Hugh Grant to Star in a Mockumentary Film About 2020 and the Creator of BLACK MIRROR Is Developing It
Hugh Grant has revealed that the next film project he’s going to star in is a mockumentary about the current hellish year, 2020. The project is being developed by Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, and it’s coming to Netflix.
During an interview with Vulture, he briefly discussed the film project, saying he will play a historian who is being interviewed about 2020.
“I’m doing a thing tomorrow, actually. Charlie Brooker [the creator of Black Mirror] has written a mockumentary about 2020. It’s for Netflix, and I am a historian who’s being interviewed about the year. I’m pretty repellent, actually! And you’ll like my wig.”
Brooker’s work with Black Mirror should give you an idea of what we can expect from this next film of his, and you can bet that it’s going to be a dark comedy that offers over-exaggerated commentary on the society in which we live, but then again, maybe it won’t be over-exaggerated. 2020 has been a pretty ridiculous year.
It’ll be interesting to see who else Brooker enlists to fill the cast. What do you think about Grant and Brooker teaming up for this project? What do you think will come of it?
