Bringing 'One Piece' to live-action first required Marc Jobst and company to answer the question of 'why?'
The Big Picture Translating anime and manga into live-action is a remarkably difficult feat if past attempts have revealed anything. Failures like the Death Note film, the Cowboy Bebop series, or the truly dreadful Dragon Ball: Evolution completely missed the mark on what made their inspiration special and failed to justify their existence in the face of their far greater animated counterparts.
When asked if there was something from the series that was necessary in their eyes to differentiate the series, Jobst said "Well, yes, really," and assured that the "why" of a live-action One Piece was discussed before anything got underway.
"Of course, when you go into live-action, what you're adding is dimension. When you put a character, a warm-blooded human being, an actor playing these two-dimensional drawings on a piece of paper, what you're really doing is you're dimensionalizing the character; you're giving them a full three-dimensional emotional life that has a backstory, that has wants and desires, that has pains and hurts, that laughs, that cries, that has all of human frailty to it.
