Robert Pattinson currently has the spotlight on thanks to his participation in batman, where he plays Gotham City’s own vigilante. However, it is clear that the actor wants to be recognized beyond Bruce Wayne, and it seems that is about to close his appearance in another project. The most interesting thing, however, is that he would work alongside one of the most acclaimed directors of recent years.
We talk about bong joon-ho, who in 2019 won the Oscar for “Best Director” for the wonderful parasite. Well, the South Korean filmmaker is ready to embark on a new adventure and needs an actor to lead the cast. According to dead line, Robert Pattinson is the main candidate to take that role. It is important to mention that it is still in negotiations and, at the moment, nothing has been signed.
In fact, Bong Joon-ho himself has not yet closed his agreement with Warner Bros., which will be the production company responsible for taking the reins of the project. The aforementioned medium assures that the film will be based on Mickey7, a science fiction novel that will be released in February this year. Its author is Edward Ashton, also a writer of Three Days in April Y The End of Ordinary: A Novel.
Bong Joon-ho, in addition to directing, would also be in charge of the adapted script, while Robert Pattinson would star in the film if the negotiations between the two come to fruition. Now, from the source they point out that Joon Ho could have the creative freedom to follow a path somewhat different from the one proposed by the novel. For now everything is speculation while Warner Bros. does not rule on the matter.
dead line points out that, at the end of 2021, the filmmaker showed quite an interest in the project based on Mickey7. It didn’t take long for him to start meeting with actors in their 30s to find the lead. Nevertheless, the meeting with Robert Pattinson would have been the most fruitful of all; Bong Joon-ho and his team would have been surprised by the British actor and determined that he was the most suitable for the role. Pattinson already has the offer on the table And you just have to accept it.
