John Cho Issues a Beatdown in Stylish Cowboy Bebop Trailer: Watch
After much anticipation, the live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop comes to Netflix next month and today, the streamer shared the stylish teaser trailer. In the clip, fans get a closer look at André Neme’s interpretation of the space Western anime.
