According to Weekly Shonen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano, the show will be turned into an overseas/foreign drama and handling it is the Hollywood producer Marty Adelstein’s Tomorrow ITV Studios. The studio is also the company behind the live-action remake of Cowboy Bebop. Although this is not the first time that One Piece will be getting a live-action, this one will be the first foreign made.
