‘Bugonia’ Trailer: More Genre-Bending Chaos Erupts in New Film From Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone [Video]
Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is well known for his unusual cinematic output. His films are often bizarre, surreal, and darkly comedic. Many consider him an auteur whose work is instantly recognizable based on his distinctive style. A brand new teaser just dropped for his latest effort, Bugonia, and if the preview is any indication, this upcoming picture will likely resonate with fans of his work.
The director’s latest film sees him reteaming with previous collaborator Emma Stone. As fans surely remember, the pair worked together on the Oscar-winning effort Poor Things. That feature ended especially well for Stone, who took home the statuette for Best Actress. The flick won four Academy Awards and received a grand total of 11 nominations.
It’s tough to say with certainty how this latest outing will be received, but we’ll surely know more in the coming months. The flick will open in limited release on October 24, followed by an expanded release on October 31st.
We’ve shared the trailer for you to check out below. Have a look and be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section!
Lanthimos directs Bugonia from a screenplay by Will Tracy. Tracy will likely be familiar to horror fans as the co-writer of the celebrated horror comedy The Menu. He also scores a writing credit on several episodes of the esteemed HBO series Succession.
In addition to Stone in the lead role, the flick features Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.
The two cast members we’re most looking forward to seeing are Plemons (Breaking Bad) and Silverstone (The Lodge). Plemons is a chameleon who continues to surprise with each new effort. And Silverstone has been popping up in genre fare with a specifc frequency of late. It’s fascinating to see her branching out.
Plot crunch: Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.
If anything about the above premise seems familiar, that may be because Bugonia reimagines Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 film Save the Green Planet!
That’s just about all that we have for you at this juncture. Stay tuned to the site for more breaking news as it develops. If you’d like to keep up with me in the meantime, you can always find me on Threads as @FunWithHorror.
