Having teamed up to Oscar-winning effect on The Favourite and Poor Things, and continued their creative partnership in style with Kinds Of Kindness last summer, director-star duo Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are gearing up to take us on another wild cinematic ride with sci-fi comedy Bugonia, an English-language reimagining of Korean cult classic Save The Green Planet. In the film, Stone plays a high-powered CEO who gets kidnapped by two conspiracists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) who believe she's *checks notes* an evil alien bent on destroying Earth. Naturally. And you can check out the wackadoodle teaser trailer below;

Now there's a teaser trailer. Fish eye lenses, 'Basket Case' needle drop, Jesse Plemons keeping bees and rugby tackling Stone, and even a spot of off-kilter jump-dancing drop us right into the latest bizarro world from Yorgos Lanthimos, who's showing no signs of suddenly turning normal on us now. And honestly,...

Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons reunite in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, a twisted tale of alien paranoia and corporate power.

The first teaser for Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film, ‘Bugonia’, has landed—and it’s as unsettling as it is absurd. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, the dark comedy thriller explores a conspiracy-driven plot involving the kidnapping of a high-profile tech CEO, believed by her captors to be an alien in disguise.

From the very first frames, the teaser delivers Lanthimos’ unmistakable touch: sterile office spaces, uncanny silences, and bursts of dry, awkward humour. As the narrative unfolds, Stone portrays a composed and cryptic executive whose eerie calm only amplifies the suspicions of her abductors. Plemons and Aidan Delbis play the conspiracy-obsessed duo, walking a tightrope between menace and madness.

‘Bugonia’ marks another bold collaboration between Lanthimos and Stone, following their acclaimed work on The Favourite and Poor Things. This time,...

Expect more Yorgos Lanthimos strangeness in Bugonia: a tale of conspiracy and kidnapping. Here’s the first trailer:

Following The Favourite and Poor Things, director Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone’s creative partnership continues in their latest film, Bugonia. Also re-joining the fray will be Jesse Plemons who also starred in Lanthimos’ last film, the often dark and often brilliant Kinds Of Kindness.

Here’s what we know about Bugonia so far: it’s based on the 2003 Korean sci-fi comedy, Save The Green Planet, directed by Jang Joon-hwan, and also features appearances from Alicia Silverstone and comedian Stavros Halkias.

The script is by Will Tracy, writer of 2022’s excellent satire, The Menu. The story follows ‘two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.’

Lanthimos has left Searchlight Pictures for this project, the studio...

The trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos‘ new movie has been released!

On Thursday (June 26), Focus Features debuted the trailer for the 51-year-old Oscar-nominated filmmaker’s latest movie Bugonia, which stars his frequent collaborator Emma Stone along with Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.

Keep reading to find out more…Here’s a brief synopsis of the movie: “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.”

The new movie marks the fourth project for Yorgos and Emma. Last year, the duo and Jesse all worked together on film Kinds of Kindness.

Later this summer, Emma will bestarring alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Austin Butler in Ari Aster’s new movie Eddington, which hits theaters July 18. Watch the latest trailer here!

Bugonia will first hit theaters with a special limited engagement on October...

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...

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are collaborating again, this time on Bugonia, an eerie, dark-comedy remake of the 2003 South Korean sci-fi film Save the Green Planet!, written and directed by Jang Joon-Hwan.

The film’s synopsis from Will Tracy’s screenplay is as follows: “Two conspiracy obsessed young men (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company (Emma Stone), convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.”

In addition to Stone, Plemons and Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone round out the cast.

The trailer is equal parts unsettling, outlandish and zany. Although its veneer is sheer absurdity, the film’s essence seems to be a dark commentary on economic disparity. While it’s unclear is Stone’s character is actually an alien, she appears like an unbothered Queen Bee, unfazed by the struggling working class.

The English-language version of the Korean...

The acclaimed Greek film-maker and the American actor have previously worked on The Favourite, Poor Things and, most recently, Kinds of Kindness. The relationship has netted Stone an Oscar nomination and a win.

Well, actually just this one is one of the few times that I read a script that I hadn’t generated or I hadn’t been developing for a long time, and I was immediately drawn to it. And then I did a little bit of work with the writer Will Tracy in order to make it a little bit more my own. It’s just one of these things that something clicks in the story,...

“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.

The Oscar nominee directs “Bugonia,” a bee-centric reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 sci-fi satire “Save the Green Planet!” Of course, in true Lanthimos fashion, he is reuniting with muse and collaborator Emma Stone, who plays a high-powered pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by two eco extremists, played by “Kinds of Kindness” star Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis. Lanthimos’ “Killing of a Sacred Deer” alum Alicia Silverstone co-stars, along with Stavros Halkias.

"We are in a fight against evil." A24 has revealed one final official trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, set to crash into theaters this July. Ready to watch them fight? This premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews - some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle on it. The film features Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle, William Belleau, plus Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the small town of Eddington, Nm.

Ari Aster is a master of unsettling cinema. While he already captured anxiety in Beau is Afraid, he harkens back to the good ol’ days of the Covid-19 pandemic (when reality seemed to be spiraling) in his new film Eddington. Aster pits Joaquin Phoenix against Pedro Pascal in what’s being called “The first truly modern western.” A24 has released a final trailer just before its release on July 18, and the tension is boiling up!

Here is the official plot of Eddington: “In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.” In addition to Phoenix, who previously teamed with Aster for 2023’s Beau is Afraid, and Pascal, the cast also features Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Clifton Collins Jr., Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, and Michael Ward.

Eddington premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival,...

A24 has revealed the final trailer for the Eddington movie, the upcoming Western black comedy written and directed by Ari Aster. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 16.

Opening in theaters on July 18, the Eddington movie has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for strong violence, some grisly images, language, and graphic nudity.

From writer-director Ari Aster comes a modern Western and paranoid thriller set in the American Southwest during the tumultuous summer of 2020. Isolated and sheltered in place, in a global pandemic, a nation under pressure found itself sifting reality through the haze of social media and lost its collective mind.

Eddington stars Joaquin Phoenix as small-town sheriff Joe Cross, who runs for mayor when progressive incumbent Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) attempts to modernize their dusty hamlet by attracting a new artificial-intelligence data center.

Aster’s...

Ari Aster is back with a brand-new film, and it’s nothing like his past horror hits. His latest movie, Eddington, brings together a big cast in a strange mix of Western, comedy, and drama, all set during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. A new trailer just dropped, giving audiences their first real look at the unusual world Aster has created.

The story is set in a fictional town in New Mexico in May 2020, when lockdowns and fear were at their peak. The film follows Sheriff Joe Cross, played by Joaquin Phoenix, as tensions rise between him and the town’s mayor, Ted Garcia, played by Pedro Pascal.

Their personal and political feud quickly spirals, creating chaos in the small town. Emma Stone plays Joe’s wife, and Austin Butler appears as a mysterious newcomer who adds more trouble to an already tense situation.

Ari Aster is stepping into new territory with his latest movie Eddington, and people are already talking about it. Known for making unsettling horror films like Hereditary and Midsommar, Aster has now made something different—a dark comedy with a Western vibe set in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Eddington takes place in a small fictional town in New Mexico during May 2020, right when the pandemic was in full swing. The story centers around Sheriff Joe Cross, played by Joaquin Phoenix, and Mayor Ted Garcia, played by Pedro Pascal.

These two men don’t get along, and when their conflict reaches a boiling point, it throws the whole town into chaos. Emma Stone plays Joe’s wife Louise, and Austin Butler shows up as a mysterious outsider named Vernon Jefferson Peak. It’s not really clear what Vernon wants, and that adds more tension to the mix.

The movie...

The final trailer for Eddington previews a fight against evil.

The fourth film from writer-director Ari Aster is a contemporary western set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Love him or hate him, nobody can ever accuse Ari Aster of shying away from discomfort.

The writer/director first attracted industry attention for “The Strange Thing About the Johnsons,” a short film about father-son incest. Then came his feature debut “Hereditary,” with one of the most grotesquely shocking twists of the 21st century, and an eventual box-office phenomenon. For anyone who’s ever felt even a twinge of anxiety, the brilliant depravity of “Beau Is Afraid” requires no further elaboration.

To fall back on one of horror marketing’s favorite cliches, the man has a twisted mind. But when he fled his New York home to be closer to family in New Mexico during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic, Aster began to see things that even he found disturbing. As the virus shoved everyone deeper into our own digital rabbit holes, with algorithms spoon-feeding us content designed...

Before Pedro Pascal became the galaxy’s favorite bounty hunter, he was just a broke actor with a dream and a vampire cameo on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yep, long before The Mandalorian or The Last of Us, Pascal showed up in a single episode of Buffy as a college freshman named Eddie who, in classic Buffy fashion, gets turned into a bloodsucker and dusted just minutes later. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role, but one that saved his career in more ways than one.

Pascal, credited as Pedro Balmaceda back then, landed the role in the Season 4 premiere titled The Freshman. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight (via Hola!), he said, “I had less than $7 in my account and a residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day,...

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds nearly shared the spotlight in Tim Burton’s film. However, the casting stars didn’t quite align.

That flick told the real tale of painter Margaret Keane and her spouse, Walter.

The Titanic actress, Kate Winslet, is one of the hardest-working and dedicated actresses who has given back-to-back hits to Hollywood. Despite achieving so much success in her career, she has often been scrutinized for her weight. In the initial days of her career, she used to get very insecure about how she looked, and even her weight scale used to decide what kind of roles she would do.

However, Winslet never once thought of getting Ozempic in her diet to lose the extra pounds. Rather, she didn’t even know what that was until, during one of her interviews, a reporter gave in some details about it. The actress revealed how late Joan Rivers once joked about her weight and said that it was she who sank the Titanic. Scroll ahead to find out her take on weight transformation.

Spoiler Alert: The following article discusses major plot points from Final Destination 3 and Final Destination: Bloodlines.

So, what went wrong? According to producer Craig Perry (per Digital Spy), they had the plan in place. They even wrote it out, and one of the two actors was ready to go

Which Game Show Did Emma Show Want To Participate In? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

It turns out that Emma Stone’s ultimate Hollywood dream has nothing to do with red carpets or golden statues. In a throwback from early 2024, the Poor Things star revealed something fans didn’t see coming: she applied to be a contestant on Jeopardy! every single year, and keeps getting turned down.

The Oscar-winner with two Golden Globes and three SAG Awards still hasn’t cracked the clue board. “That’s my favorite show. That’s my dream,” Stone said during her appearance on the Awards Circuit podcast. According to her, it’s not as easy as just signing up. To get on the legendary game show, you’ve got to pass a quiz, and you can only take it once a year. She’s been at it every June. So far? No luck.

“They don’t tell you how you did,...

Get ready for a serious lineup! Eddington features an absolutely stacked cast, bringing together some of the most compelling talents working today. They include Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, and Clifton Collins Jr. Joining this powerhouse ensemble are Austin Butler and Emma Stone. Taking place in the stormy May of 2020, a small town in New Mexico sets the scene for a tense standoff that quickly escalates into a full-blown conflict between a sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) who works for the people and a mayor (Pedro Pascal) who has gone rogue. What began as a local dispute soon intensifies into a neighbor-vs-neighbor contest, seemingly destined to draw even more people into the fray. This appears to mirror the current situation in America on a number of fronts—troubled, divided, but without any clear leaders. This first-look gives a deeper view into the extraordinary world that Aster has crafted.
