Robert Pattinson likes to play a weirdo, so it’s no shock that he jumped on the likelihood to play greater than a dozen of them in his new film Mickey 17. The primary trailer for the sci-fi comedy directed by Parasite’s Bong Joon-ho arrived on Tuesday and it’s precisely as unusual, humorous, and ugly as we had been hoping.
The film takes place sooner or later, when humanity has taken to the celebrities for lengthy journeys into house. However house is a harmful place for normal individuals. Enter Pattinson’s character, Mickey Barnes, a person who’s cloned time and again and despatched on the sort of horrible, life-threatening missions that no common particular person would join. The trailer offers us only a style of those missions, and the number of terrible methods Mickey dies, however every of them appears weirder and funnier than the final. This retains getting in an countless cycle for Mickey, till sooner or later two of his clones discover out they’re alive on the similar time — one thing that was by no means imagined to occur.
The trailer is extra obscure on the small print of what occurs subsequent, nevertheless it’s good to be left with slightly little bit of thriller. And when the individuals behind that thriller are among the finest dwelling filmmakers and an actor with a knack for attention-grabbing initiatives, it’s fairly straightforward to belief them, particularly when the primary trailer is that this bizarre and enjoyable.
Mickey 17 arrives in theaters on Jan. 17, 2025.
