“He’s dying to save mankind”

Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an ‘expendable’ - a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong.

Space colonist Mickey Barnes tries to survive in a beachhead colony on an alien world. The job he reluctantly signed up for is to be ‘expendable’, undertaking all of the most dangerous tasks necessary for a mission to colonize the ice world Niflheim. When one Mickey dies, another is cloned in his place with most of his memories intact, but at significant cost to the colony. Mickey’s survival difficulties mount as the colony struggles for resources, native life forms become increasingly threatening, and circumstances result in the accidental creation of two Mickeys. He goes head-to-head with a new multiple, Mickey 18.”
