Robert Pattinson’s Shocking Voice Acting Flips in Mickey 17 Fails to Impress

Robert Pattinson Embarks on a Sci-Fi Adventure in "Mickey 17"

In an exciting turn of events, Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon-ho has tapped the talented Robert Pattinson to star in his upcoming sci-fi film, "Mickey 17". The movie is about a character who gets cloned and killed multiple times in outer space, and Pattinson is bringing his A-game to the project.

Pattinson, known for his versatility as an actor, has reportedly experimented with various voices for the clones, but director Bong reportedly told him to tone it down. "My initial idea was to do impressions of Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville," Pattinson shared in an interview with Empire. "I love Steve-O’s voice. We did it on the first read-through. And Bong was like, ‘That voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard.’ I was like, ‘Is that a good thing?’ He was like, ‘No.’"

To differentiate each clone, Pattinson drew inspiration from a canine perspective. "He’s kind of like a dog with a complete lack of self-worth," he explained. "He just keeps turning up, reporting for duty. But then I hope the reveal is that it’s a combination of deep, misguided guilt, and also survival. It’s him just saying, ‘I’ll just keep lowering my expectations the whole time.’"

For the voices of Mickey 17 and 18, Pattinson surprisingly turned to the world of animation. "Mickey 17 is a little like Stimpy," he said, referencing the absurdist 90s Nickelodeon show about a chihuahua and a cat. "When 18 comes in, it’s a little bit more like Ren." The film, "Mickey 17", is set to hit theaters on January 31, 2025.
