Robert Pattinson’s previous area sci-fi film observed the actor taking part in a prisoner made to provide his sentence on a shuttle hurtling towards a black gap (between other human-legal rights offenses, such as actually messed-up sexual harassment). His subsequent place drama? Mickey 17, a Bong Joon Ho joint centered on the novel Mickey7, by Edward Ashton, which tells the story of an employee on an expedition to colonize an ice world — but he’s accomplishing it only for the check. He is cloned so he can continue the risky mission, and the variety 7 is a reference to how numerous occasions he dies. Bong — who wrote, directed, and developed the film — stated the title adjust through an interpreter at CinemaCon. “I killed him 10 extra occasions!” he reported, for each Assortment. The Oscar-profitable Parasite director stated that Pattinson was best for the part since “he’s bought this ridiculous factor in his eyes,” incorporating that he considered the actor had the creative imagination to engage in all the unique variations of the character. In the meantime, Pattinson — who identified as Bong his “hero” — reported he was told the component was “impossible” when he very first received the script, which fired up him.
A push tour has been a very long time coming for this Warner Bros. movie, which was initially set to strike theaters on March 29, 2024 and was afterwards delayed indefinitely. In accordance to Variety, the motion picture wanted extra time to finish immediately after the Hollywood strikes and other production shifts. It finally been given a launch date, and is now set to strike theaters on January 31, 2025.
Not a lot has been claimed about the script, but the initially glimpse at the film depicts a comatose Pattinson rising from slumber in what seems to be a cryogenic freezer in what seems like a tricked-out MRI equipment in a extended, sparse area. Steven Yeun (Minari), Naomi Ackie (I Wanna Dance With Any individual), Toni Collette (Hereditary), and Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk) round out the solid. If Bong’s previous films are something to go by, Mickey 17 is possible shaping up to be a different social thriller. We just hope it’ll thaw on timetable.
