SEOUL, February 10 (AJP) - A couple of Hollywood stars starring in director Bong Joon-ho's latest film will visit Seoul next week, according to its distributor Warner Bros.

British actress Naomi Ackie, American actor Mark Ruffalo, and Korean-American actor Steven Yeun will meet fans, while participating in a slew of events to promote Bong's "Mickey 17," which is set for release here on the last day of this month.

The sci-film is Bong's first movie in several years since his multi-Oscar-winning film "Parasite" in 2020.

The film has also been invited for screening at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, which kicks off its 10-day run later this week.

The adaptation of the 2022 novel by Edward Ashton tells the story of a cloned space explorer sent to an ice-covered planet.
