Bong Joon-Ho participated in a Master Class at the Florence Korean Film Festival in Italy on 6 April 2023 and had this to say about Mickey17:
Director Bong also addressed that he worked on a new movie “Mickey 17” outside London in 2022, “It’s a SF movie, and it’s an upscale movie however it incorporates my style and feel to it,” adding, “There are many ridiculous characters which are not a superheroes.”
Bong Joon-ho’s latest project is Mickey 17: “It wasn’t difficult to get used to a foreign production again, there are funny characters, it’s clear that I did it!”.
“Last year we were on this set in London. I had no difficulty getting used to it again after Snowpiercer and this time too I did the storyboarding. Mickey 17 may be a science fiction film, but you will immediately understand that I made it because you recognize my style. There are funny, awkward, stupid characters.”
