Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed at the moment that Snowpiercer and The Host writer-director Bong Joon-ho is presently taking pictures his follow-up to his Best Picture-winning 2019 class satire Parasite. The movie, a science fiction story referred to as Mickey 17, will star Robert Pattinson in the title function. No abstract of the movie’s plot was instantly out there, however Warner Bros. reviews that Bong wrote the script as an adaptation of the 2022 e-book Mickey 7, by Edward Ashton. Marvel Cinematic Universe star Mark Ruffalo will co-star, alongside Nope’s Steven Yeun, Hereditary star Toni Collette, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s Naomi Ackie.
Mickey 7 facilities on a cloned employee, referred to as an “Expendable,” who turns into conscious by way of a number of iterations of his life that he’s being despatched on a collection of extremely harmful missions as a result of he’s simply replaceable. After one in all these missions, he returns to find that his substitute, Mickey 8, has already reported for obligation. It’s a situation which will instantly convey earlier motion pictures to thoughts for sci-fi followers — Duncan Jones’ Moon and Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion each function “disposable” house staff studying disagreeable truths about their mission and their scenario.
Bong is more likely to have his personal robust spin on this materials, given his behavior of placing his personal life and work into motion pictures like Parasite. (Look, he’s already added 10 whole-ass Mickeys to the equation.) Ashton’s situation appears notably nicely suited to a writer-director who’s constantly made motion pictures about class and revenue inequity, society’s decrease lessons and outcasts, and the wrestle to seek out justice and recognition in an imbalanced society. The thought of a employee created to serve extra privileged folks, and die for them in the method, appears proper up his alley. We’ll have to attend greater than a 12 months to see what his model of the story appears to be like like, although. Mickey 17 is slated for worldwide launch on March 29, 2024.
