“Mickey 17” Theatrical Poster
Bong Joon-ho (Okja, The Host, The Snowpiercer) – the acclaimed South Korean director of the 2019 masterpiece Parasite – is going to space with Warner’s thriller, Mickey 17. The upcoming film is based on Edward Ashton’s novel, Mickey7 (spelled slightly differently with a “7”).
In the Mickey 17, an unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.
Mickey 17 stars Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker), Mark Ruffalo (Windtalkers), Toni Collette (Hereditary) and Steven Yeun (Burning).
Mickey 17 hits theaters on January 31, 2025. Be sure to check out the film’s New International Trailer, followed by the recent U.S. Trailer:
And another Asian director leaving his country to sell out to Hollywood. Pitiful but so predictable.
Yee haaa, how dare those Asian’s come out of Asia! They need to stay where they come from!

Wow Racist Redneck has sniffed way too much glue!
I think Bong Jing-hoo knows whats he’s doing and if he;s gonna do something in Hollywood it’s going to be on his terms, but then again REDNECK, you do know Snowpiercer was based on a French Graphic Novel, im guessing by your way of thinking he shouldn’t have been allowed to read that as he’s an Asian and Asian’s should stay where they come from…>
If you’re gonna start being this ‘pure’ then maybe you need ti impose an ethnicity card when you want to watch movies, oh i’m sorry you’re not of the right ethnicity deemed suitable as the correct audience
Should be give back his Academy Awards because you don’t approve and feel he’s selling out?
The original comment seems to be a mixture of gatekeeping and also Asians should stay in their own lane. While I’m not sure if his cousin is also his wife, I wouldn’t be surprised
Yeah, I didn’t appreciate the implications either. If the man wants to make a Robert Pattinson movie (damn good actor, by the way), let him make a Robert Pattinson movie. There’s nothing “pitiful” about it. What’s pitiful about making kick-ass movies and getting paid more than I’ve probably made in the last 10 years to do it?
Not an upcoming book. Came out last year I believe. Read it when the project was announced and doesn’t feel like something director Bong would do but am curious to see how he will make it his own
1) I couldn’t care less about the Oscars. Korean cinema didn’t need the Oscars to be interesting, don’t you know (who are the ….kicker inbred rednecks now?). But fine, go all in the land of the free (what a joke), there will always be talented filmmakers everywhere else.
2) 99% of the TALENTED Asian who went to Hollywood got f… and returned to their country the tail between their legs. I don’t want that to happen to Bong (his only “disappointing” movies are Barking…, Snowpiercer and the atrocious woke almost vegan Okja…I love the host but most of the SFX are unwatchable today).
3) Yes, Pattinson is a great actor (I “realised” it watching the excellent The rover where he wasn’t ridiculous facing Guy Pearce in an Australian movie which is saying a lot, in Good time,…).
4) To treat me as an anti Asian or whatever is the most hilarious thing I’ve heard about me in YEARS if not in this century. Oh my, if you knew.
5) I never eat at McDonald’s or drink a coffee at Starbucks. Never. Wherever I am. If you get what I mean. If you don’t then insult me again, that won’t ruin my day…my morning…my hour…my minute…or this fracking second.
Have a nice day.
At least it’s getting a release. Still curious about Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme. One of the Deadline commenters claims the book sucks.
David Zaslav is totally going to fuck this movie over.
i’m glad pattinson cured his asthma.
This looks quirky and unique! Even with the different tone, it’s still in line with Bong Joon-ho’s creativity.
