Shortly after it wrapped filming, The Weinstein Company acquired the rights to distribute the film in a number of countriesis based on the 1982 French graphic novel, created by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette.
they have a more maximalist incarnation. Set just before the 18th anniversary of the train's departure, Bong’s film follows the lower-class revolution reluctantly led by Chris Evans’ tortured Curtis, who’s seen and done things that would, quite frankly, horrify Captain America.

How is snowpiercer forgotten there is a spin-off TV show that aired this year
One of my favourite films, found by accident not even realising it existed. Had never seen any trailers or advertisements for it. Don’t want to watch the tv show because I loved the film so much and fear it just won’t be as good.
