South Korean director Bong Joon-ho connected with Mickey, the protagonist of his latest film "Mickey 17," as he, too, has never grown accustomed to the nervousness that comes with each new project -- just as every new life does for Mickey.

Ahead of Mickey 17‘s theatrical release on March 7, Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho has finally shared some new details about his next action horror movie, which has been developing for nearly 25 years.

"Mickey 17" film stars Robert Pattinson, who plays Mickey, alongside actors Steven Yeun as Timo, Naomi Ackie as Nasha, Mark Ruffalo as Kenneth Marshall and Toni Collette as Ylfa, Kenneth’s wife. It will be released on Feb.

So how, exactly, do you make a new human? No, sicko. We don’t mean that. We mean in the context of Bong Joon Ho’s latest, Mickey 17. In the film, Robert Pattinson plays Mickey, a human “expendable” who is brought back to life, over and over, after he dies. How does that work? A new book shows you, in more ways than one.

The Berlin Film Festival got a double dose of Robert Pattinson with the premiere of Bong Joon Ho’s 'Mickey 17' on Saturday night.

Parasite director Bong Joon-ho returns to genre with Mickey 17, a chaotic, darkly comic space opera starring Robert Pattinson as a disposable clone caught in a deadly cycle of rebirth on an unforgiving ice world.
