Netflix's live-action TV series "One Piece" has completed its script and is set to be produced on a grand scale

Earlier this year, Netflix announced that it would launch a live-action series of the famous Japanese manga "One Piece", with a total of 10 episodes in the first season. It will be produced in cooperation with Tomorrow Studio ("Prison Break", the TV series "Snowpiercer"), with a total of 10 episodes in the first season. It is reported that the live-action version of "One Piece" was announced as early as 2017, with the author Eiichiro Oda as the producer, and the casting of actors will be announced later.

According to foreign media Comicbook, Marty Adelstan, who is responsible for the production of the show, recently said, "We originally planned to start filming in Cape Town, South Africa in August, and now we expect to be able to shoot in September at the latest. We have basically completed the scripts for these 10 episodes, and we will prepare for casting when we go back. I will start casting on June 1. Now we have a lot of candidates and it is expected to start production in September. The scale of the production of this show will be very large, much larger than the TV version of "Snowpiercer".

Judging from Marty Adelstan's words, the producer seems to be very confident about the live-action version of "One Piece", but considering the level of changes Hollywood has made to classic Japanese comics in the past, the quality of this live-action version remains to be seen.
