Cube and
Splice director Vincenzo Natali wants to give you a Halloween treat. Natali has been one of the driving forces behind
Darknet - a sort of hybrid television and web series - and the first episode of the series (directed by Natali himself) is now available online for free viewing.
The prototype season of Darknet consists of six episodes that weave
together bite-sized servings of urban horror. These episodes will
appear exclusively in Canada on Super Channel, and segments will be made
available to fans at the Super Channel and Darknet websites. Darknet
offers snippets of people's lives being interrupted by vivid instances
of unexpected violence or shocking strangeness. Shot in a visceral
style that cranks up the creep factor, viewers become part of the
Darknet, a mysterious closed network of disturbing imagery and stories
that exist just under the surface of our ordered and safe society.
Darknet
is directed by Natali, Hoban (making his directorial debut), Brett
Sullivan (Orphan Black, Gingersnaps 2: Unleashed), Rodrigo Gudiño (The
Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh) and newcomers Anthony Scott
Burns and Jeremy Ball. The writers are Natali, Pascal Trottier, Doug
Taylor (Splice), James Kee, Randall Cole (388 Arletta Ave) and Sarah
Larsen. Darknet is executive produced by Vincenzo Natali and Steven
Hoban, producers are Jensenne Roculan, Mark Smith (Haunter, 388 Arletta
Ave), Paul Rapovski (Lost Girl) and supervising producer Kana Koido.
