Months ahead of its originally slated streaming release date, four-time Oscar winner Parasite has been bumped up Stan’s schedule and arrives in just a few days. For those who are yet to see what the hype is about, Bong Joon-ho’s history-making tragicomedy will be available on Stan (in all its 4K glory) from Easter Saturday, 11th April.
“Just two months after its historic Best Picture Oscar win, Stan is pleased to be making this acclaimed masterpiece from South Korean director Bong Joon-ho available early to all Stan subscribers this Easter,” said Nick Forward, Chief Content Officer at Stan.
This is obviously a win for those doing their part of help flatten the curve and staying home. Streaming has been our saviour during this whole COVID-19 crisis, and to have a film like Parasite available sooner rather than later is something to look forward to this long weekend.
