Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 train-based, class-warfare themed, action-packed dramaSnowpierceris a modern sci-fi classic, so it’s with an understandable amount of anticipation that we look forward to the writer/director’s newest project,Okja.

The creature feature, somewhat shrouded in mystery even after today’s first look provided by Netflix in a teaser trailer, is decidedly different from Bong Joon-ho’s 2006 horror-slanted effortThe Host.

Whereas that film focused on a creature created unintentionally through negligence and pollution,Okja’s beastie feels like a very intentional synthesis of nature and science, as described by starTilda Swintonin the trailer.
