Netflix
has unveiled the first teaser for Okja, the much talked about fantasy film from
Snowpiercer filmmaker Bong Joon Ho.
Written by Joon Ho and Jon Ronson ("Frank"), the film is as a
"bold, global adventure" that follows a young girl (Seo-Hyeon Ahn) who
lives deep in the woods of South Korea's mountainous Gangwon Province, and does
everything to prevent a multinational corporation from kidnapping her best
friend, a massive animal named Okja.
Also starring Tilda
Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lily Collins, Paul Dano, Steven Yeun, Kelly
Macdonald, Shirley Henderson, Devon Bostick, Giancarlo Esposito, Byun Heebong,
Yoon Je Moon, Choi Wooshik, and Daniel Henshall, Okja will premiere globally on
the streaming giant this June 28 with a limited U.S. theatrical release.
From
visionary Director Bong Joon Ho, this grand global adventure follows a
friendship too big to ignore. Meet Mija, a young girl who risks everything to
prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a
massive animal named Okja. Following her across continents, the coming-of-age
comedy drama sees Mija’s horizons expand in a way one never would want for
one’s children, coming up against the harsh realities of genetically modified
food experimentation, globalization, eco-terrorism, and humanity’s obsession
with image, brand and self-promotion.
