Parasite director’s next movie has already got the seal of approval from its writer: “I can’t express how jazzed I am right now”

Some authors can be a little precious whenever their books are given the big-screen treatment; Stephen King was notoriously disappointed with Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, Roald Dahl wasn’t keen on Willa Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and P. L. Travers banned Disney from adapting any of the follow-up novels after 1964’s Mary Poppins. 

Writer Edward Ashton, though, couldn’t be more “jazzed” about Parasite director Bong Joon-ho’s take on his2022 sci-fi outing Mickey7.
