Parasite AND Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho knocked Dusk Heartthrob turned solemn actor Robert Pattinson into a star in his upcoming film science fiction movie Mickey 17 about a guy who was cloned and killed in space. Pattinson was apparently experimenting with very funky voices for the two clones, but Bong told him no.
Since Pattinson plays each copy of the titular Mickey, an unlucky blue-collar worker who became a test subject for a colony ship, he had to find a way to distinguish the individual numbered versions. “I just had the idea that she was kind of like a dog with a complete lack of self-esteem,” he said. “He just shows up, reports for duty. But I hope it turns out to be a combination of deep, misguided guilt and survival. He’s the one who just says, “I’m just going to keep lowering my expectations.” Great mood, as the kids say.
