The movie is been described as a bold and thrilling global adventure and when you look at the line-up includes Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal and Steven Yeun.

Whatever you do do not call Boon Jong-Ho’s movie a ‘monster movie’.The Korean director told EW he would prefer “a very shy and introverted animal. It’s a unique animal that we’ve not seen before.”

Netflix official synopsis describes Okja follows Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun), a young girl who must risk everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a massive animal named ‘Okja’.
