One Piece Live-Adaptation Drama Announced
-
awesome, thanks a lot kitsune
-
I see that some have written for shows that I like, but what does that mean when adapting an anime?
-
Yikes that is not the best writer's room, but it's Netflix so I never expected anything above a C+ anyway.
-
So what is the next step now? Casting or Something else??

Diego Gutierrez - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0305684/#writer (He wrote "Normal Again", one of the most polarizing Buffy episodes of all time)
Matt Owens - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8473934/ Basically well-known for his respectable work on Agents of SHIELD and Luke Cage. He also worked on the Defenders, though.Alison Weintraub - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1426365/ Pretty limited writing credits to her name, can't really say much.
Ian Stokes - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3470394/ - Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Teen Wolf - I dunno about this guy
Lindsey Gelfland - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1598169/ I'm guessing from her credits she and Alison might be a writing duo. I'd have to compare their credits in more detail
Lauren Jacqmin - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6855037/ - Not much big stuff people outside my area would know, but I'm noticing a huge trend. Most of these guys have written for shows shot on location in New Mexico. Making me wonder if they might try shooting the show here.
Jason Cho - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1255602/ Chicago Med.
Damani Johnson - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1225948/ Salvation and Major Crimes
Tom Hyndman - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4914154/ Harley Quinn
Allen Wier - I can't seem to find him on IMDb. This may be his first credit
Alex Regnery - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5207499/ - Orange is the New Black
Caty Zick - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5440493/ - Only wrote on Royal Pains but was an assistant on Fargo
Overall, this isn't the most exciting writer's room. I had to look up every one of them with the exception of Matt Owens. I'm cautiously optimistic because a lot of these are decent to good shows, but we'll see where this goes.
God, I hope they film in New Mexico. I will die to get on that set.
Lets not mince words here.
MAJOR SPOILERS.
! He wrote the episode where Buffy wakes up in a insane asylum and when she goes back to reality she seemingly goes into a coma in the asylum. Implying all the adventures in the main series were a delusion.
I loved that episode but It would piss me off if they tried that with One Piece.
-
Normal Again was great.

I loved that episode but It would piss me off if they tried that with One Piece.
If it was handled well I would be glad that they did something unique.

But if they did that again then it wouldnt be unique. Look, I said I liked the episode and that I have faith in this guy. Just dont do that again.
-
Tomorrow Studios is also hoping to head to South Africa by the end of the year to film One Piece, a live-action adaptation of the best-selling manga title.
-
The craziest part of the article that I see no one talking about is the "9 years of episodes" comment.
This can be taken many ways, but I think this is their long term goal to do 9 seasons worth of episodes. 10 episodes a season possibly
-
Can they get though East Blue in 10 episodes?
-
If they want to do 9 seasons, they'd have to adapt a minimum of one saga per season.
Season 1 - East Blue
Season 2 - Alabasta
Season 3 - Skypiea
Season 4 - Water 7
Season 5 - Summit War
Season 6 - Fishman Island
Season 7 - Dressrosa
Season 8 - Yonko
Season 9 - Finale -
Based on the dope discussion in Greg's thread some time back, most think that EB Saga can be done w/ 10 episodes. I don't tho. I think the most that could be done is around where Baratie ends. If a character like Chouchou matters, I doubt they skip a lot of examples of Luffy helping others guard their treasure. Koby and Chouchou were 2 great examples of that. I 'm also keeping in mind that they might add newer material in place of original ideas.
Ending it where Sanji joins, Zoro renews his vow to Luffy, Nami left and Krieg is defeated would be a high enough mark to leave on. Then there's touching Arlong Park and Loguetown. You'd have to skip and condense a lot (which is what adaptations do anyway) before AP arc to make the AP and Loguetown arcs work.
Yonko Saga is Zou - present right? How is that 1 season? That would be hard as hell to adapt in general, imagine trying to make just 1 season off it.
Also, I don't think there's only 1 saga left after this. If they end it on their own terms, possibly, but if it's adapting the whole story, nah.

It's only guesswork. I'm not taking the 9 season comment as something set in stone. The show would have to be an unprecedented success to make it to 10 seasons on a high budget.
We should go in with the assumption that some arcs and sagas will be abridged, condensed or even skipped altogether. -
I really hope FI won't get a full season with Hody crap. I rather have 1 season of arlong park instead. FI and punk Hazard should not even get 1 season together. Worst arcs ever.

No it really wouldn't be enough to end the season at such a point. The first season absolutely needs both the AP and the Loguetown arc. Arlong Park is the emotional highpoint of the East Blue saga and the arc that got most readers hooked, while Loguetown provides the perfect ending to make the first season come full circle. A first season that only covers the very early arcs would not only be quite lackluster, but it would also mean that at this pace, it would take about 20 seasons/years to catch up to the current story. That's just unfeasable.
We all want a faithful adaptation that doesn't skip too much, but the show will definitely have to condense a lot, leave out certain characters (or merge several characters into one), skip certain story beats.
The episodes are going to be 50-60 minutes long, right? While I would have preferred 12-episode seasons, I think you can fit a lot of story into 10 episodes. I'm actually currently thinking a lot about how to structure the show. In general, I think I'd structure the seasons like this:
Season 1: East Blue
As I said before, this has to cover all of East Blue. This season is actually pretty tough to figure out, because instead of one big plot, it has a lot of small ones, meaning that the scenery and the secondary characters will change every few episodes. On the other hand though, most of the actual locations visited aren't that impressive or out there in comparison to later arcs, so it won't be that expensive to built the sets. Gaimons part of the story will certainly be skipped, and rightfully so - not that I dislike it, but it's easily one of the weirdest, most random parts of the story and doesn't add anything to the overall story. Maybe I would also skip Alvida's part of the story entirely and just have Coby suffering under Morgan instead. It really wouldn't change that much about his character - you can still have him be inspired by Luffy's bravery to finally stand up for himself against all odds of survival.
Most of the early story arcs really aren't that complex. It's more important to get the introduction to the characters right at this point. Some of the minor characters are downright forgettable and can be easily left out. Like, we don't really need the Nyaban brothers in the story. Episode Structure would be something like this:
! Episode 1: Romance Dawn arc
Episode 2: Orange Town arc.
Episode 3&4: Syrup Village arc
Episode 5&6: Baratie arc
Episode 7-9: Arlong Park arc
Episode 10: Loguetown arc.
! Take episode 5, for example: The first 20 minutes or so would be spend on establishing the restaurant, the characters of Sanji and Zeff and Luffy's predicament of having to work in the Restaurant. And then Gin and Krieg are introduced one after another and by the end of the episode, you can have a cliffhanger of Krieg's pirate crew attacking the Baratie, Nami disappearing with the Going Merry and Zoro being defeated by Mihawk. Then what's left for the arc in episode 6? Sanjis flashback, the fight against Don Krieg and Sanji leaving the Baratie to join Luffys crew. You can easily fit all that into under 40 minutes. You don't need, like, 60 minutes to depict Luffys fight against Krieg - action and fight scenes in general can be much quicker than in the anime/manga.My thoughts on the other seasons aren't that detailed yet:
Season 2: Alabasta
I think that would work pretty well. The first half of the season can deal with the minor arcs of the saga, and the second half can take place in the Alabasta kingdom. The goodbye scene between the Strawhats and Vivi again provides a very nice ending to the season, while Robin suddenly joining the crew would be a nice cliffhanger.
Season 3: Skypiea, Water 7
Yeah, I'm a little torn about this one. I don't want them to skip the Skypiea, even though it's the one major saga of the story that could be skipped. But it would mean leaving out an awesome adventure, plus I think it's very important to have enough time for both the crew and the audience to bond with Robin. If you go straight from Alabasta to Water 7, the emotional core of that arc really doesn't work anymore. You have to believe that a. Robin is willing to sacrifice herself to save the crew, even if that means dooming the world and b. that the crew would invade Enies Lobby to save her. And the audience has to be invested in Robins character too. So yeah, we need the Skypiea arc.
But I don't think it should be a whole season. That just seems a bit too much time spent on a story arc that simply doesn't have much effect on the rest of the story. But I think you could easily cut some corners here. For example by leaving out a lot of the minor fights. We don't really need Zoro vs. Braham, for example. I'm not even sure we need Satori, honestly. That part of the story could at the very least be cut down a lot. I have to give this arc a closer look at what else to leave out, but I think all in all, it could be told in about 5 episodes whole. If you add about one episode for the Jaya arc*, that leaves four episodes to have the fight against Aokiji (Davy Back Fight would be left out entirely) and tell most of the Water 7 arc. Ending the season with Usopp and Robin having left the crew and Luffy and Zorro being defeated by the CP9, who then leave the island on the Sea Train for Enies Lobby would be an awesome and highly emotional cliffhanger.
*Also, I think all the character reveals of the Jaya arc would make for an awesome season premiere. Let's start off the season by introducing more of the Shichibukai, Whitebeard and Blackbeard and by showing Shanks and Mihawk again.
Season 4: Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark and Sabaody.
Yeah, seasons 3 and 4 are giving me the most headache. This season would have to deal with a lot. Invading Enies Lobby, defeating the CP9, Merrys funeral, Franky joining the crew, the (re)-introduction of Garp and Coby, the fight between Ace and Blackbeard, the whole Thriller Bark saga, plus the Sabaody arc, including the introductions of the Supernova, Rayleigh and Kizaru? I put the Sabaody arc in this season because the crew being split up at the end would be such an amazing season cliffhanger, but I dunno. If you'd make it part of Season 5, it would allow Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark more breathing room. In that case, you would have Enies Lobby (and post-Enies Lobby) as the first half of the season and Thriller Bark as the second half, which I think would mostly work.
Season 5: Marineford Saga
This one is pretty easy. Aside from the question if the Sabaody arc should be the season finale of Season 4 or the premiere of Season 5, the rest is pretty clear: around 3-4 episodes for Amazon Lilly and Impel Down, and then the second half of the season can be the epic war at Marineford. The end of the season would then lead into the timeskip.
Season 6: Fishman Island and Punk Hazard
The crew would reunite in the season premier and then leave for Fishman Island. One half of the season for Fishman Island and the second half for Punk Hazard seems about right.
Season 7: Dressrosa
Not much to say about this one. Dressrosa is a massive, massive arc, and I don't think one could leave too much of the story out. At this point, Doflamingo will be an enemy that has been set up to be defeated since Season 3, so I think it does deserve so much focus to take up basically a whole season. I'm unsure about the Zou arc. It does seem better suited as the season premier for Season 8.
Season 8: Zou, Whole Cake Island and Reverie
I don't think I have to say much about this one. I think realistically, you could also put the beginning of Wano into this season, but that wouldn't make much sense story wise.
Season 9: Wano
So yeah, enough content for 9 seasons actually seems about right. Who knows if we ever get to this point, though.
-
I doubt many people would cry if Alvida, The Nyanban Brothers, and Pearl were cut from Season 1.
-
Definitely. Later villain henchmen are great for the most part and I would be sad to see them cut from the story, but the early ones, especially the ones you mentioned are mostly random and weird.
As for Alvida, leaving her out entirely really seems like the best way to go. There is a lot of content to put on the first episode: introducing the concepts of the One Piece World (Pirate King, One Piece, Grand Line, Devil Fruits etc
), showing us Luffys backstory and possibly Zoros too, introducing important characters like Luffy, Zoro, Shanks and Coby and dealing with all of the Captain Morgan plot. Alvidas little story arc seems like a random side quest with no bearing on the rest of the plot. I actually think having Cobys character more directly connected to Morgan storyline makes a lot of sense for his character arc.Plus let's face it, Alvidas character is actually pretty pointless so far. I actually don't really understand why Oda bothered to bring her character back at all, she has had no purpose in the story so far. I'm also not sure if the joke of her character ( a fat woman who thinks she is beautiful) would go over well with today's overly politically correct audiences.

Characters that serve no larger purpose in the story or in their own story arcs are rife for being cut. Alvida teamed up with Buggy to get revenge on Luffy, but that's gone nowhere for twenty years. Same with Coby wanting to arrest her. He hasn't mentioned Alvida since.

I'm not an expert at scripts for television,but this seems not legitimate. It reads very amateurish.
-
Just read all 58 pages of the One Piece Live Action Leak. Don't know if it'ss just a early draft or fake.
! According to this 1st draft going around, Alvida mentions Zoro before Koby does. If that stays or if that draft is even real, Zoro being brought up in that manner makes him more intimidating before his appearance. She thought Luffy was Zoro due to most of her minions being beat up. Luffy says he's not Zoro and she is confused about how some no name/skinny kid was able to do it.
! 1st moment has Kong and Sengoku at the execution as spoken on some time ago. Emphasis on Smoker and Shanks.
! 2nd moment is young Luffy and the Red Hair Pirates issue with Higuma
! 3rd is Alvida/Koby
! They preview Helmeppo and Zoro
! 4th - They show Luffy and Koby going to Shells Town. They cut back to Shanks leaving Luffy with the hat. Interesting that Shanks ask Luffy to come with and he says no. It returns to Koby and Luffy in the boat. Lord of the Coast is defeated by Luffy here and differs from his defeat when Luffy left to become a pirate.
! It ends with Zoro swearing he won't dieOverall, I don't think these little changes break the story. It does lessen impact for me at points. Remember that this could be fake and if not fake, the most it can be is an early draft
-
do they show luffy stabbing himself?
-
If that's legit, I do like the changes involved with bringing Zoro into the story sooner and threading East Blue villains in earlier. I think it's more likely we'll get a singular arc threading multiple arc villains through it than a sequential affair (though that structure can work).
I cant really confirm the veracity of that script though. It's definitely not a shooting script so if it is legit, it's a very early draft.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
One ding against that script, though? That opening scene has way too much information and is way too long. It's considered bad form to open on a scene longer than five pages, and that's being extremely generous. The way the scene is presented in this draft, it's very exposition heavy and doesn't really have a hook to it. It's also framed by a younger version of a character we aren't introduced to in the rest of the pilot. Opening on Li'l Smoky almost necessitates Smoker appearing as an adult in the pilot (I didn't read it too thoroughly, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't reappear).
-
If that is the script, then I guess Smoker and Kong (way more earlier) will be more frequent. Smoker didn't come in til Loguetown. Smoker, Shanks, and Koby are basically the pillars. How will they handle Koby tho? Will his journey from the covers be more prevalent? Like I said, the most this could be is a 1st draft, if real
-
There's no way they would keep Smoker's original name the same. If the live-action changes the context of the name to a nickname instead of a given name, I could see that working.
Playing that straight wouldn't work for a more global appeal. -
Wait, what's wrong with Smoker's name? Is this because the West hasn't accepted OP like AOT, MHA and OP Man?

! I think he is mentioned first by Alvida both in the manga and in the anime, too, isn't he? Coby only brings him up because Luffy asks about him after hearing his name from Alvida.
As for Smokers name, I think it's because it's a tad too on the nose. That kind of joke works for a cartoon, but for a live-action series, it seems a bit silly. Turning it into a nickname would work though.
I'm not sure how I feel about the script. I also like Zoro appearing a bit earlier, but I feel like the first scene should be a lot more mysterious and a lot less exposition heavy. Roger should be a very mysterious figure for now, it should make the audience wonder what the deal with him is from the get go and intrigue them.
Also, not even really starting the Shells Town arc yet seems like a mistake. They cover less story in 60 minutes than the original anime did in 40!:blink:
-

Yep, I remembered incorrectly. Then there's only a slight difference because in the leak,
! she is sure it's Zoro and in the manga she doesn't believe it to be him.

I've never had that issue, so I didn't think of that. It's gonna be a thing where they have to decide on how to bring in new fans and not disrespect those who have been fans for over a decade.

Yes, they made

! larger than life figure that is felt early and still late into the story.Also, not even really starting the Shells Town arc yet seems like a mistake. They cover less story in 60 minutes than the original anime did in 40!:blink:
I feel like they covered more than what I thought was possible, if this was real of course. Koby/Alvida, execution (spent more than usual on this), and even got the the 1st chapter all covered. This makes this less believable as real.
Some of the Netflix shows that I watch usually use 50-1 hour+ long episodes. I think an episode under 45 minutes in this season would only work for arcs like Loguetown or Syrup Village. The shorter arcs being merged into the bigger arcs is ideal in that instance.
-
I would prefer the showrunner to be Matt Owens instead of Steven Maeda. Owens has a better resume in my opinion and this leaked script is written by him and it seems good. By the way i really hope Oda will make a lot of "script doctoring" with these scripts.

I think Maeda has better insight of the source materia (manga), and thus its better for me him to be in control of the scripts, just my opinion.

Interesting that they made

Edit: why is

https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/exclusive-marty-adelstein-updates-cowboy-bebop-one-piece-series
One Piece, adapted from the pirate adventure manga series-turned-multimedia-empire created by Eiichiro Oda, is not quite as far along as Bebop in its development yet. Netflix announced the upcoming live-action adaptation, along with news that Oda will serve as executive producer, in January of 2020, and Adelstein and company originally intended to launch production this summer. Though the timeline might shift a bit, he's still hoping One Piece will ramp up later this year. "We were supposed to start filming in August in Cape Town, South Africa. We anticipate the date being able to film [now is] September, at the latest," Adelstein said. "We have basically all 10 scripts written. We will start casting when we go back. My suspicion is June 1, but we will start doing our casting. We have a lot of names that we’re talking about, and we should be in production in September. We have been working very closely with Sensei Oda. So, we’re going to get started, and this one is very big. I mean, Snowpiercer was a big production; this is even bigger."
-
Hope we won't have to wait long for casting
-
I read the leaked script and for the most part I like the direction they are going with this.
! Pros
- Kong and Sengoku at Roger's execution
- Dragon at the execution bumping into kid smoker in the first episode. Kind of cool when you know they will be running into each other..probably by the end of season one.
- Zoro getting introduced earlier.
- Getting to see Zoro fight Mr. 7
- Showing Zoro's ambition and how he won't agree to join BW unless he is made the boss. Then showing that Luffy is thinking of asking Zoro the Pirate Hunter to join him if he is good. builds up their meeting nicely for episode 2.
- Zoro delivering Mr. 7 in a body bag at a marine base.
- Foreshadowing that one of Zoro's swords has significance to him.
- Lord of the Coast getting punched in front of Coby feels like it would be more impactful.
- Getting some hints at Sun Pirates update via news paper the mayor was reading.
- Connecting Don to Alvida since she has to deliver some kind of treasure to him as tribute.
- Season will start with the execution of the pirate king and might end with Luffy almost getting executed but miraculously surviving.
- Description of the fight scenes seems promising.
- I like how Luffy's flashback is handled. It starts with a direct transition from Roger's execution with Shanks telling Luffy about the former Pirate King.
- Name dropping Kuro, Don, Arlong already in the first episode.
! Cons
- Shanks straight up telling Luffy to be good might not be the best in my opinion. It takes the grey morality out of Luffy being a pirate that happens to be good.
- Zoro lighting two candles could be a foreshadowing for something…but if it is just for the one liner zoro gives Mr. 7 than it feels a little lame.
- The intro goes a bit too deep with sengoku and kong's back and forth dialog. I feel that if this intro is tweaked a bit and told from Shanks perspective it would be better. Shanks could even narrate the intro. It would make the transition smoother also from roger(former pirate king) to shanks(current great pirate/former pirate king apprentice). They can revisit the Kong and Sengoku's dialog when they see it from a marine's perspective..like Smoker.
They haven't started casting yet. Can't wait for the official casting to be announced. In the meantime I have made a fan casting list for the first season. Interested to see what you guys think on some of my suggestions.https://www.mycast.io/stories/one-piece-live-action-tv-series-east-blue
-
Jon Hamm should play Roger, Nikolaj Coster Waldau should play Shanks, Luke Evans should play Mihawk.
-
You should keep your expectations low on casting. Look at stuff like Snowpiercer or Teen Wolf. That'll likely be where most of the cast will come from. They might be able to draw big names for smaller roles, and maybe some midcarders for parts of the main crew, but don't expect like any blockbuster actors.

There are some Blockbuster Actors in other series, like Cavill in witcher, or momoa having some apple series or all the marvel actors from the movies gettin Disney shows. But I doubt shows like that will last 9 seasons, that at least is the plan of op team.
Maeda teased a few mounths ago Egerton, Ehrenreich, Elgort. But is that either some hint or unrelated. Like picking one of these for the role of luffy. -

(p.36)This reference to the Brazilian dancing style martial arts has my hopes up that the strawhats will have the "official" nationalities as assigned to them by Oda in that SBS. It's definitely wise to not get our hopes up, especially given the disastrous track record of live adaptions, but I'm going to be a fool here and get hyped.H Y P E

?
What gives you that impression?
In his position, Steve guides the scripting process but is not the Head Writer which falls to Matt.
Due to his comments on the series up to this point, I strongly believe Oda has a system in place for quality-checking the material. However, Hollywood is Hollywood and end products are usually productions where everyone involved is 'content' with it. Whether that level of contentment resonates with fans new and old will remain to be seen.

I rather fresh faces. Well trained, but haven't been in 1000 shows and movies i've already seen. This is OP, not a MCU film

Legion had a budget of $4m per episode. This seems to be $10m per episode, so that's more than double! I think it won't be unreasonable to expect GoT level special effects here.

The problem is that OP is several tiers more fantastical than GoT so I'm not sure if even that much money will be enough. The main character's abilities are already super hard to pull off, and they're gonna have to keep showing them constantly.

What? That brickhouse? She's hardly Hit Girl any more.

I was thinking more from a acting prospective she would nail Nami's personality down, who would you suggest playing Nami or any of the strawhats

CW is the cheapest in the world. Elongated Man gets 3-5 episodes a season of decent effects. Luffy doesn't do that much and especially that early in the story, so it might be ok. Before Arlong Park arc, Buggy, Richie and Krieg might require the most effects. If any of them are used, of course

Well, if they skip Buggy, I'm out.
