Robert Pattinson and Bong Joon Ho Will Team Up on a Sci-Fi Film

After a director wins an Oscar, the world is their oyster. More so than perhaps every other time of their profession, they’ve the probability to mainly work on something or with anybody. And within the case of Parasite director Bong Joon Ho, he’s determined to work with the star of The Batman.

Deadline studies that the Oscar-winning filmmaker—whose different credit embrace Snowpiercer, The Host, and Memories of Murder—is in talks to put in writing and direct an untitled movie based mostly on an upcoming sci-fi novel referred to as Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, and he’s more likely to get Robert Pattinson to star.

The premise for Mickey7 is extremely cool. Mickey is a clone that’s used for harmful work. If one dies, it’s superb. They simply make one other Mickey. Then on a very harmful house mission, Mickey7 is regarded as useless, solely he’s not, and when he returns he sees there’s a brand new Mickey—which then causes some issues. You can learn extra particulars over on Amazon the place you can too pre-order the e book, which comes out in February. Deadline notes, nevertheless, that “While the film will be inspired by the novel, sources say given Bong’s past experiences with adaptations, his iteration of the story might ultimately may be different from novel’s.”

While Pattinson is most frequently thought of as a film star—which is able to solely proceed with March’s launch of Matt Reeves’ The Batman—it’s simple to overlook that in between tasks like The Batman, Tenet, and all of the Twilights, he’s typically labored with wonderful administrators on small movies. Good Time with the Safdie brothers, High Life with Claire Denis, Cosmopolis with David Cronenberg, the listing goes on and on. You get the sense Pattinson far prefers heady, attention-grabbing materials over large blockbuster filmmaking. So that he’d wish to work with Bong, and that Bong can be fascinated by working with Pattinson, looks as if a match made within the heavens. With a complete bunch of clones.

No work on when the untitled adaptation of Mickey7 may go into manufacturing, however with The Batman press beginning to ramp up, we’re more likely to hear sooner quite than later.
