“It’s validation for Bong,” said Jeff Bock, box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations. “It’s the road to untold riches. Even though he was already making the films he wanted to make, now he’ll have much more control over them. I suspect he’ll never have another ‘Bock is referring to Bong’s battles with Harvey Weinstein over his English-language debut, “,” a sci-fi adventure that the indie mogul tried to re-cut. That kind of situation isn’t likely to be replicated.
“We paid a lot of money for the movie at the script stage even though it was in a foreign language, because I knew that Bong was the greatest living director working today and has been for years,” said Quinn. “I understood that he could make films that appeal to genre audiences, but also ones that intellectually stimulate review-driven audiences by engaging with complex ideas.”
It also helps that Bong has forged ties with A-list talent in Hollywood thanks to his work on “Snowpiercer” and “Okja,” two films that boasted ensembles that included the likes of Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal.
why neon?i thought they just got lucky on this one

💞🙌
Idiots finally realizing what real film lovers have known for 2 decades....
As they should!
The Snowpiercer tv series is Bong involved in it at all?
haaniyah_ Honestly, I hope this encourages more Americans to be open to foreign cinema. There is so much good work -- from S. Korea to Latin America -- that most of us miss out on.
there are even more korean directors out there like bong- give them a chance as well
Hahaha💜

“Everybody should want to work with Bong Joon Ho and everybody should have been wanting to work with him for 20 years,”
I wonder if we will get a Hollywood funded foreign language film.
Good! The movie was fantastic! I would love to see more from this man.
