The First Teaser For Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Okja’ Is Here!

Briefly: I’m beyond excited for this one.

Not because I was a big fan of Snowpiercer (that would be our old pal Eric Francisco, who is bound to have multiple Snowpiercer tattoos at this point), but because I had the pleasure of being a part of the film’s month-long Vancouver shoot. The care, intensity, and passion that every one of Okja‘s crew members (and getting to speak regularly with the film’s impressive visual effects team) has firmly planted Okja on my ‘must see the moment it becomes available’ list.

Finally, Netflix has revealed the very first teaser for the film, which doesn’t showcase just what Okja is, but definitely leaves you wanting much, much more. The company also revealed that the film will launch on June 28th.

This grand global adventure follows a friendship too big to ignore. Meet Mija, a young girl who risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a massive animal named Okja. Following her across continents, the coming-of-age comedy drama sees Mija’s horizons expand in a way one never would want for one’s children, coming up against the harsh realities of genetically modified food experimentation, globalization, eco-terrorism, and humanity’s obsession with image, brand and self-promotion.
