Black Mirror was inspired by older anthology shows like The Twilight Zone.
BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sits with Jodie Foster and Rosemarie DeWitt to talk about Netflix’s anthology series Black Mirror.
In the interview, the duo discuss the dangers of modern technology, pulling on their mom skills, and what it was like having Foster direct an episode! Foster directed the fourth episode titled “Arkangel”.
Black Mirror synopsis:
Featuring stand-alone dramas — sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia — “Black Mirror” is a contemporary reworking of “The Twilight Zone” with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world. Each story features its own cast of unique characters, including stars like Bryce Dallas Howard (“The Help”), Alice Eve, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Cullen and Jerome Flynn (“Game of Thrones”). Joe Wright, Dan Trachtenberg, and James Watkins are among the featured directors.
