New sci-fi movie M𝕴ickey 17 is the latest feature from director Bong Joon Ho, who has impressed before with the likes of Snowpiercer and Okja, but is best known for his brilliant Oscar-winning drama Parasite.

And given the critical acclaim his new project is already receiving, including from our own five star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mickey 17 review, perhaps this will follow in Parasite's footsteps. In fact, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some are already calling for Robert Pattinson to win Oscars f🔥or Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for his dual roles.

In the new movie, The Batman star plays Mic꧑key Barnes, a man who signs up to be an 'expendable' for a space colony, meaning that his body is reprinted out every time he dies on the many danger🧜ous missions they send him out on.

Based on the book Mickey7 by author Edward Ashton, Mickey's journey continues in the writer's sequel Antimatter Blues, which picks up two years after the 🐻events of the original. The question is then – would director Bong consider adapting that novel too? Especially since Ashton was encouraged to write it after Mickey7 got picked up for a film adaptation.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ via a translator, director Bong reveals that whilst he is keen on the idea, there are other projects he would like to tackle first. As he tells us: "When I was having a Zoom talk with Ed [Ashton], and he was telling me about it, and you know, he's such a great, fascinating writer, I would love to take on the challenge but to be honest, I have a plethora of new, weird ideas that I want to tackle, so I would like to move on to those r🔴ather than a sequel."

To be honest as long as director Bong is bo꧅oked and busy we are happy, as his projects are always something to look forward to. Those six years since the release of Parasiꩵte waiting for his next feature were tough!

As for what these "new, weird ideas" might be, director Bong's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:next live-action🧸 movie is reportedly a horror action movie set on a subway with the filmmaker working on an animated feature t꧒oo.💙 Consider us already seated for both.
