After countless date changes, Bong Joon-ho's (Parasite) next movie, Mickey 17, finally seems locked and ready for a March 7 release in theaters. Its first trailer, released back in September, was a riot and completely sold us on this adaptation of Edward Ashton's novel, but Warner is now ensuring that everyone is well aware of it with a second, meatier public look at the sci-fi feature.
With Ashton directly involved in the creative process and Bong Joon-ho adapting the book himself as the sole screenwriter, expectations are high for this one, which seems to be an expert mix of accessible adventure and black comedy. It might remind followers of the South Korean filmmaker of Okja (2017) and, to a smaller degree, of his take on Snowpiercer (2013). The all-star cast includes Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomie Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. Add it all up and Warner could have a big winner in its hands for the early spring season.
