Exciting news for fans of Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos! Their latest collaboration, the sci-fi anthology movie “Kinds of Kindness,” has secured a release date from Searchlight Pictures. Mark your calendars for June 21, when this highly anticipated film will hit the theaters.
This announcement comes on the heels of Stone’s Oscar triumph for her lead role as Bella Baxter in Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” The dynamic duo has previously worked together on the critically acclaimed “The Favourite” in 2018, which garnered 10 Oscar nominations, including a nod for Stone’s supporting performance.
“Kinds of Kindness” boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring talents like Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer, alongside Stone.
During a recent British Film Institute event in January, Lanthimos teased audiences about what they can expect from “Kinds of Kindness.” With a hint of mystery, he revealed that the film consists of three different stories, and they were in the process of finishing the edit. However, he refrained from divulging too many details, stating that he wouldn’t want to limit the audience’s interpretations by narrowing it down to his own perspective.
The success of “Poor Things” has been remarkable, with the film earning 11 Oscar nominations and four wins, including Stone’s second Academy Award for Best Actress, following her triumph with “La La Land” in 2016. Additionally, “Poor Things” emerged victorious in the categories of Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and has crossed the $100 million mark at the global box office.
Apart from “Kinds of Kindness,” Stone has another exciting project lined up. She will star alongside heavyweights like Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Austin Butler in Ari Aster’s A24 Western film “Eddington,” which recently commenced production.
With such promising projects on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Emma Stone’s star power continues to shine brightly in the entertainment industry.
