People are still coming down from the hype of Poor Things, but Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are already at Cannes promoting the premiere of their next film Kinds of Kindness. Now the two have been revealed to be teaming up again for another movie.
According to Collider, Lanthimos and Stone will be coming together for his next film called Bugonia. The plot is said to involve two conspiracy-obssesed young men who kidnap the CEO of a huge company, believing that she is an alien who has plans for destroying the Earth.
It’s every bit as bonkers you can expect from a filmmaker like Lanthimos.
Besides Stone, the movie will also be including Jesse Plemons—who wasn’t in Poor Things, but has worked with Lanthimos in his most recent project KOK.
Though a lot of people like to complain that the superhero genre has essentially killed cinema, we’re now seeing the rise of films in theaters that are geared toward more arthouse storytelling like Lanthimos’.
You’d think that he’s slow down after all these recent wins, but I’m excited to see his artwork evolve through the years.
KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Watch out for Kinds of Kindness when it comes to cinemas on June 21.
