A cat has nine lives and Robert Pattinson has 17 – at least judging by the behind-closed doors trailer forParasitedirector Bong Joon Ho’s new movie Mickey 17, which debuted at CinemaCon.
The trailer, which hasn’t yet been released to the public, reportedly sees Robert Pattinson’s Mickey sent on a series of suicide missions – with the kicker being that death is merely a do-over, as “human printing” means another version of Mickey is used as a replacement.
“Set to ‘Ain’t That Kick in the Head’ by Dean Martin, Robert Pattinson has a very specific, weird, squeaky accent in it. We see him die so, so many times. In lava, ice, space, etc. But it looks super goofy and epic and I cannot wait,” Gizmodo’s Germain Lussiertweeted.
At the event, Bong Joon Ho revealed that he decided to up the kill count from the plot of Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey 7.
