Why didn’t the Black Mirror use of Black Mirror

“Black Mirror” has recently arrived at Netflix, and he brought with him another group of twisted science fiction tales. Perhaps the most important of all, has finally presented a complement to the “USS Callster” of the fourth season, which has been waiting for many viewers for a long time to see it. This is definitely good news. But at one time, there was a talk about a complete cross series based on that episode. So, what happened? We finally have an answer.

I talked about the “USS Callister” series for the first time in 2018With the director in the episode, Toby Heinz, explaining that he had talks on this topic. However, there have been a few updates since then. In an interview with Hollywood ObserverHinz, who returned to direct the seventh season complement episode, “Uss Callister: in Linfinity”, presented some background on how to collect cross behind the scenes before it finally collapsed:

“I was talking about it as soon as I was finished. We have transferred a secret pilot, why don’t we go directly to a series? And he said: “Oh, as you know, people talked to me before about spinning about the episodes and I never wanted to do so. But I and Lose Soton, who produced this, continued to come out with ideas and anger Charlie.

“I think they first talked to me about doing a season of” Callister “again when I was doing” Andor “. This was the first time that it has become somewhat real. actually, Heinz was busy directing the “Star Wars” series for Disney+Which was itself a difficult function.

Although Booker resists a cross show, Heinz and Saton managed to persuade him that this was an idea of ​​a good idea. It also makes sense, given this “UsS Callister” has been cited as one of the best “black mirror” episodes so far. In his speech, Heinz explained that they talked more about the possibility when he returned to direct a major episode in the sixth season of the exhibition:

“There was always a conversation about doing this, and after I finished (with) and” Andor “, I went back to working with Charlie (to guide)” Demon 79. “It was a pleasure to work with him again on this wonderful scenario.Executive product for the seventh season) Jessica (Rhodes), who also put a missile. “

The first thing that was shown on the show is the Covd-19 in 2020, which greatly closed Hollywood for a better part of the year. Hinz also explained, It was for the year 2023 SAG and WGA Strikes That has completely killed the chances of happening at all:

“Suddenly, it seemed that it would be the next project, and that was dangerous. Then the actors’ strike (in 2023) – so everything had collapsed! We were literally about to start what was the“ Callister Series ”. “Then it became one movie.”

actually, “Black Mirror” includes a supplement in the form of “USS Callister: in Linfinity.” Fans might have to wait more than seven years to see him, but this finally happened. Whether it is worth waiting or not, it is a matter of personal opinion, but the episode sees that Christine Milioti Nanite occupies the lead position this time.

“This is when it became really exciting for me. One movie is a complement. It is not a series, and it is a kind that raises everything to the ideal coordination of the science fiction adventure,” Hinz added. “We can make our own, I would like to say, the iconic science trilogy in the” Black Mirror “world. What can be better? It is very exciting. If we do another one!

So, yes, although we did not get a full cross series, Haynes now hopes to convert “USS Callister” into a trilogy within the world of “Mirror”. It is recognized that Heinz has noble goals for the trilogy in general, until comparisons with “Star Wars: Empire” and “James Cameron” on the day of government “, some of the best sequences ever:

“This was our opportunity to do the“ empire ”,“ foreigners ”or even“ terminator 2. ”If we would return, how can we send a lot?

To this writing, a third insertion has not been confirmed in the “USS Callister” series. However, “Black Mirror” is still successful for Netflix, so it does not seem unlikely. Let’s just hope it does not take seven or eight years.

“Black Mirror” is now flowing on Netflix.
