Bong Joon Ho‘s ‘Mickey 17,’ Starring Robert Pattinson, to Premiere at Berlin Film Festival (EXCLUSIVE)


Bong Joon Ho‘s hotly anticipated sci-fi film 'Mickey 17,' starring Robert Pattinson, will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

The $118 million movie marks Bong’s first directorial effort since “Parasite,” which won Cannes’ Palme d’Or and made Oscar history, becoming the first foreign-language film to win the Academy Award for best picture. Securing the movie’s international premiere is a major coup for the Berlinale’s new artistic director Tricia Tuttle — a progressive American film journalist and curator — who will celebrate her first edition at the festival this year, succeeding Carlo Chatrian. As previously announced, the 75th edition of the Berlin Film Festival will kick off with Tom Tykwer’s “The Light,” which will be presented as a Berlinale Special Gala out of competition.
