Bong Joon Ho animation and future film projects

Overview

Director Bong Joon Ho is currently finalizing his first animated feature, ‘Ally’, which follows a piglet squid exploring the ocean surface. The project is reported to be the most expensive production in Korean film history, with an estimated cost of approximately $60 million.

Following the completion of post-production, theatrical release dates have been set for South Korea and France in July 2027. While a United States release window remains unestablished, there is speculation regarding a potential premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2027.

Upon the conclusion of the animation project, Bong Joon Ho intends to return to the crime and horror genres. He is reportedly considering several new story ideas, including a horror concept set within the Seoul subway system.
