Heat Vision says the film “is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.”
Spencer will play a passenger on the train who joins the revolt to save her son. Joon-ho co-wrote the script for the film, produced by Park Chan-wook and Dooho Choi.
Kelly Masterson wrote the most recent draft for the project, based on the French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige.”
