Here’s Tilda Swinton Talking About The Nightmares a Pig Might Have
If you’ve ever wanted to see the Academy Award-winning actress talk about where the swine subconscious may wonder, then today is your lucky day.
“We can not know for certain what a pig’s nightmares are like,” says Tilda Swinton in a new video, but Swinton, in character at least, is willing to hazard a guess. Yes, if you’ve ever wanted to see the Academy Award-winning actress talk about where the swine subconscious may wonder, then today is your lucky day.
The clip is a just released promo for the actresses’ upcoming movie Okja. The Netflix production reunites Swinton with her Snowpiercer director Bong Joon Ho , and centers on the bond between a young girl and a mysterious, genetically-engineered beast.
As it turns out though, that beast escaped from the labs of the multinational conglomerate owned by Swinton’s character. Swinton plays Lucy Mirando, president of the Mirando Corporation, a company that, when it’s not secretly playing God with new forms of animal life in its labs, is apparently positioned in the marketplace as a wholesome and socially responsible company that makes products that ease the anxieties of even the most over-the-top Whole Foods moms. When even free ranger livestock isn’t enough for you, there is, in this fictional world anyway, roaming dreaming livestock as well.
Okja will be one of two Netflix-backed films to premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival. It will make it debut on the streaming service on June 28th.
Swinton is joined in the flick by Paul Dano, Jake Gyllenhaal, Giancarlo Esposito, Lily Collins, Walking Dead favorite Steven Yeun and teen favorite Devon Bostick. Though the real star of the film might be 13-year-old South Korean actress An Seo Hyun.
She stars as the little girl who bonds with the escaped beast. Swinton’s character of course eventually drops the friendly mogul facade, and makes it her mission to recapture the animal. A proper teaser trailer has already been released.
