Cashing in on the cult status of Drive?

But played like Ken in Barbie.

Honestly, it looks like it could be goofy action fun, but it doesn't look like it'll actually be good.

Looks pretty fun to me. Capturing the Gosling action hero bits from Grey Man while channeling his 'why the fuck am I here' comedy from Nice Guys.

How can they call this an "original series"?

I am pretty sure I already saw this decades ago with Toshiro Mifune and Richard Chamberlain.

Because maybe they are changing it to be more historically based then the novel and its subsequent mini series.  I'm not saying that is the case but that is a possibility.

It is a new production with new script, actors, director, production company and finance, Original to FX. 

Just like the Jack Reacher series is an Amazon Prime Original.

Looks like I'm signing up for Hulu in February.

I've been meaning to rewatch the 80's miniseries (I actually bought it on dvd way back when). If I wait to rewatch later, it might be like watching Dune 2000 after seeing the new film.

I could swear that in the original miniseries, Mariko never does more than maybe use a knife to stab a ninja, and maybe (badly) trying to use a sword. This version seems to have her being a highly capable warrior, and I wonder if that's based on the book or ... well, just Hollywood doing Hollywood things.

Yeah the trailer looks a bit generic tbh, I’ll wait for the reviews. Loved the book, never seen the old miniseries so i hope this turns out good but FXs quality is a mixed bag. On a side note I hope the CP2077 life action project is handled by HBO who have already worked with Anonymous content previously, would be perfect for it.
