Bong Joon-Ho is a filmmaker who is an absolute risk-taker. We can see this whenever he takes on a project. That’s why he has a cult following, and we never get bored of the films that come from him. However, he had never worked on any English films; instead, all of his previous works were South Korean productions. Finally, he decided to give us a film that would be different, and that made sense when we watched the first trailer of the film.
Despite taking Edward Ashton’s book as the source material, the filmmaker didn’t shy away from adding his personal touch to it. He changed the title of the film, and when asked in CinemaCon, the filmmaker confidently replied, ‘I killed him ten more times; that’s why we changed it.’
So, the ones who saw the character dying seven times may get ready to see Robert Pattinson’s Mickey die even more times. Apart from that, we don’t know what other changes we’ll see in the movie adaptation. It’s out there that the movie will stay faithful to the source material, but there’s always creative liberty, so it would not be surprising if we see some more changes.
