Okja Trailer Reveals More Of The Huge, Adorable Creature
There's a new trailer for the upcoming Netflix movie Okja, and we're already sure this movie will reduce us to tears.
DIrected by Bong Joon-ho, and starring Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, and Jake Gyllenhaal, it follows a young girl named Mija (An Seo Hyun) who risks everything to prevent a powerful company from kidnapping her best friend: a huge, pig-like animal named Okja.
However, as the haunting choral rendition of the Nine Inch Nails song "Piggy" (by Scala & Kolacny Brothers) makes clear, this won't be an easy endeavor for Mija.
Here's the official synopsis: "For 10 idyllic years, young Mija (An Seo Hyun) has been caretaker and constant companion to Okja, a massive animal and an even bigger friend, at her home in the mountains of South Korea. But that changes when a family-owned multinational conglomerate Mirando Corporation takes Okja for themselves and transports her to New York, where image obsessed and self-promoting CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) has big plans for Mija's dearest friend. With no particular plan but single-minded in intent, Mija sets out on a rescue mission, but her already daunting journey quickly becomes more complicated when she crosses paths with disparate groups of capitalists, demonstrators and consumers, each battling to control the fate of Okja... while all Mija wants to do is bring her friend home."
Okja will premiere June 28 on Netflix. Check out everything else coming to the streaming service this month.
