Netflix released the film’s trailer Thursday, and though it doesn’t reveal much, we’re hoping for a surprise when it starts streaming Friday.
Some might wonder why Netflix would do a “Black Mirror” film if it’s basically just going to be a long episode, but there are rumors it will be something special, like a choose-your-own-adventure story.
According to a translated description of a Korean Media Rating Board webpage, the film’s runtime is a whopping 312 minutes, or 5 hours, 12 minutes.
That’s obviously too long for a single movie, but if the time is divided into potential narratives for the viewer to select, the lengthy runtime would make perfect sense.
