Netflix has just dropped the main poster and trailer for sci-fi horror Parasyte: The Grey, giving audiences a nail-biting glimpse into the world of parasitic organisms and the relentless struggle of humanity against their invasion.
Expanding the universe of the original best-selling manga, Parasyte, by Hitoshi Iwaaki, the series tells a new story packed with action, philosophy and a dash of existential dread. Parasyte: The Grey is based on the original comic Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki, which sold an accumulated record of over 25 million copies in over 30 regions and countries with its ingenious imaginative storyline of a parasite permeating through a human brain and controlling its body, and philosophical message.
Citing the manga as one of the biggest works to influence his filmography, director Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, Hellbound) was keen to integrate its main message into his live-action series, extending the Parasyte universe to a new setting: Korea. To me, Parasyte is about coexistence, so I wanted Parasyte: The Grey to echo this theme. I questioned whether people could peacefully coexist with other organisms or mutants unlike themselves, he said.
I felt that the creators of Parasyte: The Grey greatly respected the original work, commented Iwaaki, At the same time, I could see unique creative branches and ideas throughout the series and enjoyed it as both the original author and as a true audience member'. Each episode's plot development is dynamic with a quick tempo that makes it very entertaining.
In Parasyte: The Grey, Su-in, a young woman caught between her humanity and parasitic influence, embodies this recurring theme of coexistence. As Heidi, the parasite that latched onto Su-in in the aftermath of a near-fatal accident, says, We would both be dead if we weren't together. You and I have no choice but to coexist.
But as a mutant that's half-parasite and half-human, Su-in doesn't fully belong to either side - neither the parasites seeking to take over human society nor the team dedicated to eradicating parasitic organisms, called The Grey, led by the determined Jun-kyung (Lee Jung-hyun). And it's this tension that plunges viewers into the heart of the conflict.
Depicting a cityscape besieged by writhing tentacles, the poster hints at the chaos and destruction wrought by the parasitic invaders, while also highlighting the resilience of the human spirit with Su-in (Jeon So-nee) standing defiantly alongside Kang-woo (Koo Kyo-hwan), Jun-kyung (Lee Jung-hyun), Chul-min (Kwon Hae-hyo), and Won-seok (Kim In-kwon) against the looming threat.
Meanwhile, the trailer teases a complex web of alliances and betrayals as Su-in navigates a society torn apart by the insidious influence of the parasites. With stunning visual effects that bring the otherworldly creatures to life in chilling detail, the trailer promises a visceral viewing experience that will keep audiences spellbound.
Discover if parasites and humans can coexist on Parasyte: The Grey on April 5, only on Netflix.
