Hollywood star Robert Pattinson is teaming up with Parasite director Bong Joon Ho for an upcoming sci-fi film with Warner Bros.

The filmmaker will write and direct the yet untitled film. He is in talks with Pattinson.

The project will be based on Mickey7, a forthcoming novel from author Edward Ashton.

Mickey7 is described as Andy Wier’s The Martian meets Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter. It centres on Mickey7, a man on an expedition to colonise the ice world Niflheim. This expendable employee takes jobs too risky for anyone else, and when he dies, he regenerates as a clone with most of his memories intact.

When Mickey7 is presumed dead, he returns to the mission’s base only to see that a new clone, Mickey8, has taken his place. The book will be published in the first quarter of this year by St. Martin, an imprint of Macmillan.—IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
