Searchlight Pictures has shared a new featurette for the Frankenstein-inspired Poor Things focussing on Emma Stone’s Bella – the young woman brought back to life by Willem Dafoe’s unorthodox scientist; check it out below along with a new poster for the upcoming film, which reunites STone with The Favourite director Yorgos Lanthimos…
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes 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 (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark 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.
Featuring in the cast of Poor Things are Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, and Christopher Abbott.
Poor Things is set to release in the US on December 8th 2023 and in the UK on January 12th 2024.
