Overview
- The film stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis in a dark satire about conspiracists who abduct a pharmaceutical executive they believe is an alien.
- Stone shaved her head for the role after asking Lanthimos to do the same, saying the long lead‑up to filming was emotionally difficult.
- The head‑shaving sequence was filmed in a single take using synchronized VistaVision cameras and tight makeup continuity, with frequent retouches reported by the hair and makeup team.
- Written by Will Tracy from the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! and produced in part by Ari Aster, the remake relocates the premise to present‑day U.S. concerns.
- Coverage notes three Golden Globe nominations for best comedy, actress and actor, with theatrical releases reported in multiple countries and a 118‑minute, 16+‑rated cut.
