Steven Yeun signs on for Sci-Fi Project 'Okja'
The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun has joined the science fiction film Okja, which has an impressive cast that includes Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, and Lily Collins.
The film is about a young girl (played by Seohyun An) who becomes friends with and raises a pig named Okja. Okja is genetically manufactured, and grows to an enormous size as a result. When the company who made him takes him back, the girl is intent on finding him and bringing him home.
