New Featurette Released For Netflix’s Star-Studded Okja


Bong Joon Ho is probably best known for directing the Chris Evans-fuelled Snowpiercer, and he's teaming up with Netflix to bring this heartwarming film called Okja. A new featurette focuses on the lead girl, Mija, played by An Seo Hyun.

Okja looks to be this massive hybrid between a pig and a hippo, and Mija is Okja's caretaker and friend, even calling Okja her "little sister." The story will have a multi-national company trying to capture Okja in order to turn her into a new source of meat — one that consumes less and can provide a lot of food without having too much carbon emissions.

I know that it sounds a bit like your classic Free Willy "free the animals" story, but this movie just looks so interesting, and the premise is definitely intriguing. Nobody really wants Okja to die, but turning her into the next primary food source could potentially save the planet as a whole.

The movie also promises a star-studded cast which includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Tilda Swinton, and Lily Collins. Even The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun is in it, as well as Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad! Boy, am I glad that it's alredy June.

Though the movie won't be releasing in theaters near you soon, you can catch it on Netflix on June 28.
