Movie "Mickey 17" is adapted from the novel "Mickey 7," about a clone who opening an unknown planet, which was released in February of this year.

Director Bong collaborated with Warner Bros, writing the script, planning and producing.

Mark Ruffalo, well-known for his role as "Hulk" in Marvel movies, Australian actress Toni Collette, who starred in "Six Sense" and "Naves Out," and Naomi Ackie, who made her name known for the Netflix series "The End of the F***ing World," will also star in the film.
