Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball, Avatar and Heath Ledger

Okay, so, four topics to cover. Let's get started.

First off, some breaking news from Anime News Network: Fox is doing a live-action adaption of Cowboy Bebop. Okay....WHAT THE EFF! Did someone have too much fun preparing for Comic-Con? Are they still on AX time? What the? Already, a heated debate is going. Will it be faithful? Will Yoko Kanno do the music? Taken directly from Zac's post in the forum, the confirmed cast list:

"Justin Chatwin as Spike
Carlos Mencia as Jet
Cameron Diaz as Faye
Elisha Dushku as Ed

And featuring Andy Serkis as Ein, using amazing motion capture technology!"

FYI, Andy Serkis is Gollum. He's cool
Justin Chatwin -playing Goku in Dragonball. Hmm, also being done by Fox. This is interesting...
Carlos Mencia-Mind of Mencia. This can not be true!
Cameron Diaz-we know her as Justin Timberlake's ex. Yeah, uh, NO!
Elusah Dushku-who are you?

Oh, this is going to be a long night for Cowboy Bebop fans.

Next, Dragonball. New pictures have been published in Japan. There are reports that Fox will be advertising it at Comic-Con this weekend. Immediate Music has made custom music for the trailer-could it be out this summer? Here's what I want-THE HARRY POTTER TRAILER! COME ON! I WANT TO SEE DAN! Plus, the movie is coming out in Japan before the States. And I thought it was an American film?

Next is my personal favorite, Avatar. The series finale was on Saturday and I watched it with tears in my eyes. If you have not watched it, SHAME ON YOU! The ending is so PERFECT! Next up in the Avatarverse is a trip to Comic-Con for the creators, airing the last two episodes and doing a Q&A. Ten bucks half of the questions will be: is there more episode on the way? Where's Zuko's mom? Why didn't Zutara win? I love Kataang! Thank you! That's all. What's with the movie? Well, the movie is currently in pre-production by the awesome M. Night You-Know-Who-He-Is. It is being called The Last Airbender after a legal dispute over some dumb movie with the title Avatar. But, that dude is James Cameron. He did bring us Titanic with Leo...
Anyway, the creators are totally okay with Nighty doing it. And so am I. He loves the show which is a bonus! Filming starts next year in Philly in May with filming then moving on to Greenland. Guess that's where the Water Tribes will be! I guessing later this year casting will begin and next year they will start to announce. Then, the fun begins!

Lastly, Heath Ledger. As we all know, he died in January. I have been watching most of his films lately and this week I'm seeing The Dark Knight. I miss you Heath.

Next installment will include: the inner workings of a writer, Haruhi Suzumiya, the latest word on new movies, Comic Con updates, and maybe some Twilighty goodness!

Well, that's all for tonight!

Till next time,
