Oscar-winning writer-director Bong Joon-ho’s latest film is a high-concept sci-fi satire — not unfamiliar territory for him — about a man who agrees to take on dangerous assignments on an off-world colony with the understanding that every time he dies, a new version of his body will be cloned and put back to work. The man at the center of it all is played by Robert Pattinson, who took inspiration from a variety of surprising sources to breathe life into the different iterations of his character. Watch the video to see how Pattinson interpreted Mickey’s plight and found a way to tap into the sadness of the situation while still maintaining the film’s off-kilter tone.
Mickey 17 opens in theaters on March 7, 2025.
