Vulture shared the first clip from Radius-TWC’s June 27th release of Bong Joon-ho’s absolutely phenomenal Snowpiercer.
It is now confirmed that U.S. audiences will be treated to the original director’s cut, which had caused a rift between director in studio over the past year.
The film takes place, “In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine.”
Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Octavia Spencer, Alison Pill, Song Kang-ho, Ewen Bremner, and Kenny Doughty all star.
The site explains the clip:
‘Snowpiercer’ takes place on a futuristic train that hurtles around the frozen Earth carrying the only survivors of this post-apocalyptic wasteland, including a band of have-nots in the back of the train (led by Chris Evans) and the comparatively well-to-do folks in the front, who’ve got Tilda Swinton as their mouthpiece and worship the train’s mysterious, unseen inventor, a man named Wilfred. When Evans and his crew decide that the only way to effect a revolution is to fight their way towards the front, it’s up to Swinton to clear her phlegmy throat and give a speech in an attempt to quell their uprising. It doesn’t go so well, as you’ll see in this priceless clip of Swinton’s big confrontation with Evans. Was it something she said?
