Awesome ‘Snowpiercer’ Extended Animated Clip

With still no word on an international release date for Bong Joon Ho’s English language debut, SNOWPIERCER, we’ll have to settle for this excellent little animated prequel which gives us exposition on the world in which the film is st. SNOWPIERCER sees a class struggle aboard a train that houses the last of humanity. Survivors share the train as it plows through an ice age, but it soon becomes apparent that those at the front have it considerably better off than those at the back. Bong Joon Ho is known for his classic films MEMORIES OF MURDER, THE HOST, and MOTHER, and early word suggests that SNOWPIERCER will certainly join them in terms of quality.

The short animation may be stilted and similar to many PS3 cut scenes, but it captures the dark aesthetic perfectly, as well as beginning to set the scene. It certainly wets the appetite, even for this eagerly awaiting fan.

SNOWPIERCER is getting a 1st August release date in South Korea, but other territories are yet to get a release date. It stars Chris Evans, Song Kang Ho, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Ewen Bremner, Ko Ah Sung, and Alison Pill.
