David Fincher's newest project might just be one you didn't see coming - mainly because it involves puppets...and the band who sings Californication.
The project in question is an animated musical short for season 4 of the Netflix sci-fi anthology Love, Death, and Robots. The short is a recreation of the 2003 Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at Slane Castle in Ireland...with string-puppets. You can watch the trailer below.
Love, Death, and Robots first hit Netflix in 2019, and was initially conceived as a re-imagining of Fincher and creator Tim Miller's long-delayed reboot of the 1981 animated sci-fi movie Heavy Metal. The project was in development hell for some 11 years, reportedly due to the creative differences between both the crew and the studios (H/T IGN).
Netflix agreed to pick up the project, but only on the condition that the project was a series rather than feature-length film. Fincher previously directed the episode "Bad Traveling," for season 3 of the series, which starred Troy Baker as the captain of a shark-hunting ship under attack by a man-eating crusteacean.
Love, Death, and Robots vol. 4 is set to hit Netflix on May 15. For more, check out our list of the best Netflix shows, or, the best Netflix movies to stream right now.
