkikomori in Japan. If it was made by a staff of American people, the message and emotions wouldn't get properly conveyed, and just bc it's a movie about a young person with depression, it'd be bandwagoned by hypochondriac tumblerinas.

The one above look alright, the 2 below look nothing like the characters, they supposed to play.

Usopp can be played by the guy who was in Life of Pi, and Nami could be Ryan newman with dyed hair.

>unless it has an avengers level budget which it obviously won't.
Trust me even if it had the budget, it will NEVER look good.

Live action will never work. CG animated could be decent though. I have a feeling they'll just try to make lower budget Pirates of the Caribbean but with super powers which could be alright on its own but it won't be One Piece

One Piece is one of the top selling comics in the world up there with Batman and Marvel

But it was never particularly big in america. I think Toonami just dropped it again recently after it aired at 4am.

>yfw they remove all the comedy and campiness and try to make some kind of mtv tier high seas fantasy adventure where Luffy is some kind of dashing trickster type character
>also they include romance and coupling

But think of all the shekels from the international market

How do you think they'd do Bon-chan in live action lads?

Honestly I'm curious to see how bad this will be. This has the potential to be one of the worst adaptations of all time and the WORST adaptation of a cartoon/anime to live action show or movie.

How the hell are they going to make santoryuu not look completely retarded? lol

Have they EVER said they were gonna use western actors? When I read the news I assume it would a cheap jap made TV drama.

I DON'T EVEN CARE IF IT'S GOOD I'VE BEEN READING ONE PIECE SINCE I WAS A YOUNG BOY AND I AM SO EXCITED

Some series are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE worldwide, but never had success in America, this could be another case.

Only recently did I actually take a step back a realize how fucking dumb Zoro actually looks.

This isn't real is it

Not according to the recent polls. Also, at least Nami is still relevant.

Could you imagine how easy it was to categorize jews during their extermination.

They could get rid of the powers, and they still had a ton of issues to deal with.

Cant wait for black zoro.

>implying Usopp won't be the black one

DO WE KNOW IF IDRIS HAS EXPRESSED ANY INTEREST IN THIS PROJECT??

I stopped reading somewhere after the time skip, did Robin ever get to do anything relevant? I remember she had exactly one fight as a good guy before the skip, two if you count group fights.

There are couple characters that could be black without problem (Usopp, Blackbeard, Jozu, Aokiji, etc...), but knowing Jewllywood, I'm sure they would make Nami or Robin a "stronk black woman who need no men"

One Piece is already the most SJW comic there is.

There's a tranny hero who is neither male or female, can spontaneously change gender, and says gender/sexuality are just social constructs

Not even kidding

If by relevant you mean fights, no, she didn't. However just because she can read Poneglyphs and apparently has info about revolutionaries and other stuff in the world now, I'm pretty sure she is one of the most relevant in the story.

Implying they wont all be black.

Oda has said that if he could assign IRL nationalities to the characters it'd be:

>Luffy: Brazilian
>Zoro: Japanese
>Nami: Swedish
>Usopp: South African (colored i.e. mixed race)
>Sanji: French
>Chopper: Canadian
>Robin: Russian
>Franky: American
>Brooke: Austrian

He's also a goofy exaggerated stereotype of japanese drag queens. Not really a progressive or political character

Usopp canonically is half-black

It's progressive for Japan where sexuality is more reserved. He's based on Oda's experience seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show which he was amazed by. Oda is openly pro-LGBT.

To expand nationalities, I'm sure Oda already stated nationalities of all Shichibukai, Supernovas, Straw Hats and relevant characters.

>it's progressive for japan!

japan sjw's are probably more conservative than our conservatives

YA YO. Don't give it up Sanji!

She fucked Luffy's dad.

Not really. The "muh japan is redpilled!" is a Sup Forums weeb fantasy. Japan has panty vending machines and fetishes behind every corner. They're absolute degenerates.

Here's the wife of Japan's current "conservative" PM with pic related

So which one will be better?

lmao one piece dwarfs american comics. american comics sell in the thousands, OP is in the millions

I remember him saying Crocodile is Israeli and has a personality based Meyer Lansky

I've never seen a good live action jap movie except seven samurai which came out like 70 years ago

fug this cant be real, Please someone tell me this isn't real

phoenix wright was pretty good

This.
Superman and Batman's main comics are the only comics in front of it and they have been running for almost 80 years.

One Piece sale's are actually declining pretty significantly in recent years, even though WSJ circulation and tankoban sales are pretty much stable.

Even the japs are getting tired with it. Though One Piece's tankoban sales are mostly physical, which is rare in 2017 where digital volumes are big. This indicates that sales are for very young and very old.

One Piece will be the worst, no doubt. It's just going to look stupid as fuck, but then again live action Jap shit is TERRIBLE so I don't know. Honestly bleach would've been a better live action western series even though bleach is trash.

I know it sold an ungodly amount like 300 million copies, but do you know what percentage of it is outside of Japan?

>X-Men #1 : 8 millions sold
>OP #64 : 4 millions sold

While I agree that OP is a big success worldwide, OP is still far away from top selling comic books. Now consider comics sales has been declining since 2000s, and Capeshit movies has actually brought down comic industry even more, now comics are in a record low sales since 60s, on the other hands Shonen is in a record high, and OP is actually more popular than Dragon Ball in Japan and several countries. But neither Goku or Luffy will be more popular than Batman or Spidey.

how the fuck is X-Men still relevant? Im just lurking but fucking Christ its like they reboot constantly.

The 320 millions is TOTAL volumes sold, If we make a total comics ever sold by Batman or X-Men they will reach billions.

I mean X-Men #1 from 1991, However if you look at current top 20 comic sales currently all titles are either Spiderman, Batman, X-Men or spin offs of those. No Supes, no Avengers.

Regarding, sales they really aren't measured the same way in US vs. Japan

In US it goes by number of issues of each series sold each month. A TOP RANKING series like Batman will typically sell about 150,000 per month, adding up to about 1.8-2 million sold a year. Before its recent implosion Marvel had titles that could sell that much too.

Manga is judged by tankoban (volume) sales which contain multiple chapters, usually 9 or so. However individual mangas rarely release tankobans monthly, usually around 2-3 are released a year.

In the actual Weekly Shonen Jump there's no way to determine how well an individual series is doing. There's a system where kids send in post cards with their series ranked from favorite to least but it's pretty unreliable.

Overall, One Piece is selling more than the #1 comic in the US atm (Batman) is in the U.S.. However the gap isn'ta s big as people think.

Since Disney doesn't own the rights they pretty much purged X-Men (their big money maker in the comics) from the comics. This and Marvel's SJW push really has hurt their sales and DC dominates. A Top-tier DC series will sell about 80,000-100,000 per month but a top-tier Marvel series will sell about 40,000-50,000. The only series from Marvel that sell well tend to be the non-SJW ones (like peter parker spider-man) which ironically are the ones they're trying to get rid of

So does he like it or is it just a front?

I would say goku is as popular WW. If anime had decent live action then they would be more popular as manga>>>comics

Goku is more loved among millenials than just about any Superhero not named Batman or Spiderman. I don't know about that anymore cause of the avengers but before that he definitely was more liked than Cap and Iron Man or Thor. If Goku was a Marvel character he'd be a B to B+ tier level in terms of recognition but if he was a DC character he'd be an A or A+ with only Supes and Batman ahead of him.

Kevin Spacey would make a good luffy, discuss

>It's never going to reach the water 7/ennies lobby arc
good. such perfection is not meant for western audiences.

he actually would be a decent Akainu.

We're screwed, db evolution 2.0 incoming

Too old

Akainu is like in his early 40s. Kevin Space is 60.

I think he's more popular in countries that aren't murica, and a lot more in asia and spicland.

Putin should play akainu, and I'm pretty sure Akainu's in his 50s.

>Japan has panty vending machines and fetishes behind every corner.
wrong, that is a urban legend and has never been a thing outside of pornos

>i have no regrets

Live action One Piece is too easy to fuck up. The sheer amount of content, call backs, foreshadowing, etc. and something is bound to get lost in the shuffle to save time.

This isn't even accounting for the amount of CGI this show would need. I don't know how the fuck they're going to handle Chopper.

didnt you forget something?

...

it also has one of the shittiest casts around, even for japs

Oda is a hack. Just read new arc. He is terrible.

How does one go from this....

Enies Lobby is the most overrated arc in One piece without a doubt. It's when the series tried it's hardest to emulate bleach or most other standard shounen, heavily losing it's identity in the process.

...

>losing it's identity
One Piece lost its identity as soon as the pirate aesthetic and feel not only became a backdrop but simple easter eggs here and there as it went on. Ussop stubbornly defending their ship from eventual demise and everything that happened relating to it was the very last hurrah of the pirate adventures I was promised.

Pirate aesthetic? It has a less of a pirate aesthetic than Naruto has a ninja aesthetic? This isn't vagabond or Lone wolf and cub where those series try to accurately emulate the Samurai aesthetic. And Usopp defending their ship was great, Water 7 in general was great which is why Enies Lobby being disappointing was jarring.

>is why Enies Lobby being disappointing was jarring.
Enies Lobby actually had me interested, thought the series was finally going to pick up, but I guess not.

You're right, thinking about the fandom for a live action western NHK adaptation would be disgusting. It'd be worse than the Scott Pilgrim fanbase.

Back in the day you could buy used girl's panties from porn shops. Its not legal now though. There are some novelty vending machines with fake "used" panties you can buy

>I don't know how the fuck they're going to handle Chopper.
