Yes, the live-action One Piece is currently in production, with filming well underway. The story will cover Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island! Think about it. Imagine how much it’ll cost! Lol. But whether it’s the script or the cast, I continue to insist on this or that, which makes Matt the Showrunner go “Aaarrgh!” and Netflix go “Noooo!” and Tomorrow Studios go “Whaaaat” as they all pull their hairs out. All that, even though we grew so close making season 1.
But it’s because we all share the same passion for this show! Just as with last season, they’ve gone out of their way to promise that they won’t put the show out until I’m satisfied. This isn’t in the contract, you know. It’s a verbal pledge. I hope you can appreciate how amazing and determined they are for keeping their word. And they’ve certainly proven their ability to bring this world to the screen. I just can’t wait to see it!
Meanwhile, the previously announced cast is compiled on the official X account, so go check it out. The Grand Line is an even more expansive “World”. You may wonder, what was the inspiration behind that kingdom? How would it connect to the real world? Naturally, the distinctive cast members have been assembled from around the world, and I can’t help but get excited thinking about how the adventure has already begun!
Among those yet to be announced, what about Vivi? And Miss All Sunday? What’re they doing with Chopper? We can’t announce everyone all at once, but starting tomorrow, we’ll be announcing more cast members over three days: August 21, 22 and 23.
Look out for those, and stay tuned for more exciting updates to come!
Season 1 of live-action One Piece Season is now available on Netflix, all of the Straw Hat Pirates namely Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Mackenyu (Roronoa Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp) and Taz Skylar (Sanji) will also be reprising their roles.

The announcement was both made by the company’s social media account and also by Daniel Dae Kim in a recent video meeting with the rest of the cast.
Whether you like the series or not, it appears that enough people love the show for Netflix to renew it for two more seasons.
Here are some numbers about the show that the Netflix released with their announcement.
Since it premiered two weeks ago, Avatar: The Last Airbender has been the No. 1 English-language TV show, amassing 41.1 million views in just the first 11 days. Additionally, the show was No. 1 in 76 countries and in the Top 10 in 92.

Netflix just released the official trailer for the live action adaptation of the famous manga/anime Parasyte.
This film adaptation however does not have Shinichi as the main character. The film may possibly explore other characters from the manga.
The trailer shows a female lead, starred by Jeon So-Nee, as she attempts to survive in a world ravaged by parasite-infested humans. The premise does have similarities to how Shinichi co-exists with his parasyte Migi.
Other cast members are new-ish faces in Netflix, but with rather diverse performance portfolios. Koo Kyo-Hwan takes on the role of Seol Kang-woo. The trailer doesn’t reveal much of his role but it looks like he will be a major supporting character. Singer-actress Lee Jung-hyun will act as part of a police force that will combat the onslaught of deadly parasites.
The trailer doesn’t reveal too much info, and this will be good news for would-be fans of the Netflix show.
This is not the manga’s first live-action adaptation. The 2014 film Parasyte: Part 1, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, was followed shortly by Parasyte: Part 2 the following year.
In comparison to the first two films, this adaptation seems to be more visceral and has a darker undertone due to an urban setting and more mature characters.
Parasyte: The Grey will stream on Netflix starting April 6 this year.

Due to economic uncertainty, Blue Sky Studios had to shut down before they got the chance to finish the project. However, previous employees at Blue Sky Studios still worked on the project to bring it to life.
The film had been in the works since 2015, and the release date originally scheduled for a 2022 release. Disney also rejected the film, stating that it contained LGBT themes, as revealed by an interview by three former Blue Sky Studios employees.
In a fortunate turn of events, Annapurna Animation picked up the project and brought it back from development limbo. The voice cast for Nimona includes Chloe-Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, Frances Conroy, and Eugene Lee Yang.
The film received positive reception by the audience, scoring a high 7.5 in IMDb.

This new teaser however, reveals a possible plot direction for the second season. Some of the cast will return. One of the most anticipated appearances for Squid Game Season 2 will be of Investigator Hwang Jun-ho. The audience were left with an ambiguous ending when the investigator’s brother shoots him and Hwang Jun-ho falls to his death (or not).

However, Squid Game Season 2 will soon stream on Netflix, and we just have to wait and see for the actual series to unravel the plot.
Tina Fey is back with a new spin on the popular teen comedy movie. This time, Cady Heron, the role formerly held previously by Lindsay Lohan, will be taking on “new” friends and enemies.

Fey’s new take on the film is a combination of the Tony nominated Broadway musical and the first film. The comedian-actress who also worked as SNL’s senior writer aims to capture the popularity of the first movie. In a separate interview, she talks about how she approached Paramount and their initial disbelief to her pitch.
Fey further elaborates that the movie isn’t purely comical, and that there will be moments the audience can connect to the characters.
