Robert Pattinson in Talks to Star in Next Bong Joon Ho Film

Robert Pattinson is currently in talks to star in The Host director Bong Joon Ho’s next film, according to a report from Deadline.

The report notes that Bong’s next film will be made at Warner Bros. and will be based on Edward Ashton’s forthcoming novel Mickey7, which is described as a mix between Andy Wier’s The Martian and Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter. It tells the story of an “expendable” who won’t allow his clone, Mickey8, to take over for him. It’s unclear what role Pattinson will play in the upcoming film as of now.

Bong’s latest film, 2019’s Parasite, earned massive praise and took home a ton of awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay at the 2020 Academy Awards.
