Netflix has released a trailer for director Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s (Amelie) sci-fi comedy Bigbug which follows four suburbanites as they find themselves taken hostage by their well-intentioned domestic robots in order to keep them safe from an uprising led by the latest generation of androids; watch it here…
In 2050, artificial intelligence is everywhere. So much so that humanity relies on it to satisfy its every need and every desire – even the most secret and wicked…
In a quiet residential area, four domestic robots suddenly decide to take their masters hostage in their own home. Locked together, a not-quite-so-blended family, an intrusive neighbour and her enterprising sex-robot are now forced to put up with each other in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere! While, outside, the Yonyx, the latest generation of androids, are trying to take over. As the threat draws closer, the humans look elsewhere, get jealous, and rip into each other under the bewildered eyes of their indoor robots.
Maybe it’s the robots who’ve got a soul – or not!
Bigbug arrives on Netflix on February 11th.
