Bong Joon Ho's Upcoming Sci-Fi Thriller Has a Star-Studded Cast

The official plot for Joon Ho's movie has yet to be announced, but the sci-fi film itself will be a loose adaptation of Edward Ashton's "Mickey7." In a previous interview with Nerdist, the author said he learned that his novel had been picked up for the movie when Deadline first published the news in January. He's also aware that Joon Ho's movie will likely be a departure from his original story.

"Director Bong is going to change a lot about the book," he told the outlet. "When I spoke with him, he made it pretty clear. [He said] 'You've got a 350 page book. I'm gonna have a 120 page script. There's a lot that's gonna go.'"
