Neon has picked up the North American rights to writer-director Bong Joon Ho’s debut animated feature film, Ally.
The South Korean filmmaker returns to Neon after the release of Parasite, which earned four Oscar trophies, including for best picture. Ally is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2027, with Neon giving the film a wide theatrical release across North America later next year.
In the works since 2019, Ally marks Bong’s first foray in 3D animation. He co-wrote the screenplay with 36-year-old filmmaker Jason Yu, a protégé who directed the well-received Korean horror feature Sleep from 2023.
