Warner Bros. The movie studio has indefinitely postponed the release date of “Parasite” director Bong Joon-ho’s next film, “Mickey Mouse 17,” to give the director more time to finish the film.
“Mickey 17” was originally scheduled to be released on March 29, 2024. According to various sources, the decision to postpone the film was due to the fact that the Korean director needed more time to complete the film, hindered by the Hollywood strike last year and other production shifts, Variety reports.
As a result, the studio moved up the premiere of its second film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which was originally scheduled for release on April 12 but will now hit theaters two weeks earlier.
The Korean director’s new film is an adaptation of Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel “Mickey7,” which the book’s publisher described as a quirky and intelligent thriller that follows in the footsteps of “The Martian” (Any Weir) and “Dark Matter” (Blake Crouch).
In the film, Robert Pattinson plays a replaceable, disposable human worker or clone who is sent on a human colonization expedition to an ice planet. However, Pattinson’s character prevents his surrogate clone from taking over.
“Mickey 17” is Bong Joon-ho’s first film after his huge success “Parasite” (2019), which became Korea’s highest-grossing film and the first non-English-language film to win the Oscar for best feature film.
