Endless Robert Pattinsons. We've dreamed of days like this. The actor's long-awaited film by Parasite director Bong Joon-ho is finally here.

Sure, 17 or 18 Robert Pattinsons sounds nice, but things go awry (though, to be honest, weren't they already?) when multiple versions of him are alive at once.

Starring: Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette
