Yorgos Lanthimos Figures He 3 Films Away From Hanging With Emma Stone Outside Work
ATHENS, GREECE—Longing for the day they might cross the threshold from work friends to real friends, director Yorgos Lanthimos reportedly calculated Tuesday that he was only three films away from getting to hang out with Emma Stone outside of work. 'I can feel it, I'm just one twisted period dramedy and two surrealist nightmares away from her agreeing to drinks on my patio,' said Lanthimos, who admitted that he had hoped casting Stone in Bugonia , the pair's fourth and latest feature-film collaboration, would have given the two artists more conversational fodder beyond common shop talk. 'When I first asked her to get coffee with me when we were working on The Favourite , she blew me off, but on the set of Poor Things , she waved at me in the parking lot. Then, when we were making Kinds Of Kindness , we had a solid interaction about the best kind of nuts at the craft service table. So things are headed in the right direction, but we're not there yet. Once I find the right project, we'll be gabbing over sushi in no time. Maybe something set at a 19th-century diving academy.' Lanthimos added that it would just be nice to hang out with someone other than Mark Ruffalo for once.

Emma Stone is kidnapped by Jesse Plemons in trailer for ‘Bugonia,' their latest film with Yorgos Lanthimos
By the looks of the first trailer for 'Bugonia,' Emma Stone's latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos will be just as brilliantly bizarre as its predecessors. 'Bugonia,' an English-language remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy 'Save the Green Planet!,' follows two conspiracy theorists who believe Stone's high-powered chief executive character is an alien planning to destroy planet Earth — so they kidnap her. Stone and Lanthimos have previously worked together on 'The Favourite' (2018), 'Poor Things' (2023) and 'Kinds of Kindness' (2024). 'Bugonia' marks their third consecutive film in three years. The trailer — released Thursday by Focus Features — opens with a voiceover, a metaphor and a shot of a beehive. 'The workers gather pollen for the queen,' Jesse Plemons, who worked with Lanthimos and Stone in 'Kinds of Kindness,' says as the trailer cuts to Stone's swaggering CEO. After a quippy kidnapping montage with Plemons and Aidan Delbis' characters set to Green Day's 'Basket Case,' Stone is shown lying unconscious in a bed. Jarring chords alternate with action-packed footage of fist fights and police chases, all framed in Lanthimos' quintessential style. 'How can you tell she's an alien?' Delbis asks. Plemons replies, 'Well, the signs are obvious.' The conspiracy theory — and the truth about the CEO's extraterrestrial status — remain anything but obvious in this initial teaser; fans will have to wait for the film's release. 'Bugonia' is set for a limited run on Oct. 24 before expanding wide Oct. 31. Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone round out the cast.
