screencrush.com
Weird body horror. Pointed commentary about the haves and have nots of the world. Intense bursts of violence. Extremely dark comedy. Theyve all been trademarks of Korean auteur Bong Joon-hos movies fromMemories of Murder toThe Host toSnowpiercer to his Oscar-winnerParasite, which opened in theaters in 2019, and everything in between.Five years later, Bong finally has his follow-up film, and it definitely looks like its of a piece with the rest of his work.Mickey 17stars Robert Pattinson (and also Robert Pattison) in a sci-fi satire about a dystopian future where the only way to improve yourstation in life might be to agree to become an expendable i.e. human cannon fodder doomed to die and then be resurrected as a clone only to die again in the service of humanitys space colonization efforts.The new trailer looks really bleak and really funny and really Bong Joon-ho.
