After hitting the world parasite, bong joon ho is ready to once again attract the attention of the film industry with his new film. Mickey 17, as they called the film, is one of Warner Bros.’s biggest bets. for the near future. After numerous rumors, the producer finally confirmed that Mickey 17 will be released March 29, 2024; If there are no unexpected obstacles along the way…
What is it about Mickey 17? well it based on a science fiction novel Mickey7written by Edward Ashton and whose release is scheduled for February 2023. Obviously, Bong Joon Ho had access to a literary work before other mortals, which allowed him to create an adapted script.
“Mickey7 is a consumable item: a one-time member of a human expedition sent to colonize the frozen world of Niflheim. Whenever a mission that is too dangerous, even suicidal, comes up, the crew turns to Mickey. After an iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of its memories intact,” the description of the book begins.
The most interesting thing occurs when, in a seemingly routine activity, the main character disappears and is left to die. But no one expected this iteration of Mickey – the seventh, hence the name – to survive. Returning to his colony, he discovers that a new clone has taken his place.
Thus, Mickey7 is faced with a difficult situation, as the existence of duplicate Expendables is universally denied. When this happens, the clone is processed “into proteins to feed the starving colony.”
The storytelling is certainly promising, especially for sci-fi fans. Warner Bros. signed a contract not only with Robert Pattinson, who will be Mickey, but also with Steven Yeun (Minari), Naomi Aki (Star Wars: Skywalker. Sunrise), Toni Collette (hereditary) D Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Endgame).
Mickey 17 will be directed, written and produced by Bong Joon Ho., so most of the project falls on his shoulders. In fact, there have been rumors in the past that the South Korean will have full creative freedom to change the plot of the novel if he sees fit. The fact that Mickey’s iteration number is different might be strong evidence for this.
It is important to note that Mickey 17 still in production. Given what has happened to other major films in recent years, it’s best to take the date with a grain of salt. The reality is that the film industry’s calendar is subject to a variety of factors that can change companies’ plans without prior notice.
Warner is also undergoing some significant changes. Luckily, the novelty from the famous Bong Joon Ho did not pay attention to all these movements. You can see that Warner has full confidence in the South Korean director and, of course, Robert Pattinson’s interpretation. The duo was announced earlier this year, and now we’re seeing the first fruits of their long-awaited collaboration.
