Following a teaser last month, Searchlight Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for director Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest offbeat comedy, Poor Things, starring Emma Stone.

The film, based on Alasdair Grey’s novel of the same name, is a sort of Big-meets-Reanimator as Stone plays Bella Baxter, a woman who — thanks to her scientist father, played Frankenstein-style by Willem Dafoe — is brought back to life after dying, but with a caveat: Her brain has been replaced with that of her unborn child.

Searchlight Pictures have released one of the most intriguing and visually stunning trailers of the year in the first full look at the sci-fi take on the Frankenstein principle, Poor Things. As one of the most unique-looking movies of the year, the movie from director Yorgos Lanthimos stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a woman resurrected from the dead by a disfigured scientist (Willem Dafoe), who goes on a journey of the rediscovery of life, love and liberation. Check out the new trailer below.

Poor Things promises to be another glorious mish-mash of genres from the filmmaker behind the likes of the psychological family drama Dogtooth, the absurdist black comedy romantic drama The Lobster, and the slow-burning psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer. This time, Poor Things will combine sci-fi, romance, and comedy, crafting a beautiful cinematic monster that will no doubt boast another stellar performance from Emma Stone at its center.
