'As expected of Bong Joon Ho!Director Bong Joon-ho unveils preview of the new work 'Mickey17' in 6 years since 'Parasite'
Director Bong Joon-ho's new work 'Mickey 17' has been gradually unveiled by releasing the first trailer.

After 'Parasite'(19), Bong Joon-ho's 'Mickey17', which the world was curious about and waited for, finally released the first trailer. In particular, it is fun to compare the two trailers for Korean audiences by releasing trailers made for Korean audiences separately from global trailers.

As we can surmise from the numbering after the name, it revolves around Mickey 17 (Robert Pattinson), a protagonist who repeats the cycle of death and life, interesting characters and colorful events from the icy planet that mankind is trying to pioneer, and the precarious coexistence and mysterious creator of Mickey 17 and Mickey 18. The first trailer for `Mickey 17' always defies predictions and exceeds expectations, showing a new story and world like Bong Joon-ho.

Also, the release timing for Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 is interesting. The global trailer and the Korean trailer were released simultaneously at 17:18 local time in the United States and 9:18 on September 18, the last day of the Chuseok holiday in Korea.

The trailer is "It's going to be an extreme job", "You have to get used to dying."It begins with the line " showing a gun, a terrified Mickey, and showing that Mickey's extreme job is "Death".

The wrist, which is cut off immediately after Mickey's expression of peacefully swimming in space, suggests the unpredictable development that 'Mickey 17' will show and 'Mickey's not smooth fate. Breathing an unidentified atmosphere, becoming a subject, and coughing up blood, Mickey dies and the number goes up every time he is printed.

Robert Pattinson, who traveled between the hero of the blockbuster and the hero of the art film, was thrown into the incinerator, as represented by "The Batman" and "Lighthouse." Thank youMickey 17, who is so nice that he can't think of the existing image, is enough to say thank you ". In addition, the data should be the same personality because it is printed with saved data, but Robert Pattinson's appearance between the two silly and dangerous Mickey 18s adds to the expectation for the coexistence of the two Mickeys. In particular, the setup where either Mickey 17 or Mickey 18 has to die is also interesting because the multiplex with two or more people present at the same time is illegal.

A brave and capable agent, Mickey's girlfriend Nasha is played by Naomi Ackie, who stars in the `Lady Macbeth' and the Whitney Houston biopic `I Wanna Dance With Sombody' and won the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Season 2.

Mark Ruffalo as Kenneth Marshall, commander of the ice planet pioneering group with followers, and Tony Collette as Elsa Marshall, his wife, cast tension and unexpected laughter as they move between the madness and bravado of religious leadership-like agitation.

And after his first stint with director Bong Joon-ho with Okja Steven Yeun, who won the Golden Globe Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and Best Actor in an American Actors Guild Awards with 'Minari'Okja', told Mickey just before his death, "What does it feel like to die?Playing friend Timo, who asks a friendly cruel question. A greeting that has never been heard anywhere else in the world "Die well, see you tomorrow" also leaves a unique afterimage.

In addition, it adds to the curiosity about what are the creators who fill the ice planet with Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 action, and what will happen to humanity, including Mickey 17 and Mickey 18, who met them.

Adapted from Edward Ashton's new novel "Mickey 7", "Mickey 17" is a consumable (expendable) put into dangerous work, and it tells the unpredictable story of Mickey 18 being printed after he dies, thinking he died during his 17th death crisis. Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Tony Collette and Mark Ruffalo appeared, and Bong Joong-ho, the director of 「Parasite」, took the megaphone. It will be released in Korea for the first time in the world on January 28, 2025.
