The Victorian Netflix – Live Science

by
Magic Lanterns

Netflix didn’t exist during the Victorian era, of course, but people living during the 1800s and early 1900s had another way to binge-watch: the “magic lantern.” According to new research, these early projectors were much more common and accessible than previously thought. Magic lanterns — basically an early form of the slide projector — could show 3D and even moving images (much like today’s GIFs) to entertain a captive audience. But given the lanterns’ high price tag, modern historians long suspected that few but the wealthy could afford these projectors. But new research finds that middle-class families regularly rented these … Read more

Netflix has released the trailer for its reboot of Lost in Space, based on the 1960s TV series of the same name about a family of space colonists who veer off course and crash-land on an alien planet. The series has been reimagined twice before: once as a TV pilot in 2003 that never saw the air, and then as a much-maligned movie remake starring Matt LeBlanc of Friends fame. A middling success when it first aired, the original Lost in Space has become a cult classic in sci-fi communities, renowned for its campy ambition. Netflix’s reboot, however, looks to … Read more
