march 2019 -rumours about netflix acquiring it (cowboy bebop made by tomorrow studios already announced as an acquirement by netflix, so its probably true)
here's a nice thread about it with a lot of info:
resetera.com/threads/one-piece-live-action-netflix-series-seemingly-confirmed.104154 (i know resetera sucks)

This series has a lot of probability to go wrong but if it really is a very high budget with good pace i can see it doing well especially with a writer that seemingly loves One Piece and with Oda so involved. Plus Netflix backing is always good

July 2019 Update: writer Matt Owens hired. Said to have an incredible knowledge of One Piece(Oda himself was impressed)

The first season will probably cover east blue and finish with the entry in the grand line(it makes the most sense, because it will make you feel satisfied and at the same time will make you want to watch more)

The first season doesnt have specially difficult abilities to make in cgi, here's a flash charachter with the same power as luffy, even though flash as a really low budget comparing to what one piece is going to have (1,5-2 million per episode vs 9-10 million per episode):

buggy's power is way easier im just more worried about how are they going to make him look

To me the hardest thing will be the comedy wich is almost impossible to replicate since most moments would be too cringy, they are probably going to have to make it a little more serious with more subtle comedy idk, well see.

Dont forget pirates of the caribean was made in 2003 and One Piece live action is 2020 with approximately the same budget, the cgi these days is way better.

And dont compare this to the death note netflix adaptation, that was a completely different company, i've been following this and im way more hopeful, they really are taking their time and plus the death note company they made the stupidest error wich was making a movie instead of a mini series so they had to completely change the plot.

i hope it will be 10 1 hour episodes for east blue or 13 45 mins one, 13 1 hour would be the ideal.

the anime has 60 20 mins episodes wich is basically 20 hours but i think with 10-13 hours they can tell the east blue arc, something like:

1 episode for zoro and cobey(forgot his name)
1 episode for buggy
2 episodes usopp(maybe 1 a lil more rushed since this arc is the worst)
3 to baratie,
3 or 4 to fishman
1 or 2 to loguetown
1 entering the grand line(or like 2o mins in the end of the second loguetown episode

Anyone as hyped as me or are all of you pessimistic

dont care

It's gonna be ass bro, One Piece is impossible to pull off live actioned

S*** its actually happening

cannot wait to scroll past this and not click on it

Not excited

In

this will be my introduction to the one piece hope it's good

Man , don’t get into it like this

Stop making live action anime movies, they suck, they’re garbage. Stop, stop, stop

We haven’t had a single good one. STOP

Nigga please read the manga

Don't make this trash your 1st glimpse

Real curious about the official budget numbers

So many weirdos so stuck up about watching animation programs like they’re too grown for them

trash ass mindset, it’s ironically childish

I'm cautiously optimistic, most likely going to be s*** but I'm really hoping they can pull it off

M night Shyamalan's Avatar Movie would like a word with you

wtf one piece is way too long for this s*** how can it be good?

Its a TV show not :​ a movie though

Message from Oda

Stopped paying attention to one piece after Ace

Anime House invented

even worse

out af there's no way this could work in live action
