The live-action One Piece is preparing to make its debut on Netflix, which has made it clear that it has done everything to avoid a flop and, indeed, aims to rewrite the history of adaptations by creating a product appreciable by fans and not . In fact, the live-action will debut on August 31st. What can we expect? They are the platform itself and the One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda to give us an idea of the commitment and work lavished on its creation, with the aim of rewrite the history of live-action. In fact, the project brings with it great expectations, but also many fears on the part of the fans, who fear seeing their favorite work crippled. As Oda himself has repeatedly reiterated, the process of bringing Luffy & Co. in the flesh to the screen was long and complicated, and not always satisfying at the first attempt.
The requirements to choose a Mugiwara are not strength. Luffy knows what really matters to him. I thought it was impossible to make a live-action ONE PIECE, but with today’s technology, it can be done. We must express all the cruelty of the great Ocean” reads one of the posters that populate the Tokyo subway lines. We must aim for an unprecedented hit. Believe in history. Focus on what’s interesting instead of technique. There’s a relationship of trust between me and the fans, and I can’t lie to them.
One Piece: Netflix aims high and raises with the soundtrack
Netflix has in turn confirmed the enormous commitment to make the production successful. In the meantime it has also been shared “Wealth Fame Power!”, the main theme song of the Netflix live-action adaptation. The song is available on digital platforms now, with the rest of the new show’s soundtrack available on August 31, the same day the live-action debuts on the streaming platform. The composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli they explained how “Wealth Fame Power!” reflects the bond between Gol D. Roger, the first Pirate King, and Monkey D. Luffy. The couple stated the following:
As soon as the swords are drawn and the crowd rushes in search of the ONE PIECE, we reverse Roger’s theme and introduce Luffy’s theme, the main theme of our show. Roger’s theme is all about the downward movement, as it is the end of the journey for Roger. Luffy’s theme, on the other hand, is all about the upward movement, as it is the beginning of his exciting journey to become the Pirate King.
