Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17' Premieres in London to Strong Early Reactions

The sci-fi dark comedy, starring Robert Pattinson as an expendable clone, explores themes of identity and survival ahead of its March 7 release.

Bong Joon Ho's first film since the Oscar-winning 'Parasite' premiered in London, showcasing a blend of sci-fi, dark comedy, and human drama.
Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, an expendable clone tasked with dangerous missions on an ice planet, with the film exploring themes of identity, survival, and class disparity.
Critics praised the film's performances, particularly Pattinson's dual roles and Mark Ruffalo's portrayal of the villain, as well as Bong's unique storytelling style.
The film, based on Edward Ashton's novel 'Mickey7', departs significantly from its source material, with added complexity and a focus on a love story between Mickey and Nasha, played by Naomi Ackie.
'Mickey 17' will release in South Korea on February 28 and globally on March 7, with additional screenings at the Berlin International Film Festival.
