Director Bong Joon-ho can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as his sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer finally has arelease date.
Following a long battle with the Weinstein Company over the final cut of the film, the sci-fi thriller will hit U.S. theaters on June 27. The movie has already played everywhere overseas, but the wait may be worth it, if the international acclaim is any indication.

It still won’t be all smooth sailing, though. Snowpiercer will open in limited release that weekend alongside the latest Transformers movie. The number of theaters it plays in each subsequent week is contingent on how it performs at the box office, so be sure to catch it early just in case, even though the movie has star power with the likes of Chris Evans, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Kang-ho Song and Tilda Swinton.
Snowpiercer takes place in a future where a failed global warming experiment kills off most life on the planet. A class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe by a perpetual-motion engine.
