Trailer Reactions: Snowpiercer (2014)

Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer is finally here! After premiering at last year's Cannes festival, this U.S. debut film from the South Korean filmmaker (The Host, Mother) got acquired by the Weinstein Company and still, it took so long for it to make it in theaters. At last we get to see the first trailer of Snowpiercer, an adaptation of a French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob about a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off all life on the planet except a lucky few who boards on the Snowpiercer, a train that travels across the globe which is separated by class systems. It looks utterly suspenseful, emotionally-charged, and visually grim. There is such a huge roster of exceptionally talented and underrated actors who are in this like Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, Kang-ho Song, Ed Harris and etc, etc. It's all going to be so great! Can't wait to see it at the opening night of the Los Angeles Film Festival! Snowpiercer comes out June 27!
