Searchlight releases the first trailer for Poor Things
The clip sees Emma Stone being brought back to life in Yorgos Lanthimos’ most recent venture.
Searchlight has released the first trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ new film starring Emma Stone, titled Poor Things.
The film is based on the 1992 Alasdair Gray novel of the same name, with the trailer boasting a beautiful dreamscape and vibrant colors, showing glimpses of Stone and her costars Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, and Jerrod Carmichael. Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley, and Kathryn Hunter also star in the film.
Poor Things sees Stone and Lanthimos working together again after 2018’s The Favourite. Stone plays Bella Baxter, a woman who’s brought back from the dead by the eclectic scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter, played by Dafoe.
Desperate for freedom and autonomy over her life, Baxter runs away with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), where adventure ensues around the world. The Frankenstein-esque storyline shows Bella fighting for fairness and freedom.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos from a screenplay written by Tony McNamara, Poor Things was produced by Lanthimos, Stone, Dave McCary, Ali Herting, Ed Guiney, and Andrew Lowe. The movie will be out in cinemas on September 8th.
Some of Stone’s recent credits include 2021’s Disney Cruella, and the 2022 Lanthimos short film Bleat. She will also star alongside Dafoe in another Lanthimos anthology feature And.
