‘Black Mirror could just run and run’

It has only been a few years that Netflix Show’s latest series by Charlie Brooker landed. But we now live in an unpredictable world and many things can happen in a short period of time.

Renowned for its often wise and disturbing sockets of humanity and our relationship with technology, Black Mirror is back for a seventh series at a time when the rate of change in politics and technology has left many of us – including legislators – which fight to follow.

In 2011, when the first episode was broadcast, Siri was the new kid on the block and the iPhone 4S had just been launched. Now we have joined WhatsApp and we are on the Apple Watch series.

Since then, Black Mirror has taken us scary memory devices, telephone implants and robotic bees to the actors who have become wolves. And everything else.

Brooker is in a dynamic mood because, he told the BBC that there seems to be little danger that it was missing from ideas anytime soon, when asked if Black Mirror could continue forever.

“Hopefully (it will work and run). Sample, it’s a fun job,” he said. “Technology is developing very quickly in the real world.

“This means that there are more sources of inspiration, and … The spectator knows more (technological) things in their daily life.

“We can do stories that I would not have thought of 10 years ago, and you don’t need to explain some of the concepts to people because they had it on their phone.”

Actor Crown and Deadpool & Wolverine Emma Corrin, who plays in one of the episodes of this season, adds: “It is much closer to his home. People have access to things like AI, which is terrifying, so he is more confronted and serves a best warning.”

Pleasant Brooker: “So you say it should continue forever?”

“Yes, it should last forever,” says Corrin.

Brooker adds: “I’m going to discover when it stops if I drop or people stop watching.”

Corrin appears in an episode entitled Hotel Reverie, alongside Issa Rae. The two both play the A-Listers appearing in a remake of a vintage Hollywood classic. With a twist, of course.

Corrin plays Screen Siren Dorothy Chambers and reflects: “I really liked playing in a film star from the 1940s.

“I just like the voice and the manners and the way they stand, and the style of action is so ridiculous, larger than life and language in the cheek, and yet wrapped at the same time.”

Without giving too much, ai – The subject of many debates in the creative industries – stands up in the scenario.

Corrin says that they do not “feel” of his potential impact on their profession.

“Obviously, I think it’s scary, but it’s also a massive conversation, right? There are aspects that are terrifying for me as an artist. I love the creative process. I love this art to be in a room with people and things from the depth of human experience or someone’s imagination. And I really don’t think we will lose that, or I hope that no.

“And I think there are also aspects of AI, I probably don’t understand, and this could be used as good tools. It is everyone who can understand and use them correctly, and that they are in good hands.”

Brooker is suitable: “Rightly, when Andy Serkis played Gollum (in the Lord of the Rings trilogy), everyone is amazed by this, but what you are amazed is the human, you see a brilliant human performance.

“I can completely see the value of AI as a tool for creative people. The moment when he worries me is if you remove people a little from this equation, or if you have simply hoist their work and regurgitate it, and that they are not paid.”

Brooker also returns to another favorite technological theme, which he used as a starting point for several Black Mirror episodes during the previous six series. The world of game.

Remember the interactive film Black Mirror Black Mirror Bandersnatch, where Asim Chaudhry and Will Poulter played a boss of the game company and a genius developer? The couple is now resuming their roles in the 2018 film in a new episode in the seven series entitled Playphing.

Scottish actor Lewis Gibben, who will soon play in the highly anticipated television series Blade Runner 2099, plays the journalist of the games of the 1990s and lonely Loner Cameron, who becomes obsessed with a particular game with small pixel creatures. (Brooker himself was a game journalist at the time).

The former doctor who Peter Capaldi also turns into a brilliantly disturbing performance as older Cameron.

Although a big fan of Black Mirror, Gribben had not seen Bandersnch, but says that the arrival of the Fresh game in fact helped his performance.

“I think it made me easier … But I was just intimidated. I was like” Oh my God, it’s Poulter that I looked at since I was seven years old by acting in Rambow’s son. And Asim Chowdhury people do nothing! “”

Gribben tells the BBC that he is a bit a player himself but himself has more handle than his black mirror character.

“I play the shadows of belief of the new assassin per minute,” he said. “When you have a day off … I can spend 10 solid hours (above). But I like to think that most people are playing in moderation or just game sessions. It’s more like relaxation.”

Josh Finan, who played in Baby Rendeur, the answering machine and recently played Gerry Adams in Say Nothing, plays a knowledge of Cameron who becomes involuntarily involved in the sense of the distorted reality of his companion.

The pair will play both in the long -awaited the Amazon series, Blade Runner 2099. Should fall later this year, the action takes place 50 years after the Blade Runner 2049 of 2017, a film which also analyzes the relationship between humans and AI.

Finan is not too worried about being replaced by robots.

“I am very optimistic. I don’t think the actors go anywhere. Maybe I’m naive (but) I don’t think there is a danger to be replaced. What we are doing is too special.”

Black Mirror Series Seven can be seen on Netflix from Thursday, April 10.
