The New Trailer For David Fincher’s LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS Is Very NSFW
In January, we learned that David Fincher and Tim Miller had joined forces for a new Netflix animated series by the name of Love, Death & Robots, a sci-fi anthology series concerning - you guessed it - love, death, and robots. In February, we got our first trailer for the series, which was packed full of so much freaky imagery that it actually melted the eyeballs of one our interns. Now, just a little over a week away from the series' premiere at the SXSW Film Festival (and two weeks away from its arrival on Netflix), we've been gifted with a second trailer.
It is, uh, decidedly not safe for work.
If it wasn't already painfully obvious, Love, Death & Robots is an R-rated series, one aimed squarely at adults with a taste for science fiction, violence, sex and, yes, robots. Will an untold number of children stumble upon it while scanning through Netflix, and will the parents of those children be very mad about it when their child starts exhibiting an unsavory interest in robotics and/or extreme violence? Probably, but we don't have kids, so we're not terribly concerned about it at the moment. Use your parental controls, I dunno what to tell you.
Here's an official series synopsis:
"[Love, Death & Robots'] full roster of stories will cover a variety of adult topics including racism, government, war, free will, and human nature. The anthology collection spans the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres and each short has a unique animation style: from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI. The creators were assembled for a global calling for best in class animators from all over the world including artists from France, Korea, Hungary, Canada, and the US among others. The series draws inspiration from the eclectic and provocative comic book material from the 1970s that influenced both Miller’s and Fincher’s formative interests in storytelling."
We're into everything going on here and can't wait to see it for ourselves. Once again, Love, Death & Robots hits Netflix on March 15th. Mark your calendars (and keep your kids away from the remote).
