Oscar favorite Octavia Spencer has joined the cast of Snow Piercer for Korean director Joon-ho Bong.

The story is set in an alternate future, where a failed experiment to stop global warming results in a new Ice Age. The frigid climate has killed off all life on Earth, except for the passengers aboard a train dubbed Snow Piercer. A class system develops among the passengers on this train, which ignites a revolt. Octavia Spencer will portray a passenger who joins the uprising in order to save her son. Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, and Kang-ho Song also star.

Joon-ho Bong is directing Snow Piercer from his own original script. Chan-wook Park and Dooho Choi will produce.

We reported last month that Snow Piercer does not have distribution lined up yet, although production will begin in March.

Snowpiercer comes to theaters May 2013 and stars Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Kang-ho Song, Ewen Bremner, Ah-sung Ko. The film is directed by Joon-ho Bong.
