Surpassing 1.5 million viewers and leading the March box office, the film 'Mickey 17' released a video titled 'The Birth of Mickey.'
As an expendable involved in dangerous missions, the character 'Mickey' (written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, produced by Plan B Entertainment, distributed by Warner Brothers Korea Co., Ltd.) faces a crisis of his 17th death, which unfolds into an unpredictable story when 'Mickey 18' is printed, believing he has died.
The released video features behind-the-scenes footage showcasing the two characters 'Mickey 17' and 'Mickey 18,' who share the same face, name, and memories but are distinctly different. Robert Pattinson noted, "It's really challenging to play two very different characters, but at the same time, it's a lot of fun," revealing that he felt the contrasting emotions while acting, which adds intrigue. Additionally, he stated, "Director Bong is incredibly talented, and he truly makes the impossible possible" and commented that "what made 'Mickey' come alive is 100 percent Rob (Robert Pattinson)" (Bong Joon-ho), suggesting that the combination of Robert Pattinson's rich performance and Bong Joon-ho's unique direction led to the creation of a multi-dimensional and attractive 'Mickey.'
Among fans who have seen the movie, there is an active vote ongoing to choose which 'Mickey,' either 'Mickey 17' or 'Mickey 18,' is more to their liking, as the two 'Mickeys' are adored for their 180-degree contrasting charms. Director Bong Joon-ho highlighted in the video 'The Birth of Mickey' that many ideas directly added by Robert Pattinson have been reflected in the character 'Mickey 18.' This interpretation by Robert Pattinson has captivated audiences throughout the film and continues to draw attention even after the movie ends.
The film 'Mickey 17,' showcasing the character 'Mickey' completed by Bong Joon-ho and Robert Pattinson, is currently being screened across the nation.
