Celebrated Korean auteur Bong Joon Ho’s much-anticipated foray into 3D animated filmmaking is beginning to come into focus. The multi-Oscar winner and his producers on Thursday revealed a title, story summary, target release date and even a first-look image of the mysterious project, which he’s been developing since 2019 but has kept quiet about until now.
