Discovery of Warner Bros. It is by far the most controversial studio in Hollywood in recent years. Especially since the pandemic, where its simultaneous premiere ended up delivering terrifying results for its box office productions. To the point of being afraid Christopher Nolanwho would find a new home at Universal Pictures for his Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer. After that, the cancellation of bat girl or the recent mistreatment in cinemas Jury No. 2 These are just a few examples of the bad author reputation created by major in the current five years. Far from remedying this, the company led by David Zaslav is doing the same with one of the the most anticipated films of 2024. A sci-fi story starring Robert Pattinson and directed by none other than the man responsible for Parasites.
The proposal in question is the adaptation of Edward Ashton, “Mickey7”. One of the most anticipated films of 2024 which will ultimately not arrive this year, after several consecutive delays in its programming. At the head of the project entitled Mickey 17 is found Bong Joon-horesponsible for family thriller with which the South Korean revolutionized the 2020 Oscars. Parasites became the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, but in addition to that it got other three golden statuettes; Best direction, international film and best original screenplay. A glory on the red carpet apparently of little weight for Warner, since since its filming in 2022, the studio has delayed its premiere several times. This is without counting what it cost the multinational production company put on the calendar a first starting point for its launch and its first trailer. The news with the procrastination of its arrival in theaters has been known for a few days, once again canceling the previous decision regarding its premiere in world cinema.
A new release date
Mickey 17 will no longer be projected on the big screen January 31, 2025. But the worst thing is that the delay is not just a few weeks. But you will have to wait three months until the new premiere set by the company: April 18 of that same year.
According to the official synopsis, Mickey 17 is a maritime transport employee “consumable” who is sent to colonize the frozen world of Niflheim. Their job is to advance humanity, learning from each of their failures and deaths, saving hundreds of lives by speeding the recovery process. extraterrestrial colonization. After each of his iterations where he dies, he regenerates into a clone with a new body where most of his memories remain intact. However, after Mickey 17 unexpectedly survive one of his missions, problems will begin to arise when he meets his new replacement, Mickey 18. This is where it will all begin. a bureaucratic, media and political process about identity in which the dystopian society in which the protagonist lives will debate what to do with these clones.
One of the most anticipated films of 2024
Interest in the project has diluted, making it go from one of the most anticipated films of 2024 to a product for which Bong Joon-ho will not have final cut. Apart from Pattinson, the cast of Mickey 17 has Naomie Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo and Holliday Grainger. Produced by Brad Pitt and his label Plan B Entertainment, the film features the director of photography of SevenDarius Khondji.
The new release date puts the film a month away with fewer offerings on billboards. Of course, it will take two weeks from the arrival of the Love at first sight from Marvel. The numerous delays are causing skepticism and lack of confidence among viewers, as Warner treats the arrival of this sci-fi story as if it were. all work. On the other hand, the production company seems alerted to the economic failure of Joker: Folie à Deux and Mickey 17 Like Todd Phillips’ sequel, it also had a budget of $150 million. Will the company manage to save the furniture or will Pattinson’s film position itself as one of Warner’s first failures in the field of exploitation in 2026?
