Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos on ‘Poor Things,’ Crazy Rehearsals and Never Making a Taylor Swift Joke Again
Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos discuss reuniting for "Poor Things," working on the film's feminist edge and heading back to the Oscars together.
In a way, “Poor Things” is the culmination of Lanthimos’ earlier films, almost all of which fall into the “WTF did I just watch?” category — notably 2009’s “Dogtooth,” the tale of cloistered children seeking some understanding of the world through sex and ’80s VHS tapes; and the before mentioned “The Lobster,” from 2015, which deals with the cheery premise that single folks have 45 days to find a new mate or they will be turned into animals. Ruffalo plays Duncan Wedderburn, a lascivious creep — think Snidely Whiplash with sex appeal — who sets out to seduce Bella, with things not quite going as he planned. This is just a few days after the Golden Globes, where Stone has won for best actress in a musical or comedy for “Poor Things.” At a backstage press conference that night, she was asked about her friend Taylor Swift, who had been cheering loudly for her.
