Dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, string-puppet rock stars, it can only be LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS.
The fourth volume, presented by Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) and David Fincher (Mindhunter, The Killer), sees Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2, Kill Team Kill) return as supervising director for ten startling shorts showcasing the series’ signature, award-winning style of bleeding-edge animation, horror, sci-fi and humor. Buckle up.
Among the 10 shorts included in Volume 4 is an episode directed by David Fincher. The second short he has directed after Bad Travelling (Vol. 3) is titled Can’t Stop, and it is a throwback to his early work as a music video director. “A unique take on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ legendary 2003 performance at Slane Castle, Ireland,” it features the band members as marionette puppets, with animation by Blur Studio.
Other shorts in this Volume directed by returning directors include Spider Rose by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, set in the fantastic cyberpunk universe of Swarm (Vol. 3). Oscar-winning Patrick Osborne directs two episodes: The Other Large Thing, about a cat plotting world domination, and Smart Appliances, Stupid Owners, about household tech that revolts. Tim Miller directs another two episodes: Golgotha, “a rare live-action entry” about “dolphin Jesus”, and The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur, set in an outer space gladiatorial arena where combatants ride genetically modified dinosaurs. And Robert Valley directs 400 Boys, about a post-apocalyptic city where warring gangs follow a bushido-like code of honor.
Dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, string-puppet rock stars, it can only be Love, Death & Robots.

“If you look at when we traditionally released the show, you might have some clues as to when. But, yeah, we’re working on it and it’s going to be awesome. There are some big surprises there.”
Rain drenches an anonymous street in Los Angeles, which is standing in for an anonymous city that won’t be named. Two A-list actors, playing polar opposite detectives assigned to a frightening and ominous case, stand around and wait for their turn to step on set, where they’re poised to discover the next atrocity left for them by a mysterious serial killer named John Doe.
But in this specific moment, director David Fincher is just trying to figure out how to get the body of character actor Michael Reid McKay, transformed into the victim we’ll come to know as Sloth, onto the set without disrupting the man’s intricate makeup job.
That’s just one of many unexpected challenges facing David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network, Zodiac) as he labored on SE7EN, the mesmerizing dark-noir thriller that cast Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as cops tracking a killer whose victims are modeled after the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s an ingenious hook, designed by screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. But it was Fincher’s meticulous execution of the crimes that burrowed under the skin of moviegoers back in 1995, and helped make SE7EN an unforgettable achievement that earned its place in the pop-culture pantheon of contemporary masterpieces.
I’m not sure Fincher knew he was creating a masterpiece at the time of filming. The former music-video director was coming off of a disastrous shoot with Alien 3, was focused on establishing himself and his own voice, and had to deal with a difficult schedule attached to one of his leading men. (More on that in a second). And then, there was this damn Sloth body… the one that wakes up mid-investigation, and scares the daylights out of John C. McGinley (Scrubs).
Speaking with CinemaBlend on behalf of a 30th anniversary 4K UHD release of SE7EN (which arrives on January 7), Fincher started reminiscing about that particular Deadly Sin.
