            It’s hard not to be excited for Bong Joon Ho’s (Snowpiercer, The Host) Netflix film, Okja. The teaser was brilliant giving a glimpse of the titular monster along with Tilda Swinton and our star, An Seo Hyun and now we have new images for you from the film, that not only gives a better look at those stars but also, a first look at Jake Gyllenhaal.

            Okja follows a young girl named Mija who has spent her life taking care of a giant monster named Okja in the mountains of South Korea. Unfortunately, the Mirando Corporation, a multinational conglomerate takes Okja for themselves as Mija sets out on a journey to rescue her friend. The pictures are just regular shots but the cast for this film is truly spectacular. I’m incredibly excited and am anxiously awaiting a full trailer.

            Check out the images for Okja below! The film stars Hyun, Swinton, Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Giancarlo Esposito, Steven Yeun and Lily Collins. Okja premiers on Netflix on June 28^th!
