“It all starts with something magnificent” is a hell of a way to start a movie trailer, but we’d expect nothing less from Yorgos Lanthimos. The upcoming Bugonia marks the Oscar-winning director’s fourth feature collaboration with Emma Stone, and like with Poor Things, The Favourite, and Kinds of Kindness, the only thing that’s clear is something strange is afoot.
According to the official description, Bugonia is about what happens when “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.” Stone would be the aforementioned CEO/suspected alien, with Academy Award nominee/Friday Night Lights alumni Jesse Plemons starring as one of her kidnappers. The cast also includes Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.
Bugonia is set to premiere in theaters as a special limited engagement on October 24th, followed by a wide release on October 31st. Check out the trailer below, and also revisit the last time Lanthimos, Stone, and Plemons collaborated with our review of last year’s Kinds of Kindness.
