Oscar-winning “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson talk about what drew them to “Mickey 17,” in cinemas March 5

Robert Pattinson as Mickey 18 and Mickey 17 in Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17.”

Director Bong Joon Ho, who won Academy Awards in 2020 for writing and directing “Parasite,” is back in the director’s chair with the hotly anticipated “Mickey 17,” starring Robert Pattinson. 

Just from the summary of the original novel, “Mickey 7” by Edward Ashton, Bong says he was “instantly captivated” and got more engrossed in the story as he read page by page. “I thought that it had such a unique concept, which is human printing, and that’s very different from human cloning,” says the filmmaker. “It’s like you’re printing out humans as if human beings are just pieces of paper, documents to be printed out. And I thought that human printing – even in the expression itself – we could sense the tragedy of that condition and that profession. And so, I started thinking about what it would be like to actually be that person being printed out. All these thoughts came to me and I was completely in that world instantly.”

At the 60th Anvil Awards at the Manila Hotel, PascualLab received a Silver Anvil from the prestigious PR Society of the Philippines (PRSP) for Poten-Cee's 50th-anniversary campaign, #FiftyFortifiedandForgingForward.

According to Mickey de Quiros, Anvil Committee Chairman: “While the volume of entries is impressive, we must remember that the Anvil Awards have always stood for one core principle—integrity. The true value of an Anvil lies not in the number of awards given, but in the quality of the work. So, as we honored winners, we are reminded that the recognition is a reflection of the impact they have on the communities and industries they serve. It is about creating meaningful change through well-crafted, thoughtful, and strategic campaigns.”  

This 2025 and forging forward, Poten-Cee affirms its commitment to Filipinos.
