Emma Stone Filmed a Secret Movie with "Poor Things" Director Yorgos Lanthimos

Emma Stone is drawing a lot of hype and attention with her performance in Yorgos Lanthimos' latest movie, "Poor Things".

It appears that Stone may well have become Lanthimos' muse, with the latest collaboration marking their third.

The movie most certainly won't be their last, as number four is due to come out, and number five is in development.

In a recent interview with Cineuropa, Lanthimos disclosed that he had quietly directed a new movie, marking a return to his homeland, Greece.

The yet-to-be-titled project stars Stone as the lead and was shot by Robbie Ryan (who is also familiar to the pair after performing the same role on The Favourite and Poor Things).

Lanthimos didn't divulge details about the movie, merely mentioning that it is "much simpler and very different from Poor Things because that story needed a particular style."

Lanthimos and Stone have also shot an anthology movie entitled "AND" but that was shot in New Orleans and is a different project altogether.

The pair had already worked together on "The Favourite" in 2018, which saw Stone nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards, before reuniting to film Bleat, a short film set on a Greek island.

"AND" is due for release sometime in 2024, and sees Stone star alongside the likes of Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe (who also appears in Poor Things), Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau.

"Poor Things" made its global debut at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 1st. Following the world premiere, it is set to be featured at the Telluride Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, and the BFI London Film Festival.

The movie was initially slated for a September 8 release but was postponed to its December date due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

"Poor Things" has received universal acclaim from critics, many of whom have heralded it as a career-best performance from Stone, as well as saluting the "outrageous" comedy elements of the story, which follows a young woman from Victorian times who, after being resurrected haphazardly by a demented scientist following her suicide, flees with a lawyer in a bid to liberate herself.
