We still have to wait until this summer(maybe) for Bong Joon-Ho's English language debut, Snow Piercer, which is unfair because even the concept art looks incredible. The first official image has arrived for the post-apocalyptic thriller, and it shows Joon-Ho's frequent collaborator Song Kang-Ho(Mother) and a group of passengers looking like they've had better trips.
The film features an impressive ensemble and a high-concept premise based on the French graphic novel, Le Transperceneige. Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Alison Pill, and John Hurt, and Ewen Bremner play passengers on a train perpetually circling a ruined earth in the wake of a cataclysmic global warming disaster. As supplies dwindle and a power structure emerges, a rebellion begins to brew.
Look for Snow Piercer to hit one of the year's film festivals before The Weinsteins release it into theaters. [The Film Stage]
