‘Black Mirror’ Actress In Talks To Star In ‘The Grudge’ Reboot

The 2004 U.S. version of The Grudge was a hit with genre fans and went on to spawn two sequels, but Hollywood isn’t finished with the franchise yet. We’re getting a reboot.

“Black Mirror” has proven itself time and again to have some of the best writing in television. “Twilight Zone” with a technological twist, the series has never shied away from the darker side of sic-fi. Episodes like “White Christmas” and “Shut Up And Dance” have told stories more horrifying than just about anything else you’ll be likely to see on the boob tube.

Netflix Continuing The Series ‘Black Mirror’

Netflix is expanding their original content. ‘Black Mirror’ is one of their new projects. The series originally premiered in the UK back in 2011. Now Netflix is picking up where the show left off. The new eleven episode original series will be produced by House of Tomorrow. Charlie Brooker, of House of Tomorrow, is writing the script. Brooker had this to say: “It’s very exciting – a whole bunch of Black Mirror episodes on the most fitting platform imaginable. Netflix connects us with a global audience so that we can create bigger, stranger, more international and diverse stories than before, while maintaining that ‘Black Mirror’feel. I just hope none of these new story ideas come true.” ‘Black Mirror’ reveals the dark side of life and technology. The series has a modern ‘Twilight’ zone type feel. The international premier date has not been announced. Trailer for the original series
