We were these ragtag con women," Daniella said. I loved loved loved working with her we both had so much fun. The woman who played 'my mother,' Christine Dunford, was an absolute delight. In fact, Daniella's favorite episode to film involved a totally new storyline for Faye. You hear her mother's voice, and it's like, 'Oh my god, somebody loved me.' There was a universe in a time where she was nurtured and cared for and someone loved her."īut even with similarities, don't expect her journey to be exactly the same when you watch it. But it's heartbreaking for Faye in that scene. "When we were shooting that scene, we played the audio from the original anime over the speakers on the set. There was one scene in particular that Daniella knew would be a big deal for Netflix Faye: the tape scene. What was the filming process like for Daniella? I chose to sort of tap into her wit and her punchiness. It was important for me to honor the anime, but it was also simultaneously important for me to try to make her my own in a live-action way. "And so it was sort of like trying to capitalize, expand and flush out one moment, that could be spawned over a series. She's a little bit like a raccoon," Daniella said. Like anytime Faye eats a bowl of anything, it's always rushed and sloppy and gets all over her face. "We took moments of the enemy and expanded upon them. In a sense, I'm not gonna say it was easier, but more fun to play off someone who is almost terrible."ĭaniella also referred back to the anime for pieces of Faye to bring into the new series. "And on top of that, she's impulsive, which comes from a place of survival, because she needs to get what she wants, then continue on living. She's experiencing everything for the first time," Daniella continued. Of all the characters, I feel like she is the most in the moment. "She doesn't have a path to be played from. With no family or friends coming to claim her or tell her who she is, Faye starts to find her own way in this galactic wild west. Sort of like art imitating life imitating art."įaye's story remains largely the same as in the anime: She is a woman with no memory after waking up from cryogenic sleep.
For some reason, we all actually got closer in that episode. "Episode 5 is when we all start to come together. Eventually, when they all team up, it makes it so much more rewarding," Daniella told Cosmopolitan. That was a relationship that had to be earned over time. "I like the fact that they just weren't all instantly friends. Brash and ready to take down anyone who stands between her and her next payday, Faye is immediately at odds with the gang.
