All Robert Pattinson does is die in the first trailer for Mickey 17, the long-awaited sci-fi film from Bong Joon-Ho.

Pattinson plays the titular Mickey, a man who leaves Earth and signs up to be an “Expendable.” As an Expendable, Mickey is sent on a colonization mission to the ice world of Niflheim. After Mickey dies, which happens often, his body is regenerated, with most of his memories intact. One day, Mickey runs into another iteration of himself. When at least two clones exist at once, they’re called “Multiples.”

“I’m not you. I’m gonna kill you,” one Mickey says to another as they fight in the trailer’s closing moments.

Mickey 17 also stars Naomi Ackie as Nasha Adjayam, Steven Yeun as Berto, Toni Collette as Gwen Johansen, and Mark Ruffalo as Hieronymous Marshall.

Bong wrote and directed Mickey 17, which is based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. Producers include Bong, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dooho Choi.

Mickey 17 is Bong’s first feature film since 2019’s Parasite, which became the first non-English language film to win Best Picture. Parasite also won Best Director (Bong), Best Original Screenplay (Bong and Han Jin-won), and Best International Feature Film.

Mickey 17 was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on March 29, 2024. However, Warner Bros. Pictures pulled Bong’s film from that date and replaced it with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Warner Bros. cited the Hollywood strikes for the delay, and the need toi give Bong more time to finish the film. The delay ended up being a good move for the studio, as the monster film grossed over $568 million worldwide.

Mickey 17 arrives in theaters on January 31, 2025.

Everything coming to PBS in November 2024

There are no new British dramas premiering on PBS in November, but there's more than enough programming to see you through the penultimate month of 2024. Ken Burns is premiering his new documentary, Leonardo da Vinci, about the world's most famous Renaissance man, artist, and inventor. And PBS has several other documentary and nature programs slated to run throughout the month.

PBS' non-partisan coverage of the 2024 presidential election will culminate on Tuesday, November 5. But if you're really missing your British dramas, there are encore presentations of All Creatures Great & Small and Call the Midwife coming as well.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in November 2024
A man stands in front of a caution sign.

James Patterson's Alex Cross character is getting a third chance in live-action this month on Amazon Prime Video. Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry have previously portrayed the titular detective character. Now, Black Adam's Aldis Hodge steps into the role. The new Cross series is Prime Video's biggest debut in November, but far from the only noteworthy addition. There are a lot of new additions to the streamer's movie lineup, including The Godfather trilogy, Silver Linings Playbook, and the unconventional vampire film Abigail.

Additionally, Prime Video is rebooting Cruel Intentions as a drama series, which has the potential to be another big hit for the streamer. And aside from Die Hard, there are only a handful of Christmas titles coming this month. We can appreciate a little restraint, especially since December will likely be a very different story.

Thanks to Disney's big summer at the box office, Disney+ gets to bring home the second-highest-grossing movie of the year in November. Deadpool & Wolverine is making its streaming debut on November 12, but it's not the only noteworthy new addition to Disney+. If you've ever loved the Star Wars and Indiana Jones themes of John Williams, then you should watch the new documentary Music By John Williams, which is available on Disney+ as of November 1.

A really charming Christmas-related animated short, An Almost Christmas Story, is arriving on November 15, while Beatles '64 adds yet another Beatlemania documentary to Disney+ on November 29. On that same date, Disney is also celebrating the 60th anniversary of Mary Poppins this month by releasing a special documentary about one of Walt Disney's personal favorite films. And finally, Disney gets to capitalize on the release of Wicked by bringing Oz the Great and Powerful to Disney+ near the end of November.
