'Cowboy Bebop' showrunner André Nemec explains what may be the live-action series' biggest surprise — and a fan favorite's post-credits debut.
The new live-action adaptation of the 1998 Japanese anime updates its female characters. And it’s better for it.In the anime, Julia is not much more than a figure from Spike’s past who haunts his memories — until she briefly appears in the final episodes. Besides the fact that she is somehow tied to Spike and Vicious’ rivalry, much of her story is a mystery.
Julia is much more present and her backstory more developed in the new “Cowboy Bebop,” which delves into the trio’s history in its penultimate episode to help explain the root of Spike and Vicious’ intense animosity. It’s this history that drives Julia’s actions leading up to and throughout the finale.The live-action finale is inspired by the anime’s fifth episode, “Ballad of Fallen Angels.
For Nemec, it was important that the live-action version of Faye be more than just a means to get to this fight. “One of the things that I knew very early on was that I wanted Faye to not show up to the cathedral as a victim,” said Nemec. “She’s had to be the hero of the day, which she is.”
