Black Mirror film idea (with story ideas)


I have the idea of turning the TV series into a big screen adaptation. What i have here are some ideas for the stories that are in the film.

#1: The Entire History of You (based on the episode of the same name but with a different setting}. Plot: In the future, thanks to "the Grain", a chip which can be implanted on a hard drive in the brain, every single action that a person makes is recorded and may be played back. An idealistic lawyer, married with two children, suspects that his wife is having a fling with a brash neighbor, whom they met at a dinner party.

#2: Nosediver (the sequel to Nosedive). Plot: After her release from prison since her meltdown over her failed rating, Lacie Pound is free to continue rating without anyone rating her back down again. When she rates down a school bully who she witnesses beating up a young girl, she is targeted by the boy's abusive father. Without the police of any other help, she has only one option: rate him down.

#3: The Hyde Effect (based on Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde). Plot: A female scientist working at Oxford University hopes to understand the difference between good and evil by making a serum that she hopes will work. The experiment backfires when the formula creates an sinister personality within her in the form of a psychopathic prostitute.

#4: Your Pylon or Your Life (Like Synecdoche, New York but with the likes of uSwitch). Plot: A former engineer begins work with the help of his family to create a homemade electricity pylon despite threats from many corrupt electric companies who try to have the engineer and his family killed.

#5: Welcome to the Game (based on the online video game of the same name). Plot: A professional hacker works to locate the infamous "Deep Web" that was shut down back in 2012. But begins to gain paranoia when he suspects someone or "somebody" is in his house.

#6: Undisputed MOTS (Master of the Seas). Plot: What if the villains from Ice Age: Continental Drift forced you to commit a crime that would shock a nation? That's the question for a young 15-year-old programmer who uses a special gadget that allows him to contact people from different time periods and have conversations with them. When the programmer receives a floppy disc that has a "warning" not to put it on any computer, he ignores it and inserts the disc into the drive that sends him on a surrealist spiral into hallucinogenic madness that ends in the unthinkable.

No offense but this is trolling right?

I worry about that every day.

If you must blink, do it now.

reply

What I said about the "crime" is that they'll force you to assassinate the Prime Minister or the President.

I have at least four ideas that could operate perfectly well as Black Mirror episodes. I sure wouldn't share them here...
