Emma Stone Introduces Extended "Poor Things" Trailer

"Poor Things," Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and Starring Oscar-Winner Emma Stone, Featuring a Sci-Fi Romantic Dramedy Twist on Frankenstein, Hits Theaters on December 8

In Yorgos Lanthimos' film 'Poor Things,' Emma Stone plays Bella Baxter, a character akin to Frankenstein, who is created by scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter, portrayed by Willem Dafoe.
'Poor Things' has a distinctly comedic edge; Stone introduces the film as a 'very, very funny film' and the trailers highlight humorous moments including Stone's character threatening a crying baby.
The film is based on Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel, wherein Bella drowns herself to escape her abusive husband. In the film, Bella is free from societal prejudices and stands firm for equality and liberation.
Major roles are performed by Mark Ruffalo, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, and Ramy Youssef. Margaret Qualley features prominently in the trailers.
Poor Things won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival where Lanthimos praised Stone’s contribution, stating, 'this film is her, in front and behind the camera.'
The movie is set to hit theaters on December 8, 2023, under the banner of Searchlight Pictures.
