Directed by Bong Joon Ho, ‘Mickey 17‘ is a rated-R film about an unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, who has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. Mickey is an Expendable, a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous–even suicidal–the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated, and most of his memories are intact. After one of his clones, “Mickey 17”, is incorrectly assumed dead, both the previous and current version, known as Mickey 18, have to grapple with the nature of being expendables and the brutal government of the colony.

Additional cast includes Holliday Grainger, Anamaria Vartolomei, Thomas Turgoose, Angus Imrie, Patsy Ferran, Daniel Henshall, Steve Park, and Tim Key.
