2025 will be an exciting year for science fiction fans! Between the return of the cult franchise Star Trek with the movie Section 31 and the arrival of new proposals like Jurassic World : Rebirththe dark rooms will vibrate. But let's be honest, the film that makes the mouth water the most of all aficionados of the genre is good Mickey 17 ! Get your popcorn ready, it’s going to be EPIC! Bong Joon-ho's new baby (yes, yes, the genius behind Parasite !) is coming and we warn you, it’s going to be crazy. Release scheduled for March 5 in France, and we warn you, it's going to be crazy.
Robert Pattinson has the strangest job in the universe
In the casting? Robert Pattinson, just that! He plays Mickey Barnes, a man who accepts a very high-risk job. The concept? Become a “consumable”. Basically, he's sent on a suicide mission, and every time he dies, he's “reprinted” to start again.
Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, the film plunges us into a future where survival is a real challenge. And to make our mouths water even more, a new trailer has just been released (go see it!).
>> You missed it: this science fiction film about time travel has a breathtaking ending and it's available on Netflix! <<
Before its official release, Mickey 17 will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival (February 13-23). And in terms of casting, hang on: Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Holliday Grainger and Anamaria Vartolomei will also be there!
-Bong Joon-ho: The return of the king of the Oscars!
And Mickey 17 is so anticipated, it's also because it's been a while since we've seen a new Bong Joon-ho film. Remember: in 2020, he won everything at the Oscars with Parasite (Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Film, just that!). A true legend!
FYI, Bong Joon-ho has only directed two English-language films so far: Snowpiercerwhich is the alternative for all Silo fans, and Okja. Suffice to say that with Mickey 17he’s coming back in force!
As for Robert Pattinson, after blockbusters like Tenet et The Batmanhe returns with a role that promises to be memorable. We will also find it soon in Die, My Love with Jennifer Lawrence and in The Drama with Zendaya. And of course, he will reprise his role as Bruce Wayne in The Batman II. In short, a busy year for the actor!
