Admire the Vessels, Attires, and Technology Showcased in Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17
Curious about how a new human is created in the context of Bong Joon-ho's latest film, "Mickey 17"? Fear not, sicko, I'm not talking about anything immoral here. I'm referring to the concept in the movie where Robert Pattinson's character, Mickey, is resurrected over and over again. But how does that happen? Well, it's all thanks to a fancy-schmancy human printer, as you'll find out in the new book "The Art and Making of Mickey 17," coming out March 11.
The book, written by Simon Ward, offers a plethora of behind-the-scenes insights, exclusive interviews with the creators and cast, and never-before-seen photos and concept art. It gives you a detailed look at the incredible, somewhat bizarre technology used in the film, such as the spaceship Mickey flies in and the human printer that resurrects him.
So, how does this human printer work, you ask? Let me break it down for you:
- Purpose: The human printer is a device that brings Mickey back to life after each of his numerous deaths. It does this by using leftover junk from previous versions of him, effectively making him disposable.
- Process: The human printer recreates Mickey by taking a detailed scan of his remains and using this data to assemble a new version of him. This process is shown to be uncomfortable and tedious in the film.
- Premature Cloning: In a twist of events, Mickey is accidentally cloned prematurely, leading to the existence of two versions of him: Mickey 17 and Mickey 18. These two versions must learn to cooperate to protect the colonists from outside threats.
