Love, Death + Robots‘ Tim Miller reveals details about the episode that was written for Zack Snyder to direct and more at the Volume 4 premiere.
Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 delivers a fresh batch of ten jaw-dropping episodes. Creator Tim Miller is directing not one, but two shorts this season, something he spoke to us about at the red carpet premiere.
Golgotha, episode 6, is “essentially dolphin Jesus” he says before adding, “these aliens come to speak to their Messiah, who has been reborn in the body of a dead dolphin. And the dolphin does not have good things to say about his life on planet Earth.”
Screaming Of The Tyrannosaur Was Written For Zack Snyder
Tim Miller was not originally the director of episode 7, The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur, because he actually wrote it with Zack Snyder in mind. Miller expresses that Snyder really wants to direct an episode of Love, Death + Robots, so fingers crossed that happens should it get picked up for another season.
“I’d originally intended [it]for Zack Snyder, because he wanted to do one. And I’m like, Dude, I have the most heavy metal episode ever. It’s dinosaurs in space with genetically modified slaves.” Of course, Snyder was in at that description, but he couldn’t make his schedule work. “Then he got busy on Rebel Moon. Lazy bastard trying to do two movies, come on. You’re only doing two movies at one time,” Miller jokes.
It was Jennifer Yuh Nelson who told Miller that he had to do The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur himself, stating that she saw his eyes light up whenever he talked about it. That said, it was more challenging than he expected because the company that was animating it went out of business while they were working on it.
“We pulled it back into my company, Blur, to finish it. But it was pretty late in the game, and we had to really hustle. The Blur team did an amazing job. It’s so cool looking, but that was challenging,” Miller confesses.
Mr. Beast Joins Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 Family
If it isn’t obvious from looking at this photo, Mr. Beast is featured in The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur. Miller was excited to bring him onto the project, and to work with him.
“He’s a huge fan of the show, and he’s going to push it out there to all his hundreds of millions of fans,” Miller explains. “We need them to come and watch it so we can make more of them.“
Love, Death + Robots already has a massive fan base and has won several awards, so I cannot imagine Netflix not giving the go-ahead for another season. That said, Mr. Beast’s millions of fans watching the upcoming season can’t hurt. Plus, we need another season so that Zack Snyder can direct an episode. Who doesn’t want to see that collaboration? I know I do.
