“It is how for my money Love, death + robot Should be everything. Everything you can't find out where else it works ”, legendary filmmaker David Fincher Netflix (mostly) animated animated anthology series. It is considered a description like any other for the ambitious, experimental and genre bending project, which is now starting its fourth season.

“Creativity appears on the side” SevenPresent Combat clubPresent The social networkPresent Gone girlAnd Zodiac. Talk on stage Love, death + robot Season premiere in the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, accompanied by Executive Producer Tim Miller ((Dead Pool) and monitoring of the producer Jennifer Yuh Nelson ((Kung fu panda 2 & 3). “It always does and it always takes someone – it has to be out there – to inform where the industry will go. So we will just be out there.”

“Out there” also describes Fincher's contribution to the new season as a director. After starting his career as a sought-after music video director for top artists in the 80s and 90s-a single MadonnaPresent Michael JacksonThe Rolling stonesPresent StabPresent George MichaelPresent AerosmithPresent Nine inch nailsAnd Paula Abdul – Fincher returned to these roots to go to the helmet “Can't stop.” The dynamic, completely CGI-animated short features of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Presentation of her 2002 hits in a Scottish castle – as a puppet on strings.

“We had never done a music video before,” said Miller in front of the panel to Gold Derby on the red carpet and found that he recruited his long -standing employee “because he was David Fincher and invented music videos.”

“He said he wouldn't do one this season, and I just thought: 'Age, you have to!',” Added Miller, describing how he twisted Fincher's arm to face the challenge. “Because it is a fixed time and he can no longer do it, it will contain it in the box. And he said:” Ok, then I will do the Red Hot Chili as dolls! “Strangely enough, he was not surprised for a long time when I heard it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Bassist flea Said Gold Derby that Fincher “just called-and we are friends-and he was very generous with him to do it. And obviously he can do everything he wants to work with us, it's just a super cool, networked thing. We just did it!”

During the post-screening panel on stage, moderated by the filmmaker and animated enthusiast Guillermo del Toro (Anyone who promised to lead an episode if hope for the fifth season) revealed Fincher one of the most important joys of working with motion capture Anthony Kiedisguitarist John Frusciantedrummer Chad Smithand flea.

“I love that when you have a motion capture [character] – I love the fact that you can go 'This is flea!' “, Said Fincher.

“If someone was in a motion capture phase, it is not a pretty place,” added Miller. “You really have people in ugly loyalty and in fluorescent lighting.” In view of the well -known taste of Fincher for beautifully composed, striking pictures “David could not look at the monitors of these filmed people. He just couldn't! It was so aesthetically unattractive that he could not get himself to look at, and everything he could see was the computer monitor with small points that represented people.”

Taking great creative swings is the core of what Love, death + robot It's all about, explained Fincher on the panel. It remains amazed at the range of stories and concepts, Miller-a enthusiastic fan of science fiction writing and the entire spectrum of animation techniques-curates every season, with Yuh Nelson monitoring conceptual approaches that range from traditionally to avant-garde.

This ambition is enabled by Netflix's unshakable support for the series, regardless of how bizarre, blunt or the heads could initially sound the concepts.

“We have a benefactor who is absolutely a thousand percent after taking this kind of risks,” said Fincher. “We don't convince anyone. We are hardly ready before it has to be shown here. To have the support we have – I don't know. If we would bring it somewhere else, it wouldn't happen.”
