Overview

  • The film premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival, and Focus Features released the first official trailer.
  • Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons lead a remake of Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 cult film, following two conspiracy believers who kidnap a CEO they suspect is an alien.
  • Stone shaved her head for the role and said the change was “the easiest thing in the world.”
  • Yorgos Lanthimos called the movie a reflection of current realities, citing technology, misinformation, war and climate change.
  • U.S. rollout is planned for October through Focus Features, with outlets variously reporting a limited Oct. 24 opening and a wider Oct. 31 expansion.
