‘Mickey 17’ is Bong Joon Ho’s first feature film since his 2019 smash hit ‘Parasite’, which not only became the highest-grossing Korean film of all time but also made history as the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Bong, who writes and directs the film, is also producing the movie under his company, Offscreen, alongside producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B and Dooho Choi of Kate Street Pictures.
The film draws inspiration from Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel, which was a cerebral thriller in the style of ‘The Martian’ and ‘Dark Matter’. In ‘Mickey 17’, Robert Pattinson plays the lead role of an “expendable,” a disposable worker part of a human mission to colonize an ice planet. When they send his replacement to take his place, he refuses to step aside, sparking a high-stakes struggle for survival.
The film’s impressive ensemble cast also features Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, making it one of the most exciting sci-fi projects in the coming years.
Fans will have to wait a little longer to see the film, but the release date shift ensures a broader viewing experience, especially with the addition of IMAX screenings.
