WATCH: the new trailer for star-studded Netflix movie Okja
A new trailer and poster for Netflix original movie Okja has been released.
The film, starring Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lily Collins, Paul Dano and The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun, tells the story of Okja: a new species of animal which causes a global struggle when deciding how or what it should be used for.
The movie introduces new young star Seo Hyun as lead character Mija, who begins to care for Okja and build a friendship with the creature until Tilda Swinton attempts to seize it in order to revive the meat industry.
Okja is making its premiere in Cannes and has been the subject of much debate because of this, which has prompted Will Smith to speak out. It will hit Netflix on 28 June.
