Jodie Foster is directing an episode this season
U.S.S.
Callister has a more epic scale thanBlack Mirrorviewers may be accustomed to.
The privilege of doing an anthology is you have that range.
So you could do big space stories, and small indie stories, Jones said.
And Id read someone online complaining that with the show going to Netflix it will be Americanized.
So I was like, alright, fk you, California, here we go.
There was a meeting where I had to pitch that to the channel.
That was an interesting afternoon, Brooker said.
So I also suggested a frozen supermarket chicken, but eventually, we went back to pig.
Brooker responded that he instead has a slightly different problem.
What happens more is Im just immediately alerted to any horrible development in the world, Brooker said.
People just email or flag or tweet me going, This is quiteBlack Mirror-esque!
Look at this horrible thing!
So I cant escape the world.
The fourth season ofBlack Mirroris expected to arrive on Netflix later this year.
