Yorgos Lanthimos to Reunite With Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons for Alien Conspiracy Drama ‘Bugonia’ at Focus Features


A new alien conspiracy drama from Yorgos Lanthimos will reunite the director with Oscar winner Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons.

The drama will also star Jesse Plemmons who, along with Stone, appears in Lanthimos’ forthcoming “Kinds of Kindness.” That three-chapter feature just premiered on Friday at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. “Bugonia” is based on the 2003 Korean film “Save the Green Planet.” It was developed for English adaptation by acclaimed director Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen for their Square Peg production label. We could not be more excited to partner with him, Emma and the incredible teams at Element, Square Peg and CJ ENM to reimagine this twisted and darkly funny story,” said Focus Features honcho Peter Kujawski.
