Edward Ashton Reflects on “Mickey 17” (2025) | Creative Conversations

Author Edward Ashton (MICKEY7, ANTIMATTER BLUES) joins the show
to reflect on having his work adapted by director Bong Joon-Ho
into the 2025 film “Mickey 17.” In episode 346, Luke Elliott
& James Bailey add to their “Creative Conversations” series
where they discuss adaptations previously covered with someone
directly involved in their creation. Topics include the origins
of the Mickey7, why Ed would never use a teleporter, how his
cancer research and scientific background influences his writing,
the one thing Bong Joon-Ho told him to take from the set, his
interpretation of Mickey’s final vision in the film, and which
books of his he could see being adapted in the future.
