popculturebrain:Alex Garland’s Stunningly Ambitious ‘Devs’ Will Only Be One Season, But the ‘Annihilation’ Director Hints at More [New York Comic-Con 2019]Like much of its lauded creator’s filmmography, Devs is cloaked in mystery. The eight-episode sci-fi series created, written, and directed by Alex Garland is still a big question mark, and it remains much of the same even after the FX show’s New York Comic-Con panel this Saturday.Garland writes and directs every episode of Devs, which bears the Ex Machina and Annihilation‘s surreal fingerprints all over it. And like his past two feature films, Garland’s TV series debut will explore puzzling questions about big concepts: in this case, determinism and the question of free will.“It’s a simple idea that nothing ever happens that is random or spontaneous,” Garland said at the Devs New York Comic-Con 2019 panel before launching into a not-so-simple explanation about the concept of determinism and quantum computers. “Similar to Ex Machina having to do with breakthroughs in AI, this has to do with breakthroughs in processing power [of quantum computers],” Garland said passionately to a confused audience at the Hammerstein Ballroom.“The series doesn’t get more clear, it only gets more mysterious,” Garland says. “I knew that it was going to be about determinism. But it’s also about how strange it is to be us in the world.”never change sir -- source link
