Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson Launch Sci-Fi Film 'Mickey 17' in Seoul

The highly anticipated movie, based on Edward Ashton’s novel, will premiere at Berlinale before its global theatrical release in March.

Director Bong Joon Ho and actor Robert Pattinson hosted the first press event for 'Mickey 17' in Seoul, marking Pattinson's first visit to South Korea.
'Mickey 17,' Bong's first feature since the Oscar-winning 'Parasite,' is based on Edward Ashton’s novel and explores themes of humanity and vulnerability through a futuristic sci-fi lens.
The film will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, with theatrical releases scheduled for February 28 in South Korea and March 7 in the U.S.
Bong highlighted his focus on creating a screenplay that AI could not replicate and emphasized the film's humanistic approach over technical details from the source material.
The ensemble cast includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, with Pattinson portraying a character navigating existential challenges as an expendable worker on a dangerous mission.
