Snowpiercer: The Art and the Making of the Film is the official companion to Oscar®-winning Bong Joon Ho’s English-language debut film – one of the most acclaimed sci-fi movies of the century so far.


 

Before 2019’s four-time Oscar®-winning Parasite came Bong Joon Ho’s iconic English-language debut, Snowpiercer. The dystopian sci-fi thriller is set seventeen years after the world has frozen over and what’s left of humanity lives on a train that travels the globe on a continuous loop. The story follows one man, played by Chris Evans, as he risks everything to lead a revolt to defy his preordained place in society and take control of the engine.
 
Simon Ward is a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. His books include Okja: The Art and Making of the Film, The Art and Making of Alien: Covenant, Aliens: The Set Photography, and Making Moon: A British Sci-Fi Cult Classic. He also wrote the introduction to Modesty Blaise: The Grim Joker and has provided text and other materials for various Blu-rays.
