Do you think that the U.S. could do a live action One Piece movie and have it not suck as hard as the dragonball movie?
If so, which arcs would you like to see?
Personally, I think that the best arcs to portray would be the Romance Dawn arc up to the end of the Captain Morgan arc, going through Luffy's back-story and briefly touching on Alvida.

Well, it would be really simple to make and do correctly; you could probably use 90% of the props from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, put the money that you should have spent on props into hiring decent actors, and come out with a decent looking movie. Given the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, I'm sure it wouldn't be taken too badly by the general public.
As long as it doesn't star "Lucas, a normal high-schooler who, on his way home from school one night, meets an old pirate that, after informing him that he is a member of an ancient pirate bloodline known as the Will of D., bestows upon the boy the magical ability to stretch like rubber and tells him of a legendary treasure that will make him King of the Pirates. Armed with the dream to become the Pirate King, he gathers his friends from school to join him on his quest: Zach, a troubled young man who is struggling with father issues while trying to keep his grades up and learning kendo; and Naomi, a talented girl with relationship problems and the best navigator this side of any high-school. Along the way, they face danger and excitement as they learn to look deep inside themselves to find the true courage - and the pirate - that lies within."
what about a Disney animated film adaption of One Piece i would love to see that since One Piece to me resemble somewhat of a Western Animation more.
i would love to see it with a budget of a disney animated film, live action won't do well with One Piece its just much more magical with it being animated.

As sad as it is to think of I could actually see this happening :sad: . I think One Piece is way too long for a movie unless it just goes until they reach the Grand Line or something. And even then it still might be too long.
I would imagine it only Luffy finishing the Morgan arc and then show a small clip at the end where he has a full fledged crew and ship. Though, I'd rather not the US touch One Piece for live action, maybe even live action at all.
Nope. Hollywood will Never get a adaption of an Anime right. You heard me.
Didn't they make a Fist of the North Star live action movie? I want to see that 
. And I agree that an anime movie will probably never be good. They should stick to Comic Books and to a lesser extent video games. Or, you know, make something ORIGINAL :shocked: . Like District 9, though that is based on a short movie so… :ermm:
No, they just need to stop with all of the live-action stuff. Especially for series like One Piece and Dragon Ball.

I would watch the above movie. As long as the words 'one', 'piece', 'grand' or 'line' weren't in the title.
Anyway I'm not majorly opposed to a live action OP film, it should take place in the Jayapeia Arc.
I always roll my eyes when people get their torches & pitchforks at the mere thought of combining Hollywood with anything they already like. The key to a successful addaption is very simple: the more fans involved; the better. And if you want specific people, it's best to atleast try to get them into it first. The result will be things like Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, and Star Trek.
Furthermoe, what's with this only covering Romance Dawn bullshit? You people don't think big enough; that would make for a rather boring, short, and predictable movie. Not to mention it would take forever to get to the Grand Line, which is mentioned all throughout East Blue. And just a heads up: once Zkaizer reads that I'm setting you straight, be prepared for a shitstorm. Speaking of which, for the love of ODA, please discuss plot holes and anything else you don't like about my ideas so that we may improve them. It's a much more productive alternative to threats of rape and other such mindless swearing.
Act 1 would start with Luffy's flashback, fallowed by a fusion of Romance Dawn and the Baratie, where Nami is hiring Zoro and his goofy side-kicks Jonny & Yosaku (who perform the booger gag that was originally between Zoro and Luffy) to take on the biggest bounty in the East Blue: Arlong. At another table, Fullbody and Helmeppo are bragging on a Den Den Mushi that the food here sucks. Sanji gets into a fight with them (Luffy, who came in earlier, has decided his chef thanks to that beautiful speech about the sanctity of food), who threaten to arrest him and "inform" (tell) their "superior" (daddy) for assaulting Marines. Zoro sees the horrified look on Sanji's face (who is scared to death of starvation) and takes the punishment for him (thus making up Luffy's mind on a First Mate). Later, Zeff is nagging Sanji for picking yet another fight and they start to bicker about when they were stranded, but that is interrupted by Luffy attempting to recruit Sanji. Zeff agrees, but Sanji stubbornly refuses to leave. Meanwhile, Zoro is tied to the stairway as Luffy over-hears that the Morgan Brothers aren't going to release Zoro as promised, but have him executed instead. He offers to break Zoro out of this make-shift prison. Just as Luffy is shot down, Jonny & Yosaku yell out that Nami is stealing their boat. Luffy runs up to the window, smashing Yosaku's face into the windowseal, and instantly knows who his navigator is going to be. Just then, Vice Admiral Morgan Krieg burts in and insists that he must confiscate this restraunt for "tactical purposes". But first, he's going to execute whoever had the goll to assault his sons and pulls off his should-pad machine gun, firing at Zoro (triggering a short flashback of Kuina winning against Zoro for the 2,000th time, making their promise with him, and then falling down the stairs), only for his shots to be absorbed by Luffy, who bounces the bullets back. Before they reach Krieg, he pulls his spiked cape around only to be punched in the face through the cape. While Krieg and Luffy fight outside, Jonny & Yosaku untie their buddy so he can get in on the action. Zoro grabs his swords out of the cupboard (where Patty hides his canon) and blocks Helmeppo's weird swords (yes, he has them already) with his "If you move; I'll kill you" pose while Sanji is busy kicking Fullbody senseless. Oh, by the way, Nami has long since given up on hiring these bounty hunters and steals their small boat to go home. Anyway, Luffy vs. Krieg plays out, but with the axe-hand replacing the spear. Luffy mallots Krieg into the outside deck just in time for Mihawk to show up and explain that he was ordered to kill Morgan Krieg for crimes of illigally rising through the ranks. Zoro rushes into battle and, of corse, looses miserably. Once in bandages, he accepts Luffy's invitation, knowing that his current path in life won't ready him to face Mihawk. At the same time, Zeff refuses to let Sanji back in and insists that he'll have to leave whether he likes it or not, and so he also joins Luffy.
One thing that really irks me, how are the Morgan Brothers going to agree to switching Sanji with Zoro? (For clarity, I'm giving pre-Jango Fullbody the same personality as Helmeppo since they'll have the same upbringing) Anyway, I'll get to Act 2 with my next post. And don't worry about Coby, he'll show up in Act 3.
Just a place-holder until I find a more interesting picture.

All correct answers.
OT: What happened to hollywood doing Cowboy Bebop? Is this still happening?
Besides the answers above, OP might not really transate well to a live action movie. Their fighting styles, the exaggerations… It just wouldn't be the same if they're bound (mostly bound) by the laws of reality. People moving really fast like they do in anime and what not looks REALLY cheesy live no matter how good the effects are. What would be worse is if they tried to copy Oda's exaggerated faces.

I forgot about that. I think Cowboy Bebop would make a pretty good movie. It's somewhat realistic despite the Sci-Fi stuff unlike OP where the laws of physics are almost constantly being broken. The only thing I'd like to change is that I don't really want Keanu Reeves playing Spike.
stop joking plz 
one piece + hollywood =fail
one piece + disney = fail x 100
Exagerated faces is also a very simple problem to solve. Simply adivse all the actors to exersize their faces regularly. If they aren't statisfactory, I'll personally hand-craft their faces before every shot so that they can't possibly not know the motions. Devil Fruit users and sea kings, some of the few things to be digitized, would be even easier. The animators will simply be advised to take notes from Oda's panels and our own Loony Toons.
Also, 2D animation. There isn't enough of it and it would please me very much if, instead of erasing or replacing smokes, they are simply hand-drawn onto each frame.
Oh, I almost forgot! I didn't expect to post again before going to bed, so Act 2 will be tomarrow.
Looking at Dragonball Evolution and Super Mario Bros. as examples.
NO.
Hell no. One Piece would never, ever fly in Hollywood. Do you think a mainstream American audience would be ok with Mr. 2? Or Franky? In my opinion, one of the greatest things about One Piece is that it manages to be epic without taking itself too seriously. Hollywood is not good at that. Even in the American dub, Luffy comes off as much cockier and tougher. I don't want Vin Diesel doing Oni Giri (renamed to Demon Slash or something).

This is true. But what about the first few arcs? Up until the Captain Morgan arc, the storyline and characters were rather tame. If you were to take the first few arcs of the storyline and translate them into a movie, would the mainstream American public be ok with it? This is with only the most minimal changes being made, such as some of the weapons (i.e. Alvida's club) being less exaggerated.
I honestly think that it could fly.
Now, I do realize that given the chance, Hollywood would most likely screw this movie up worse than ahem Dragonball, so this idea is purely speculation.
While I have interest in seeing the elements that make OP a great series as a live action film, I have no interest in seeing a 'One Piece' live action film.
Case in point: The Neverending Story.
Amazing film? Check.
Crazy shit? Check.
Insane villains? Check.
Incredibly creative? Check.
Childish shit? Check.
Messages that hit your heart as an adult? Check.
That's all OP. It CAN be done in a film and it should be. But I suppose I'd just rather not have it be limited by the franchise title.
^^ it shouldnt be done in my eyes.. we dont have good expierences with such projects and i can`t see how this amazing series with so much potential and such a fanbase who all have different thoughts how it should look like could be pleasured..
when it won`t have the spirit it will just be another FAIL which will be moaned about for weeks…thats not worth it.
Also why has no one addressed the fact that the thread creator wants to do it only up to the Captain Morgan arc? Every single minute of anime up to that point (including Luffy flashback and filler and openings and endings) would only total about 90 minutes, which is still short for a feature length movie.
A sane thing to do would be to do it up to the Arlong arc, with the promise of the Grand Line for a sequel
and it would still be godawful

It's only about 90 minutes? True, dragging it out to 120 min would be stretching it a bit thin…
If you did it up until the Arlong arc, you would have too many characters and you'd have to rush through the stories, presenting too much information too quickly for the typical American moviegoer to grasp. I mean, after the Morgan Arc, you have Buggy and his crew, the entire Kuro/Syrup Village arc and associated characters, followed by the Baratie arc and the intro of Mihawk, and then you'd have to introduce the concept of fishmen and go through all of the Arlong Park saga. The resulting movie would be Peter-Jackson lengthy and confusing as hell.

skypia was good but it isnt actually good to take here cause this adventure their is abit out of the normal mainstory of OP…cmon you don`t even see pirates up their 
Impossible. Unless its when one piece ended and it acts as a filler. But like like everyone said, one piece + hollywood = fail one piece + disney = fail^1 000 000 000 One piece + bollywood = win
An Indian One Piece movie would work? How?
@Don:

Jaya had plenty of pirates. I'm assuming a movie about Skypiea would start off there.

Having the Morgan arc would be just TERRIBLE. They'd add Nami for it probably, forget the fact that Zoro (portrayed as a Brick.) killed that dog. Both backstories will be gone.
Morgan will have slaughtered thousands upon thousdands and be part of the British Navy (because its never the Americans who are the evil ones.)
Just like Square Enix + Disney amirite?:silly:
Two completely different things.
I'm not too opposed to a Live action One Piece movie but Hollywood seems to fail in the anime department with Speed Racer and Dragon Ball Evolution. Now if it was a Marvel francise It would probably be more faithful to the manga. But then again only Americans care about making their stuff faithful while forgein francises seem to be treated like shit in Hollywood. I'll throw a fucking brick on my PC if I hear that Justin Chatwin is Monkey D Luffy!
I liked Speed Racer :ermm: .
What are you talking about? Speed Racer was awesome.
They only used the Mach 5 once during the whole movie…...:sad:
that's my only problem with the movie everything else was great.

live movie?
U.S?
hahahaha!
this is one of the reasons why we should THANK 4kids for fucking the series up!! It polarized the popularity of OP in the USA, thus making the series we love, whore-proof. It sucks that One Piece was handled so badly and now lacks exposure (up to date episodes and manga would be great!), but it has also ensured that a live-movie, stupid toys, pointless marketing and everything that has been done to Naruto and DBZ won't happen to our beloved series.
just wait. We'll be seeing a Naruto movie in the future and we'll be thanking the gods that it wasn't OP once we see just how shitty a live action Naruto would be.
This is the kind of thing Cthulhu has nightmares about
honestly though, who wouldn't?

I adressed it. You and I have the right idea, except I'm not unreasonably pessimistic.
Andrew, you've obviously never seen movies like Gremlins where they cram several gags into each moment. Besides, my idea completely ignores all the worst characters and combines others.
No, Zkaizer, Disney does NOT mix with Oda. Disney mixes with Myazaki; Warner Brothers mixes with Oda. You know, the same people who produced 300, Watchmen, and DARK KNIGHT RETURNS? If there's any production company that would apreciate One Piece and want to please the fans, it's the people who gave us the Loony Toons.
And to nearly everybody else, it's not like Hollywood as EVER made a good movie EVER, right? Or atleast, none that anyone on this entire website has ever seen.
Just a place-holder until I find a more interesting picture.
