Mickey7 - Science Fiction thriller soon to be a major motion picture from Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon-Ho (Parasite)

Product Information

Officially I am an executive producer, but my belief is that probably that's entirely a symbolic title. Director Bong does his own thing, and he's writing the script. He asked for my input on a few things early on. Like some details I had not considered when I was writing the book, such as, How do Creepers reproduce? That was a great question, and we talked it through. Staff, Screen (November 2, 2022). "2022 film and high-end TV productions shooting in the UK: latest updates". Screen Daily.

I'm definitely more on the hard sci-fi side of things. I'm a scientist myself, and I like to make sure everything I put into my books is at least plausible. I teach quantum physics, so I sort of understood most of this stuff, but I had to do some digging to make sure I got the details right. Like what goes on in the interstellar medium, and what's the distribution of macro objects in the interstellar medium. Those are things that we don't have a super hard grip on, but we do have some ideas about it. Rubin, Rebecca (January 19, 2022). "Bong Joon Ho Sets Next Movie at Warner Bros.

It is easy to envision the business case for digital immortality that is anything but customer-centric” But the announcement that just came out, where they confirmed that he's on board and Robert Pattinson is on board, I found out because my agent texted me the press release. There has been radio silence on this for over a year. I knew the option was coming up on expiration, but I expected that they'd say they decided to not do anything with it. 99% of the time when you option a property, that's what occurs. But that's not what happened here.

Behind all the humour, the book also meditates on history and colonisation. What is it about sci-fi that made it fit as a genre for this story?
