About the live action adaptation of "Cobra the space pirate" by TERASAWA Buichi.


If the project began in 20th century, we watched Gérard Depardieu as Cobra on screen ... (COBRA was modeled on Jean=Paul Belmondo).

--------
R.I.P 野沢 那智/NOZAWA Nachi , a voice actor as COBRA original TV series, Blues Willis, David McCallum and Alain Delon.

Alexandre Aja's working on Cobra? Very curious about it, looking forward to reading more about the project... Kind of movie that could easily go wrong.

Gerard Depardiouuu as Cobra? haha, thanks for the laugh!

Yes, Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur are working on the live action movie Cobra.
And as a matter of fact I'm on the project, too!
I've been working with the French producer for several years.
We are very happy to find Alex and Greg who are great fans of Cobra.
The TV series are broadcasted and the mangas are also translated in France.
We'll try our best to make a great film!

Marvelous！
In fact, When heard the news on this September, we (COBRA fan who lives in Japan) thought "Woah, Dragonball Evolution (or Thunderbirds Hollywood in 2004) nightmare comes again".

Now, we cherish great hopes for the movie.
良いお仕事を！Bon Courage!

trailer made by SEGA and TAKEUCHI Atsushi, Production I.G. (director of "STAR WARS Clone wars" first season #10).

I can understand very much the reaction of ten_zero.
For Alex this project is very important not just for his career but for his childhood dream.
He says that Cobra was his hero just as the ones in Star Wars!
I'll let yo know the evolution of the project in the futur!
We won't dissapoint you! (at least we'll try our very best)

Ganbare, French COBRA team !

By the way, French "Lady" over dub (Mechanical Effect) voice is very interesting.

Spoiler : Keep close if you takes no interest in Japanese Animation :

Nozawa"Cobra" and Sakakibara"Lady" Blu-ray BOX PV

[Fabrice]

Sakakibara"Lady" is for sure an interesting character, as important as Cobra I think.

It's also a big part of my own childhood.

[donbartolo]

Ten_Zero> Lady lost her 'mechanical voice " in the french dub of Cobra the Animation (2010).
Fabrice> Humm... The producers didn't thought the same way for the last adaptation, because she almost doesn't appear... ^^;

最近のちょっと面白い話としては、COBRAがフランスで実写映画化される話が出ていることかな。
僕が直接関わっているわけじゃないけど、監督（※Alexandre Aja氏）が COBRAの大ファンらしくて、とても楽しみにしているんだ。
まだ企画段階らしいから、実際に映画になるまでにはまだたくさんのハードルがあると思うけど、頑張ってほしいな。
フランス人は、本当にCOBRA好きが多いんだよ。なんでだろうね。

---my broken translate--------
By the way, I am interesting about the project "COBRA" French movie.
I do not participate in the plan directly, however I hear that the director (Alexandre Aja) is a big fan of COBRA and expect him very much.

The plan just began preliminary stage.
Many problems has come to them, may their dreams come true.

There are really many COBRA fan in France.
I don't know why*.

*...He spoke in a modest "somebody please tell me about the reason".

[Fabrice]

Hmmm, although the scene takes place in the future, Cobra has something peculiar which is close to Arsene Lupin.
