The movie is based on Edward Ashton's 2022 novel Mickey7. The book has been adapted for the big screen by Bong Joon-ho, the acclaimed director of Parasite.
Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson recently shared that he began to worry about cinema after the COVID-19 pandemic and the strikes, as people started saying that cinema is dying.
"The last few years for the film industry, starting with Covid and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly," said Pattinson, adding, "I was literally almost turned off. It actually started to get a little worrying," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
On recent releases, Pattinson added, "I saw this Norwegian movie Armand, which I thought was amazing. My friend Brady Corbet's movie The Brutalist. Anora. You can even see it in terms of script," adding that he is hopeful his forthcoming sci-fi film Mickey 17 "will come out in a period of enthusiasm for cinema."
