6 Bong Joon-ho Goes To Space
AND HE’S TAKING ROBERT PATTINSON WITH HIM
MICKEY 17
OUT 29 MARCH
BONG JOON-HO’S unpredictable masterpiece Parasite defied genres and defied the odds. So after winning the Best Picture Oscar with it in 2020, where does the director go next? Well, Mickey 17. The film is an adaptation of Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey7 — where the extra ten Mickeys have come from, we’re not sure yet — but in the original story, the character is an ‘Expendable’, a disposable clone sent to help the humans of the future colonise new worlds. When one Mickey dies, a new version is created, with most of his memories intact.
