I think I would have had the Charlie Brown dark cloud over me, over the show, if I thought it was somebody else.ĭP: Yeah, if we didn’t have her, I know fans would be, “What is this? What are you trying to do?” I said, “Is she in?” and the answer was “Yes.” I don’t know how I would have felt if the answer was no. It wasn’t like I was threatening or anything, but that was the first question. Everything - every choice - is not the one a music supervisor would select, so she is really the soul of the show, in my opinion.Īnd she was important for you to agree to do the show, right? In a literal sense, scene to scene, her score tells you what the meaning of the scene is, and all her choices are unusual.
And I would argue that she, as much as anyone, defines what the show is. I was told she didn’t decide to come until a couple of days prior, but she’s definitely idiosyncratic. It was a big deal.Īnd she’s only here for two days, just for this! She came out of nowhere and was like, “Hi, I came here from Japan.” I was like, “What?” I was starstruck. Did you get to meet her?ĭP: Yeah, it was like meeting a unicorn. Yoko Kanno, the music composer, was also there. What was it like to watch Cowboy Bebop on the big screen at the premiere?ĭaniella Pineda: It’s been a really, really long journey, so to finally have it out and celebrate all the hard work, it sort of felt like it was never going to happen.

Each of the actors picked a clip that offers a taste of the Cowboy Bebop world they inhabited. “We’ll begin crafting a story that lives in the canon but expands the canon - for better or worse.”Ī couple days later, the three principal actors of the good ship Bebop - Cho as the laconic, puffy-haired Spike Spiegel Mustafa Shakir as metal-armed dad of the crew Jet Black and Daniella Pineda as the spiky, punky Faye Valentine - joined us at Vulture Festival to give the audience a spoiler-free sneak peek at the show, which premieres on Netflix today. “My mantra was always, we’re not remaking Cowboy Bebop we are going to live in the spirit of Cowboy Bebop,” Nemec says. But now, through an ongoing global pandemic and a knee injury that took out leading man John Cho, they had done it: ten episodes of a neo-noir space Western set to a score by Yoko Kanno. After all, others had tried and failed to make an English-language, human-actor version of the beautifully strange and elegiac anime.
