An absolute ungodly stinking hot mess of a film that was clearly salvaged in post with multiple storylines and threads going nowhere. One can only assume he’s getting Warner to pay for another movie so he’s throwing himself under the bus for them.

Bong Joon Ho says "sh*t on me if you didn't like" #Mickey17, not the studio. "Director’s final cut was part of my contract and everyone at the studio and at my agency tried their best to protect me. Of course, during post production, there was lots of discussions and a lot of opinions going back and forth, but it wasn’t ever like someone was forcing something on me or giving me pressure. And so luckily, all my films have been released as my director’s final cut, even a movie as big as 'Mickey 17,' and all the good parts of that film and all the bad parts of that film came from me. I take full responsibility. So shit on me if you didn’t like it!" variety.com/2026/film/glob…
