]]>In case your memory needs a little jogging, “Bandersnatch” is Black Mirror’s interactive choose-your-own-adventure episode. Netflix users are able to choose what decisions the protagonist makes, leading to a different ending each time.
Poulter plays the game designer, Colin. Like his character in Bandersnatch, Poulter has a love of interactive video games and is about to release his brand new game, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope.
Speaking with NME, Poulter revealed that he would love to reprise his role as Colin. He then shared an idea he has had about how a Bandersnatch sequel would work.
“I would love to reprise my character,” Poulter said. “[Charlie Brooker, Annabel Jones and I] were discussing how much people engage with Easter eggs, and how the different episodes might be linked in some way. We did suggest that Colin might have the ability to time travel…”
“I would love it if [Colin] showed up in full-on, ’80s regalia,” he continued. “But he was, in fact, in the present day, or somewhere in the future. That would be really fun.”
You can watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch on Netflix now.

]]>In spite of Bandersnatch‘s success, Charlie Brooker has revealed that he won’t be releasing any more interactive Black Mirror episodes.
“Run away. It’s harder than you think,” Brooker confessed to The New York Times. “We’re doing more optimistic episodes and stories, rather than just dystopian and negative ones. We want to keep the show interesting for us.”
That said, the success of Bandersnatch may have inspired others to play with the idea of interactive entertainment. Netflix director of product innovation, Carla Engelbrecht: “We do want to take a number of gos at this and see what works for different audiences.
“That’s what we’re engaged in now – what are the other kinds of stories that we can tell and that folks are excited to tell?” she continued. “And continuing to unearth this iceberg of opportunity and see what’s there.”

]]>The film stars Dunkirk’s Fionn Whitehead, Will Poulter from the Maze Runner and Asim Chaudhry from People Just Do Nothing.
In the trailer, Whitehead’s character (Stefan) heads to a computer games startup owned by Chaudhry. He tells a new employee: “We are gonna be a hit factory, like Motown but for computer games.” He then comes up with an idea to develop a game based on Bandersnatch, a book whose writer became made and cut off his wife’s head.
There are reports the film will have multiple storyline options so that fans can choose the ending of their dreams. The film was created by Charlie Brooker, the same director who produced the Black Mirror Series.
Watch the trailer below.

]]>Typically, Brooker has not made things easy for us and has left us with something of a puzzle when it comes to what exactly it is we will be received on release date December 28. According to Netflix, what we will be receiving is not “Black Mirror: Season 5” but “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.” In other words, we’ll be getting a 90-minute long movie instead of the whole season.
Netflix has described the film as “mind-bending, offbeat, cerebral and dark.” It is categorized not with the other Black Mirror episodes, but as a film in its own right. Beneath the title of the feature is the caption “Be Right Back” which also happens to be the title of the popular season two episode when Martha brings her boyfriend back from the dead in technological form. Could this be the sequel we’ve been hoping for?
Whatever form “Bandersnatch” takes, we won’t be alone in those tuning in on December 28 to find out.
