Horror Weekly News: Robert Pattinson stars in Mickey 17. Scare Package sequel comes to Shudder.

 

From Director Bong Joon Ho comes another sci-fi thriller based on Edward Ashton’s critically acclaimed novel MICKEY 7. 

The movie titled MICKEY 17 stars, Robert Pattinson, in the titular role. It also stars Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Naomi Ackie. 

The plot should follow that of the book. 

According to the book summary--Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal— the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom in Midgard.

After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles really begin.

The movie is set to release on March 29th 2024.
