Steven Yeun joins Robert Pattinson in Bong Joon Ho’s new film

July 8, 2022 by EJ Moreno

Bong Joon Ho loves reteaming with actors, and his next project has brought in one of his past collaborators.

Deadline reports that the Parasite filmmaker will reunite with Steven Yeun, following their work together for Netflix’s Okja in 2017. Yeun is coming off his starring role in Jordan Peele’s Nope coming this July and will also star in the Netflix/A24 series Beef with Ali Wong.

Bong Joon Ho will direct an adaptation of the novel Mickey7, his first project since his global sensation Parasite took over the world. Joon Ho will write, direct and produce for his production company Offscreen, alongside Kate Street Picture Company’s Dooho Choi and Plan B’s Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner.

The novel’s story follows “Mickey7, who is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.”

Sources close to the production have noted that Bong Joon Ho will likely change things from the novel. Given his history with adaptations, the filmmaker will likely take liberties with the material but stay true to what made Edward Ashton’s novel work.

Alongside Yeun and Pattinson, the Mickey7 adaptation will also feature Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette.
