We said that Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel Mickey7 “packs in the peril but still leaves you with the warm and fuzzies, offering space for questioning and hope for humanity” in our FOUR STAR review of the novel and now the book has its own adaptation, renamed Mickey 17 and directed by all-round legend Bong Joon Ho.
Check out the first trailer here…
In Mickey 17, the 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.
Written and directed by Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer, Okja), Mickey 17 stars Robert Pattinson (The Batman), Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker), Steven Yeun (Nope), with Toni Collette (Hereditary), and Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things).
