Jake and Ron welcome back to the podcast Edward Ashton, author of the just-released Antimatter Blues, which is a sequel to Mickey 7 and published by St. Martin's Press. As most of you already know, Mickey 7 is being developed into a movie directed by Oscar-winning director of Parasite, Bong Joon-ho. He is also writing the screenplay. The title role is being portrayed by the highly versatile actor Robert Pattinson.
The movie's release date is scheduled for March, 2024. The movie itself will be called Mickey 17. Mickey 7 was one of our favorite sci-fi books of last year. Last year, NPR called it one of the best books of 2022. Mickey 7 received high praise from two of our favorite authors. Jonathan Mayberry called it "Mind-bending and powerful. This is why we read science fiction." Jason Pargin called it "Unique and thought-provoking." We were so excited to chat with Edward again and to learn about the creative process for Antimatter Blues. Definitely a worthy sequel to Mickey 7! We reached him at his home, a cabin in upstate New York.
