'Mickey 17' to hit screens on Friday

For Chinese fans of US actor Robert Pattinson, who gained global recognition for The Twilight Saga film franchise, it might be jaw-dropping to see a total of 18 "Pattinsons" in his upcoming film Mickey 17 — 16 dead and two living.

The film marks South Korean director Bong Joon-ho's long-awaited follow-up to Parasite, which won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and swept four Oscars in 2020, including a history-making win for Best Picture — the first ever for a non-English-language film.
