Bong-Joon Ho is now
getting his pick of the litter for follow-up Okja. The latest
thesp joining the movie‘s veritable line-up of stars is Breaking Bad‘s Giancarlo Esposito. Like Ho’s previous film, Okja won’t
be a straight-laced affair. Part sci-fi and part-drama, the movie is being
angled as a creature feature with a difference, as it revolves around a young
girl “who must risk everything to prevent
a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a massive
genetically-manufactured pig named Okja.”
While he’s not yet named in early reports, he’s described as her
right-hand man. Esposito’s most recognized for his turn as Gus Fring in Breaking
Bad, the thorn in the side of Walter White. He delivered some chilling
lines and cut quite the villainous figure in his time, so expect more dastardly
behavior from him.
Both Esposito and Swinton won’t be going it alone though, with a
top-notch cast rounded out by Jake
Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Steven Yeun and Seo-Hyeon
Ahn. As production’s in full swing on Okja, it’s only a
matter of time before the first images and a potential teaser surface. Bearing
in mind how popular Snowpiercer
became on home video and Netflix, Ho’s follow-up is becoming a highly-anticipated
outing indeed.
