Jake and Tilda Serving Fashion on the 'Okja' Set

Category is: behind the scenes sci-fi satire realness.

Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer follow-up Okja already has one of the coolest casts since... well, Snowpiercer. And if the set photos from New York this weekend are any indication, the film itself will be even more outlandish than Joon-ho's last - at least as far as the cast is concerned.

The film returns Joon-ho to monster movie territory, but chaos and destruction to entertain when you have Tilda Swinton in and Jake Gyllenhaal in costumes like these? I don't know if Tilda is playing Taylor Swift and Jake is Rooster from a safari production of Annie, but this first look tells you everything you need to know about why you should be excited about Okja.

From a character design perspective, this could be a great showcase for the extremes of his talent. His performances are often defined by his charm, zaniness, or creepiness, but this could be a perfect fit to show off all three. He's the actor we should all be most excited to see let loose.

*sigh* When will Paul Dano be recognized as one of the best actors of his age? Lead actress Seo-Hyeon Ahn might be a major discovery here, though.

Netflix will be releasing Okja next year. After this glimpse, my feelings on the first look can be summed up perfectly by Tilda herself.

Craver - only the vaguest plot descriptions are out there, but aren't these images even more fun context free? lol

Gyllenhaal's mustache and knee highs are enough for me to demand a marriage proposal.
