Live-Action Remake
A possible live action feature based on the anime series has been planned for development by the cable television network Starz. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess, Legend of the Seeker) are the executive producers for the project. Stephen Lightfoot was serving as executive producer and writer but was replaced by Sean Jablonski In August 2012, writers Cyrus Voris, and Ethan Reiff were signed on to write for the series.
In June 2011, Starz gave a greenlight to the show with a straight to series order. The number of episodes of the first season has yet to be determined, though some speculated it will likely be in the 8-13 episode range.
In March 2012, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht commented that production has been put on hiatus as he states in an interview "We're in a bit of holding patttern with Noir."
