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.

It's like they found the worst dad shorts imaginable and yet his legs still look appealing. Fascinating...
Let's all face it, we all love Tilda and all but the reason for existence and reading this post are jake's thighs.
Tilda looks so glamorous!
Ok what is OKJA actually about?
Forget that I want to see this movie now!
Lol you're so correct tho; The Supreme Tilda is giving me taylor swift snake realness in there.
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.
Who cares about Jake! TILDA TILDA TILDA
Every time I think they've hit peak Tilda fashion...
I saw this being filmed in the Financial District. It looked truly bizarre.
I want to see this. Bong Joon-Ho puts my ass in the seat!
I'm not really a Jake Gyllenhaal fan. But after this post, I AM a fan of his legs ...
Highly energetic blog, I liked that a lot.,
