The upcoming sci-fi thriller MICKEY 17 Official Teaser
Warner Bros. unveils a Mickey 17 teaser. The upcoming sci-fi thriller joins the forces of Robert Pattinson with Oscar winner Bong Joon-ho, with the two announced to be working on the project this past January.
The story is… Mickey is a disposable clone on a colony ship. He’s sent on any suicidally dangerous missions. He’s starting to remember his past 16 lives and his deaths.
Robert Pattinson’s last space sci-fi film saw the actor playing a prisoner made to serve his sentence on a shuttle hurtling toward a black hole (among other human-rights offenses, including really messed-up sexual harassment). His next space drama? Mickey 17, a Bong Joon Ho joint based on the novel Mickey7, by Edward Ashton, tells the story of an employee on an expedition to colonize an ice world — but he’s doing it only for the check. The Warner Bros. film, out on March 29, 2024, is currently in production and is written, directed, and produced by the Oscar-winning Parasite director. Not much has been said about the script, but the first look at the film depicts a comatose Pattinson emerging from sleep in what appears to be a cryogenic freezer in what seems like a tricked-out MRI machine in a long, sparse room. Steven Yeun (Minari), Naomi Ackie (I Wanna Dance With Somebody), Toni Collette (Hereditary), and Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk) round out the cast. If Bong’s previous films are anything to go by, Mickey 17 is likely shaping up to be another social thriller that will thaw right in time for the start of 2025’s awards-season race.
