The seventh season of “Black Mirror” I just came across Netflix on April 10, and he included something new for the anthology television series by Charlie Brooker: a real following for a previous episode. “USS Callister” of 2017 was extremely popular when created in season 4, it is therefore logical that in season 7, we obtained “USS Callister: Into Infinity”, an episode feature film on this story. According to an interview with Weekly entertainmentHowever, Brooker has planned another “Black Mirror” story to get a suite first.

“I developed the script for a completely different suite of” bandersnatch “, which was going to be called` bandstruck ”, but I could never do it, “revealed Brooker, specifying that he would have written a sequel to the innovative interactive special of the show that was released in 2018. On the bus as well as to do it … a lot Heavier decisions all over the line. The point of sale followed and asked Brooker if he could share how a “bandersnatch” suite could go beyond the framework of the 1980s of the original and to what extent it would extend the world of this story. As you would expect, Brooker was tight on the details: “No. because I could always review this in one way or another, but it was a slightly different era.”

“I am agnostic about what it was going to be,” added Brooker. “I kicked a kind of idea that I could still see again.” Okay, so we could Get a real “bandersnatch” suite, but allow me to refresh your memory on what “Bandersnatch” (and how some of its history elements did Factor in season 7 of “Black Mirror”).

Let’s see again quickly “Bandersnch”, one of the few interactive specials released on Netflix This allows the spectator to be part of the story and to choose his own adventure as he progresses. When we meet Stefan, he is simply delighted to go to a meeting of the Tuckersoft software company and to meet the owner Mohan Thakur (Asim Chaudhry) and the star programmer of Colin Ritman (Will Poulter). Although Mohan wants Stefan to come to work on his game, also entitled “Bandersnch”, at Tuckersoft, the special encourages you directly to reject the offer and work on the game at Stefan, although Stefan inquire with Colin as things progress.

While the story continues, the spectator is presented with really as many possibilities. Maybe Stefan throws a cup of tea on his computer while arguing with his father Peter (Craig Parkinson), ruining his work … Although if you, as a spectator, choose this end, you are quickly redirected and encouraged to try something else. Without spoiling the full “bandersnch”, this special apparently has endless paths and choices TO DO Sometimes, converge on a coherent plot, but to see everything, get ready to play for a while. Here is a quick anecdote: I played “Bandersnatch” the day he went out with a friend of me, and we thought that trying him a little could not hurt. Eight hours later, we argue to murder one of the characters or not (and, at a subsequent moment, how We must assassinate said character).

Here is something interesting, however: Poulter’s Colin do Present yourself in season 7 of “Black Mirror”, just like Mohan. So, what does Charlie Brooker say that these characters reappear?

In a separate interview with Weekly entertainmentCharlie Brooker did Contact, in the episode of season 7 “Playyths”, we revisit Tuckersoft and see the two Mohan Thakur And Colin Ritman as they discuss a different game (“Thrunglets”) with a different person, a game critic named Cameron Walker (Lewis Gibben). Colin gives Cameron a copy of “Thrunglets”, which allows you to raise title creatures, and Colin stresses that beings are as real as any digital being can Be, configure a new digital dystopia distinct from “bandersnatch”. As Brooker said, this episode is the result of one of the many ends of “Bandersnch” where Colin survives (he does not survive them all, but again, I will let you go down this rabbit burrow if you have not already done so). So it’s not A direct suite of “bandersnatch”.

“We have implemented in another episode this season that there are parallel realities, and this is also implemented in ‘Bandersncy‘” Brooker said at the exit. “I knew I wanted Cameron to meet this programmer, but [I thought]Wait a minute, I created this character, Colin Ritman, played by Will Poulter in “Bandersnch”. I loved this character, and Mohan Thakur, Asim Chaudhry, who played his boss in the original “Bandersnch”, I will write the best version of this “.

Fortunately, Asim Chaudhry and Will Poulter were available: “I prayed and hoped that we could get Will and Asim to resume their roles. It came in this way.” Finally, Brooker said that everything was possible within the limits of this particular series. “What is said, in terms of multiverse ‘Black Mirror’ or what you want to call it, I will leave the spectator, because I think all the ends of ‘Bandersnch’ are as valid as the next,” concluded Brooker.
