Cowboy Bebop: the Movie

[Ito, Michiko]

Dear Kine-Japaners,

"Cowboy Bebop: The Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door" will be released on
theater in the US, and LA Times published an article on the movie, including
an interview with its director, Shinichiro Watanabe.  The original was a TV
series released in 1998 and off the scope of KineJapan.  But since this
articles is about the theater version, so I am providing the URL of the
article.  Director Watanabe stated that he was influenced by American movies
of the 60s and 70s.
