Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Steven Yeun and Naomi Ackie star in the sci-fi feature officially untitled at this point but going by the name of its source material – Edward Ashton’s novel “Mickey7”.
The story follows Mickey, a disposable employee sent to colonise an ice world, and soon realises that his body can regenerate after death but with his memories still preserved.
Bong directs from his own screenplay and produces alongaide Dooho Choi, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner.
Filming is reportedly taking place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden which most recently has been the home of upcoming productions like “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “Barbie,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “Wonka”.
