Bong's unparalleled creativity and narrative craftsmanship, as demonstrated in his previous works like "Parasite" and "Snowpiercer," make him the perfect visionary to bring Edward Ashton's novel to life. The production began at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in August 2022, allowing ample time for Bong Joon-ho and his team to meticulously craft the film's striking visual aesthetics and intricate world-building. The conclusion of production in December 2022 suggests a dedicated and focused effort to deliver a remarkable cinematic experience.

With its intriguing premise, talented cast, and the visionary storytelling of Bong Joon-ho, "Mickey17" has created considerable buzz among fans of science fiction and cinema as a whole.
