Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Dogtooth) is back with Poor Things, a Frankenstein-like tale based on the 1992 novel by Alistair Gray.
Emma Stone stars alongside Willem Dafoe in Poor Things, which Searchlight is bringing to theaters on December 8, 2023. While you wait, find a new poster below.
Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott, and Mark Ruffalo also star.
Lanthimos’ latest tells “the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.”
Poor Things has been rated “R” for “Strong and pervasive sexual content, graphic nudity, disturbing material, gore, and language.”
Stone previously starred in Lanthimos’ ruthless period comedy The Favourite, marking a reunion between the actor, director, and screenwriter Tony McNamara (“The Great,” Cruella).
