Netflix Offering Virtual Screening of Volume 3

A few nights ago, Netflix partnered up with Alamo Drafthouse for a special screening of the Emmy Award-winning animated anthology series, Love, Death + Robots, in a number of cities around the United States. Since many people couldn’t get tickets due to the event being sold out, or not living near an Alamo Drafthouse, Netflix has set up a virtual screening so fans that couldn’t attend can watch the event and post-screening Q&A.

The virtual screening will be on Monday, May 16th at 7:00pm PT / 10:00pm ET, and it’ll be exactly what they showed at the Alamo Drafthouse, which is the best of the series’ first two seasons, as well as a few episodes from the upcoming third season. Unlike the people that attended the Alamo event who walked in not knowing what they would watch, I can reveal if you attend the virtual event, you’ll see the David Fincher helmed Bad Travelling, which was written by Se7en screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. In addition, you’ll be able to watch Alberto Mielgo’s Jibaro, which is another incredible episode arriving in Volume 3.

If you’re a fan of Love, Death + Robots and want to see some of the new episodes before they drop May 20th, you should click this link and register asap since the event has limited space.

In addition, following the screening, you’ll be able to watch the Q&A I moderated with executive producer David Fincher, executive producer Tim Miller and supervising director Jennifer Yuh Nelson. During the post-screening Q&A they discussed where the idea came from, Fincher’s history with animation, how they decide which stories get told, if they’ve thought about turning any of the episodes into a feature, which episodes have gone through big changes, working with Netflix, and a lot more. It was a fun night and I learned a lot about the series.
