'We didn’t want to make it a complete redo adaptation.'
The Big Picture When something as culturally important as One Piece gets adapted after existing in the hearts and minds of fans for decades, the people in charge of putting it together get in a difficult position. First, they need to make sure that the adaptation has at least some resemblance to the source material so that fans can retain their sense of familiarity, but then they also need to bring something new so that the new version feels fresh.
Whitaker told Collider that one thing that greatly helped her was the fact that she and director Marc Jobst were both fans of the anime and manga, so each of them could bring their share of knowledge of the One Piece universe to the table. On top of that, they needed to make sure there was one person they thought would approve any decision they made: The creator of the whole franchise, Eiichiro Oda.
“Marc [Jobst] and I, both loving the manga and the anime separately, we decided to take cues from both of them—mostly from the manga, for sure—and just to be respectful of what we knew [Eiichiro] Oda would want to do in terms of the different canons for the different characters. We didn’t want to make it a complete redo adaptation of anything.
One Piece Is Closer Than Ever With a premiere that’s barely a week away, we’ll soon know exactly what Whitaker means. However, the trailers have already hinted that Netflix pulled at no stops to make One Piece look as good as possible. Even Luffy’s superpower – being able to stretch his body to bizarre lengths – which had the potential to not translate to live action looks like it worked, so there’s a chance we’ll witness one of the best anime to live-action adaptations ever this year.
The cast of One Piece also features Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp and Taz Skylar as Sanji. The series is, of course, based on the long-running manga series and anime created by author Eiichiro Oda, who also served as producer for the live-action adaptation.
