I was surprised to see that no thread has been created for this one. Shooting starts on August and it’ll be Bong’s first movie since Parasite and Rob’s first movie since The Batman. Can’t wait!

Darius Khondji is the cinematographer, reuniting with Bong after they did Okja together.

Mega excited… but hope the performances don’t get hammy like they did in Snowpiercer and Okja

I think Pattinson could get his first nom for this. The Academy does have Sci-Fi bias, but they do warm up to actors playing struggling astronauts every once in a while. WB is great at campaigning and the role looks pretty baity.

Is Toni Collette a lead or supporting role in this movie and does she have a juicy role in this film? Would like her to get an Oscar.

“Based on a book by Edward Ashton, Mickey7 is a dystopian sci-fi thriller set in space. The titular character (we’re assuming played by R-Patz), is known as an ‘expendable’: a disposable employee who is enlisted to partake in an exhibition to colonise an ice world known as Niflheim. He is known as Mickey7 because his six previous iterations have died on so-called suicide missions; each time, a new version of Mickey is manufactured with the original Mickey’s memories intact. But upon this mission to Niflheim, Mickey starts to reckon with why he’s the one chosen to partake in these voyages. When he goes missing, and Mickey8 reports for duty, a whole new host of problems for him come to the fore.”

That sounds very similar to Oblivion(Tom Cruise). Similar to Moon too
