Netflix sets March 15 as launch date for ‘Love Death + Robots,’ 185 minutes of startlingly dynamic animation not for the viscerally challenged!
It’s advertised as: “Sentient Dairy Products, Rogue Werewolf Soldiers, Robots Gone Wild, Sexy Cyborgs, Alien Spiders and Blood-thirsty Demons From Hell Converge In An 185-minute Genre Orgy Of Stories!” And that’s just the title credits!
Netflix has announced the March 15 premiere date of its first ever animated adult anthology series, Love Death and Robots, 18 short stories hatched, spawned or otherwise horfed up for our conspicuous consumption from the twisted minds of creators Tim Miller (Deadpool, upcoming untitled Terminator sequel) and David Fincher (MINDHUNTER, Gone Girl, House of Cards).
The 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. With a bold approach to each story’s narrative, episodes are intended to be easy to watch and hard to forget.
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 1970's that influenced both Miller’s and Fincher’s formative interests in storytelling.
