New photos from 'Snow Piercer' with Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, and Octavia Spencer


Let's see...Star Trek Into Darkness, Pacific Rim, Elysium, Europa Report.......About Time?  Ok, other than that last one this is shaping up to be a stellar year for science-fiction, and arguably the most promising offering is Snow Piercer, the English language debut from Mother and The Host director, Bong Joon-Ho.

A batch of new photos have surfaced, including one that features nearly all of the international cast including a very weird-looking Tilda Swinton (there's a shoe on her head), Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Song Kang-ho, Go Ah-sung, Ewen Bremner, and Ed Harris. An Earth ruined by environmental disaster is the setting for the high-concept story, which finds a group of passengers aboard a perpetually-moving train where a class system emerges as supplies dwindle.

There's no release date yet but expect Snow Piercer to hit the festival circuit before opening in theaters later this year.
