Although we are still waiting for confirmation of the screening date at Berlinale, they have released a press kit for the film in which they spoke with Bong Joon-Ho . Below are excepts relating to Rob only, but you can download the full pdf HERE. I’ve also extracted some of Rob’s bio that they have presented in the press kit.
IN CONVERSATION WITH BONG JOON HO (Writer / Director / Producer)…
Q: Can you tell us about Robert Pattinson—when did he first catch your attention?
BONG JOON HO: We’ve all known him since “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” but I started seeing him under another light as an actor through “Good Time” with the Safdie brothers and his riveting performance in “The Lighthouse” with Willem Dafoe. He became an actor on another level with those two works. Same goes for “The Batman,” when I saw him take on such an iconic character and make it completely his own with a refreshing take. I thought playing both Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 would ignite his ambitions as an actor and we’d be able to have fun and inspire each other.
Q: Can you tell us anything about how you and Rob worked to find the voice of Mickey?
BONG JOON HO: I wrote the script myself and there’s a lot of character description there, but it was 100 percent due to Rob that the character feels rich and alive. He added so many ideas and refined the details, especially with Mickey 18. Without his input, we wouldn’t have the Mickey we see now. We get to see a lot of the inspirations and ideas Rob came up with, and that’s one of the best parts about this film.
Q: This film has garnered much fan attention and excitement. Why do you think it resonates with people and what do you hope audiences will love about it?
BONG JOON HO: First of all, [Laughs] Robert Pattinson is a very charming actor, so I think that’s why people are interested. But I’m not joking. We really see a new side of him in this film, a side we’ve never seen from him. And that naturally blends with the film’s story and theme. It’s one of the best parts. This is a sci-fi film, but it’s also a comedy and a very human story, so I hope the audience enjoys it for what it is. And when they go home after watching it, I hope they spend a brief moment thinking about what makes us human, what we must do to stay human. Just briefly, three minutes maybe [Laughs].
ROBERT PATTINSON (Mickey Barnes) maintains a fearless pursuit of challenging roles, evolving with each new project and captivating global audiences with his transformative performances.

It was recently announced that Pattinson will be producing PRIMETIME, a film for A24 directed by Lance Oppenheim. The film centers on a journalist who takes on the underbelly of crime in a unique way and changes television forever.
Upcoming, Pattinson will be starring alongside Zendaya in A24 and Kristoffer Borgli’s THE DRAMA, produced by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s production company Square Peg. The film is said to involve a couple whose romance changes dramatically before their big day.
Pattinson and his production company Icki Eneo Arlo will be teaming up with SMILE filmmaker Parker Finn to produce new take on the 1981 psychological supernatural horror movie POSSESION. Pattinson’s acting involvement will be clarified down the road as the script and schedules develop, but the project has already sparked bidding war among A24, Netflix, Paramount, Sony and others.
Additionally, through his production company Icki Eneo Arlo, Pattinson will be producing Ross Evans’ highly coveted spec HOW TO SAVE A MARRIAGE with Sony. The project is in early development and plot details have not yet been revealed.
Pattinson will soon begin production on Matt Reeves’s THE BATMAN 2 for Warner Bros. The sequel film to the highly successful THE BATMAN is expected to premiere on October 3, 2025.

A few things have happened in relation to the release of Mickey17.
First, we were treated to the new still above thanks to USAToday.

Although as Variety reported, “There could also be a premiere of the movie in South Korea slated for before the Berlinale unspooling.” The official program announcement will happen on Tuesday 21 January 2025 at 11am Berlin time (which is about 9pm Tuesday in Sydney ). If you want to watch following the highlighted link above for access to YouTube and the Berlin website.
