Mickey 17: Trailer Talk

Astronaut Mickey (Robert Pattinson – The Batman) is sent on a mission after undergoing an experiment – every time he dies, a clone of himself is created to continue the mission. 

Robert Pattinson is an actor that I’ve quickly grown fond of; he’s not only great, but the films he picks are always unique in some way and this is no exception. He has a fantastic range as an actor, plus the rest of the film’s cast are impressive: Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things, Avengers Assemble), Toni Collette (Hereditary, The Sixth Sense) Steven Yeun (Nope, Mayhem) and Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) are also attached.

Not only is the cast fantastic but ‘Mickey 17’ is written and directed by Bong Joon-Ho (Parasite, Okja). Considering his strong filmography, this gives me hope that the film will be great.

The idea of a character dying over and over to complete a mission is not a new one; an example of this is 2014’s ‘Edge of Tomorrow’. But this film adds a new layer to the idea, as the trailer shows Mickey waking to find a previous version of himself hasn’t died. It’s a really interesting idea and the execution makes ‘Mickey 17’ stand out. 

‘Mickey 17’ came out of nowhere but, with a new spin on a familiar premise, a brilliant writer/director and a fantastic cast, it’s one to be excited for.
