Robert Pattinson to star in Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17
Warner Bros. has unveiled the trailer for Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17'. The sci-fi thriller, adapted from Edward Ashton's 2022 novel 'Mickey7,' features Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, an "expendable" worker.
In the novel, Mickey is tasked with perilous missions to help colonise an ice planet. When one version of Mickey dies, a new clone is generated, carrying most of his memories.
The cast also features Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
'Mickey 17' is Bong Joon Ho's first feature film since the huge success of his 2019 thriller 'Parasite,' which became the first foreign-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and also earned Oscars for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best International Feature.
