Google PlayParasite director Bong Joon Ho has lined up his next project.
Per a Wednesday-published report from the Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winning filmmaker will helm a film inspired by Edward Ashton’s soon-to-be-published Mickey7 for Warner Bros. Robert Pattinson, meanwhile, is reported to be in talks about taking the starring role.
Ashton’s book is set to drop next month and is billed as “The Martian meets Dark Matter.” Previous Ashton novels include The End of Ordinary and Three Days in April. Worth noting here, of course, is that the newly reported Bong Joon Ho film will likely not be a strict adaptation.
Here’s more on Mickey7 (the book) via Macmillan:
“The Martian meets Dark Matter in Edward Ashton’s high concept science fiction thriller, in which Mickey7, an ‘expendable,’ refuses to let his replacement clone Mickey8 take his place.”
With Parasite, released in 2019, Bong Joon Ho (who previously received acclaim for earlier filmography entries like Mother and Okja) bagged a worldwide hit and multiple Academy Awards. The film ultimately took home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film.
