One Piece’s live-action announcement was certainly surprising. Given the history of live-action movies and series, especially in the anime genre, fans initially had their expectations low, and there was a general belief that the Netflix series would be another disappointment.

Yet, surprisingly and fortunately, the series was an immense success. Not only did the series remain true to the source, but it was the casting and actors who stole the spotlight. While actors like Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, and others impressed fans with their talents, Taz Skylar as Sanji stole the show, with many fans declaring his Sanji better than the anime’s version. In a recent appearance, the actor revealed how the negative comments regarding his casting really pushed him to the extreme.

Emily Rudd playing the role of Nami in the recent One Piece live-action adaptation series is without a doubt one of the best decisions the casting team of Netflix has ever made. Not only does she play her role with perfection, but she quite literally descends into the character of Nami, essentially giving the best performance on screen.
One major aspect challenge that is faced during the production of any anime’s live-action adaptation is the reproduction of stunts in real life. This was the case with the One Piece live-action series too, but fortunately, they were able to overcome it with the help of the dedicated cast, such as Rudd herself, who agreed to do all her grueling stunt scenes on her own.

British actor Henry Cavill portrayed the character of Geralt of Rivia for Netflix’s fantasy show The Witcher from 2019 to 2023. Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the show is based on a book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski. The story explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Princess Ciri.
Upon the release of the show, it received a positive response from the audience and the critics with some hiccups during the second and third seasons. Cavill’s performance as Geralt of Rivia was highly lauded by the audience and critics with them mentioning that he brings brawny charisma to the series as well as the character. The actor had a very specific reason to play the character on-screen.

When the One Piece live-action series was released, many One Piece fans expected that it would follow a similar emotional genre to the manga and anime. It will majorly be a humorous adventure with some amount of dark and villainous elements to it. And the only character that best adapted this was Buggy the Clown.
Buggy The Clown in Live-action
Buggy is played by Jeff Ward and he did a brilliant job in bringing out the insane and overly dramatic clown who wants to terrorize people and also has a big streak of selfish nature. However, the only difference between the live-action Buggy and the One Piece anime Buggy was that the live-action Buggy is much darker than Eiichiro Oda’s version.
Marc Jobst, the Director of One Piece’s live-action adaptation on Netflix, in an interview, explained the reason why he wanted Buggy to be much more darker and dense than the anime version.

There’s a version of “One Piece” that follows Eiichiro Oda’s original manga more closely. In the original story, the East Blue Saga chronicles Luffy and his pirate crew’s adventures right until they hit Loguetown, the last big port before they hit the Grand Line — a stretch of sea known for bigger, badder pirates and more impressive treasure.
It’s a storytelling formula that’s common in manga. You spend the first major arc building up your hero and introducing viewers to the stakes of this world and end the story right before the next major challenge. But instead of ending with a multi-enemy fight at Loguetown, the first season of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece” stops right before that, ending with Luffy’s (Iñaki Godoy) fight with Arlong (McKinley Belcher III). The culprit? Berries — er, money.

The Straw Hat Pirates are growing their ranks.
The audience for Netflix’s One Piece ballooned during the series’ first full week on the service, tallying 19.3M views from September 4 to September 10 and easily making it to the top of Netflix’s English-language TV list for the week. The audience is up nearly a million views from last week, when the adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga accumulated 18.5M views in its premiere weekend.
The eight-episode series still has a ways to go before it could land on the all-time most popular list, but 37.8M views in less than two weeks is still quite a feat. And there’s plenty of time left in the series’ 91-day premiere window to make it happen.

One Piece actress Emily Rudd revealed the hilarious reason why she was "scared" in her meeting with series creator Eiichiro Oda.
Rudd portrays Nami in Netflix's live-action adaptation of the hit anime and manga, the navigator of Luffy's Straw Hat crew and former member of the Arlong Pirates.

One specific Luke Cage episode was intended to set up a new Marvel spin-off series, according to director Marc Jobst.
Luke Cage, along with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist, were part of Marvel's short-lived television universe on Netflix during the late 2010s. The rights to the characters have since reverted back to Disney, which led to the cancellation of all of Netflix's Marvel series and saw their movement over to Disney+ in 2022.
The partnership between Marvel TV and Netflix resulted in six different series that made up The Defenders Saga, totaling over 10 seasons of television. But it appears the plan once was to have many more.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers through Episode 2 of “One Piece,” now streaming on Netflix.
When Marc Jobst came on as director and executive producer of “One Piece,” Netflix and Tomorrow Studios’ adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s iconic pirate manga, he had a clear connection to the gig early on, as he had directed multiple episodes of the high-seas drama “Black Sails.” That show, which ran for four season on Starz, features several of the ships that Netflix commandeered to refashion into the bright and colorful ones used in “One Piece.”
While the series’ crew was handling that overhaul, Jobst was working to create an overall aesthetic for the “blue skies” adaptation of “One Piece” that also allowed for the natural incorporation of the manga’s darkest elements, including villain Buggy the Clown (Jeff Ward).

From Daredevil and Luke Cage to The Witcher and now One Piece, Marc Jobst has quietly become one of Netflix’s most prolific directors.
Born in Zimbabwe, the One Piece director/executive producer has now worked on seven Netflix series, and he has Luke Cage to thank in particular for this latest collaboration. In 2018, Jobst directed Cage’s season two episode, “Wig Out,” which was written by Matt Owens, One Piece’s co-showrunner. Owens never forgot the way Jobst handled the varying tones of his Cage episode, so that encounter led to Jobst directing the first two episodes of One Piece and setting the tone for the entire series, which released on Thursday.
“Out of the blue, I got this phone call asking if I would be interested in coming to talk about shooting One Piece. And what Matt [Owens] told me was, it was partly because of the fact that...

As a school of adaptation, the live-action take on anime and manga is only slightly less cursed than the live-action series or film based on a video game. Yet remarkably, 2023 is set to be a banner year for both. In January, HBO premiered “The Last of Us,” the hit drama that takes the same somber, character-driven approach to a zombie apocalypse as the 2013 game. With rave reviews, major ratings and a raft of Emmy nominations, “The Last of Us” successfully bucked a multi-decade trend. A few months later, “The Super Mario Bros.” movie would repeat the feat at the box office, if not quite with critics.
Netflix may have eyed this trend with some interest as the global streaming service has prepared the launch of “One Piece,” a series adapted from the long-running manga written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. Similar undertakings have a checkered history, a fact Netflix itself...

“Henry does every single beat of his stunts. He won’t even allow a hand. If you’re doing a close-up of a hand grabbing a sword, it has to be his hand,” Jobst said. “That’s draining on your number one, so after three series, I feel, ‘Okay, he’s brought the show into being, and if he feels like he’s done what he can, I trust him.'”
It was announced late last year that Cavill would depart the show after its third season, which premiered its final three episodes on July 27.

Stunt teams are some of the hardest working people in the industry. They literally put their lives on the line just to entertain us and yet there’s so little acknowledgement of their contributions. There is no Oscar for stunt work, but there should be. Netflix’s adaptation of Jupiter’s Legacy has secured one of the industry’s hottest stunt choreographers, one who is no stranger to superhero action, Philip J. Silvera.
If you’ve read Jupiter’s Legacy already, you know Frank Quitely’s artwork leaps off the page, splattered with intense moments of sanguineous bloodshed. Quitely’s graphic style is a perfect fit for Silvera, who says he’s always been inspired by the visceral violence of films like Goodfellas and The Godfather Part II.
“My action in the past has always had a bit of a lead pipe brutality to it,” confesses Silvera with a grin.

Netflix has released the trailer for its hotly anticipated eight-episode series “The Witcher,” which the streaming giant will drop Dec. 20. The fantasy- and magic-laden show stars Henry Cavill as monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as the young princess Ciri, and Anya Chalotra as sorceress Yennefer.
Variety spoke exclusively at Italy’s Lucca Comics & Games confab with Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the show’s executive producer and showrunner, about the challenges of adapting the “Witcher” books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, which have already spawned a popular role-playing game series.
Can you tell me how you set up the narrative for the first season?
For me the overall theme of the books, as I read them, was really about this broken family at the center of it, which is Geralt of Rivia, Ciri and Yennefer. They are tied together by destiny; they are all orphans in the world, kind of loners.

Four episodes into season three, the reverberations of the season two finale are still being felt. Given the monumental nature of “Mizumono”, that feels appropriate, and the first trio of episodes of season three have dealt primarily with the Red Dinner’s emotional and psychological fallout for Hannibal and Will. These episodes have been full of dream imagery and projections, exploring the psychology of these characters and meditating upon their decisions and pasts through recurring visual motifs and stylish directorial flourishes more than dialogue or plot. With “Aperitivo”, that changes, giving audiences a much more concrete look at the fallout of season two for the characters left in Baltimore.

BBC One is moving ahead with The Ladies’ Paradise, an eight-episode series loosely based on Emile Zola’s novel Au Bonheur Des Dames. Set in England’s first department store, the series tells the rags-to-riches story of Denise Lovett (Joanna Vanderham, Above Suspicion), a young girl who works in the store and gets caught up in the charms of the modern world. Denise is a 19th-century Working Girl – big-hearted, smarter than she’s taken to be and more ambitious than those pretty eyes suggest. BBC One put the series on the fast track a year ago with the hire of Bill Gallagher (Lark Rise) to write it. Marc Jobst is set to direct. Vanderham is with Wme.
