Emma Stone remains a top contender for Best Actress. That is why fans are eager to see her next project. She is set to appear in Yorgos Lanthimos next film Kinds of Kindness.
Unlike Lanthimos’ previous films, this flick will be an anthology. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the 50-year-old filmmaker shared some important information about the film. He said:
“It’s a contemporary film, set in the US – three different stories, with four or five actors who play one part in each story, so they all play three different parts. It was almost like making three films, really.”
The Arizona native won’t be the only familiar face from Lanthimos’ films in the ensemble. Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley, who were in Poor Things with Stone, are also part of the cast. Joe Alwyn, known for his role in The Favourite, will reunite with the director as well.
Kinds of Kindness’ release date hasn’t been announced yet. But since filming finished a year ago, it’s highly probable it will come out by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
Watch Poor Things on Amazon Prime Video, available Feb 26th onwards.
