Michael Bay and Benedict Cumberbatch are set to face the ill-informed interview style of Philomena Cunk, the beloved TV idiot played by Diane Morgan, in the comedy creation’s latest outing. According to the description, “Cunk on Cinema” will uncover the invention of the camera, to the New Wave filmmakers of the 60s, right up to the entrance of CGI and what the future of AI holds. Cunk will attempt to “demystify it all while sitting in lumpy seats with stale popcorn, asking herself where did cinema come from?
And why can’t it tell us?” Alongside Bay and Cumberbatch, others to be quizzed by the ever-confused Cunk will include composer Daniel Pemberton (“Project Hail Mary”), screenwriter Steven E. de Souza (“Die Hard,” “Commando”), Oscar-nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey (“Avengers Assemble,” “Atonement”), critic Mark Kermode, and documentary-maker and author Mark Cousins (“The Story of Film: An Odyssey”). The director is Al Campbell. Executive producers are Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, Morgan, and Sam Ward.
Navi Lamba is the BBC commissioning editor and Mark Kinsella is co-executive producer for Pacesetter Productions.
