John Cho, the star of the upcoming live-action Cowboy Bebop series, said he hasn’t talked to original series director Shinichirō Watanabe yet.
While promoting his new movie The Grudge, IGN had the opportunity to ask Cho some Cowboy Bebop questions. Cho may be playing Spike, the main character, but he said he hasn’t talked to Watanabe yet. He assures fans that he stayed true to the “unique” and “weird” source material.
“I think that was the big thing I was focusing on all the time was…we got to keep it strange and that’s hard to do, but I watched some of the stuff and I’m really happy with it,” Cho said.
Cho said his favorite moments from the show include the scene where Faye walks into the shower to confront Glen in the episode “Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)” and the eight-minute hunt for a Betamax player from “Speak Like A Child.”
