10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg is bringing his masterful ability to create tension to Netflix’s “Black Mirror” reboot, Deadline reports.
He joins an increasingly high profile list of directors and filmmaking talent that includes Joe Wright and Jakob Verbruggen.
Created and written by Brooker, “Black Mirror” taps into our collective unease with the modern world and each stand-alone episode is a suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia. The series, which premiered on Channel 4 in 2011 and aired for two seasons, has received an international Emmy Award, a Peabody Award, a Rose D’Or and been nominated for a BAFTA.
Netflix is assembling a top class talent pool for the new series. Deadline previously broke the news that Bryce Dallas Howard, Malachi Kirby and Alice Eve were set to star in episodes of the new series.
