Acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon Ho's highly anticipated movie, Mickey 17, is set to make its debut in South Korea ahead of its global release. The film will hit theaters in Bong's home country on January 28, 2025, coinciding with the Lunar New Year holiday. This early release in South Korea is a strategic move by Warner Bros., the film's distributor, to build excitement and anticipation for the movie.
Mickey 17, based on the 2022 novel Mickey 7 by author Edward Ashton, stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role. The story follows Mickey 7, a space colonist known as an expendable, who is repeatedly cloned after each death to continue his dangerous missions. The film adaptation is expected to bring Bong Joon Ho's unique vision and storytelling style to the screen, promising audiences a blend of originality, humor, and high production values.
