From the Academy Award-winning writer/director of PARASITE, Bong Joon Ho, comes his next groundbreaking cinematic experience, MICKEY17 The unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.

Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable” – a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because his body can be reprinted if he dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong.

“It might not be Bong Joon Ho’s best film, but strong themes, beautiful visuals and a great performance from Robert Pattinson will keep the viewer engaged throughout.” (CinemaDebate)

“Oscar-winning filmmaker Bong Joon Ho’s (Parasite) raucous, wildly entertaining sci-fi comedy is a high-pitched, high-concept combo of slapstick and social commentary.” (Common Sense Media)

“It’s nice to see such a singular filmmaker like Bong Joon-ho get carte blanche to do whatever he wants on Warner Bros. Discovery’s dime. This is how it should be.” (USA Today)
