‘Hope’ First Look Clip: Na Hong-Jin & NEON’s Sci-Fi Thriller Featuring Alicia Vikander & Michael Fassbender [Cannes]

Last month, there was the exciting news that Na Hong-jin‘s upcoming sci-fi thriller with time-travel elements, “Hope,” was acquired by the fine folks over at NEON (“Parasite,” “Anora”), and the Cannes-bound film has landed a first-look clip that has made its way to us.

As stated previously, the new movie “follows a police officer who is alerted to the news that a tiger has appeared in the hills, sending the town into chaos. But what begins as a local emergency soon spirals into a deeper, more terrifying mystery, one that forces the town’s residents to confront the unknown.”
