Bong Joon-ho's First Animated Film 'Ally' Gets 2027 Release from Neon
Neon will distribute 'Ally,' the first animated movie from 'Parasite' director Bong Joon-ho. The film will hit theaters in 2027. This marks the sixth time Bong has worked with Neon.
Neon has bought the North American rights to distribute 'Ally,' marking director Bong Joon-ho's first venture into animated filmmaking. The movie is set to open in theaters in 2027.
This partnership reunites Bong with Neon CEO Tom Quinn for their sixth collaboration together. Their most famous project was 'Parasite,' which made Oscar history in 2020 as the first foreign language film to win Best Picture.
The new deal comes seven years after their last major collaboration on 'Parasite.' That film swept the Academy Awards and brought Korean cinema into the global spotlight.
Neon has become known for distributing award-winning international films and helping foreign directors reach American audiences. The company's track record with Bong's work makes them a natural choice for his animated debut.
Bong Joon-ho made history when 'Parasite' became the first foreign film to win Best Picture. His return to animation could bring his unique storytelling style to a new format that reaches wider audiences.
