Warner Bros. has undated Bong Joon Ho‘s “Mickey 17,” starring Robert Pattinson and moved “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” into its March 29 release date.
Sources tell Variety that the decision to move the highly anticipated sci-fi movie was made to allow more time to finish for the project, which had been affected due to the strike and other various production shifts. Thus, the latest installment in Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment’s Godzilla and Kong franchise, which was previously scheduled to hit theaters on April 12, will now debut on March 29.
The sci-fi story is adapted from Edward Ashton’s novel, described by publisher St. Martin Press as a high-concept cerebral thriller in the vein of “The Martian” and “Dark Matter.” Pattinson will play an “expendable” — a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Nifheim — who refuses to let his replacement clone take his place. Along with Pattinson, the cast includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.
More to come….
