Netflix has released a first look image from director Bong Joon-ho’s film Okja. The image features Tilda Swinton (Nancy Mirando) and Giancarlo Esposito (Frank Dawson) shooting on location in New York City.
Okja stars Tilda Swinton (Hail, Caesar!, Moonrise Kingdom), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler, Southpaw) and Paul Dano (Love & Mercy, 12 Years a Slave) in a bold, global adventure.
The film was written by Bong and Jon Ronson (Frank) and follows Mija, a young girl who must risk everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a massive animal named ‘Okja’. Mija will be played by Seohyun An.
Okja will premiere globally on Netflix in 2017 and will also have a limited day and date theatrical release in the US.
