At the Berlin Film Festival press conference for “Mickey 17” directed by Bong Joon Ho, Robert Pattinson disclosed that he modeled one of his eccentric accents in the film after the character played by Steve Buscemi in “Fargo.
In the humorous science fiction movie, Pattinson portrays Mickey Barnes, a character who enlists as a disposable individual in a fresh human settlement, taking on hazardous tasks from which he’s not meant to return. Every time he perishes, a new body is produced, and many of the film’s events revolve around the escapades of his 17th and 18th duplicates – both featuring somewhat distinct yet equally peculiar accents.
Today, I finally understood what I was aiming for in my performance,” Robert Pattinson explained when asked about his motivation, laughing heartily. Earlier, Bong Joon-ho had mentioned that one idea he had for the character of 18 was Peter Stormare from ‘Fargo.’ It seems that this notion inadvertently led me to portray Steve Buscemi as 17. I didn’t realize this connection until today; I thought I was pursuing a different approach.
In a science fiction comedy, Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, a penniless individual who joins the workforce on the human settlement Niflheim as an ‘expendable,’ which essentially means he’s a disposable clone worker. As an expendable, Mickey is assigned tasks that are likely to be fatal, and every time he dies, a new body is created for him. However, when one of his clones, Mickey 17, is mistakenly believed to have perished, both the original (Mickey 18) and the newly regenerated version (also Mickey 18) must confront their roles as expendables and the oppressive regime governing the colony.
The upcoming film “Mickey 17,” set to debut at the Berlin Film Festival this coming Saturday evening, boasts an impressive cast featuring Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. Initially slated for a U.S. release on March 29, 2024, the film’s premiere was postponed due to the 2023 actors’ and writers’ strikes. Subsequently rescheduled for January 31, 2025, it faced further delays in April before being brought forward to a new date of March 7.
