What you need to know:
Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone’s next film already has a release date… and it’s closer than we expect.
One of the most important and popular films of 2023 was Poor thingsthe latest film by Yorgos Lanthimos in collaboration with Emma Stone after The favourite. This film won four Oscars, including Stone’s statuette for Best Actress.
That’s why we’re surprised by the news that both Lanthimos and Stone, They are about to release their new film titled Types of kindness. And when we say “very close” it’s because the release date is scheduled June 21, 2024.
Oh yeah! The thing is, we don’t know anything about the plot. Nothing. We have other aspects that are part of the film, such as the incredible cast. But from then on there isn’t much left. So over here We’ll tell you everything we know about this title and why we’re so excited.
Types of Kindness by Yorgos Lanthimos
As we already told you, it is not yet known what it is about. Types of kindnessbut what is public is that it is a three-story anthology starring Emma Stone next to Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualleywho were also there Poor things.
Another name that recurs among Lanthimos’ credits is Joe Alwynwho we saw The favourite. The new names added to the Greek filmmaker’s filmography are Jesse Plemons, Mamoudou Athie, Hong Chau and Hunter Schafer. And out of all of them, to be honest, we’re most excited about Plemons, as he’s an actor with a pretty wide range who has dabbled in both heavy dramas and comedies.
The script by Types of kindness was conducted by Lanthimos together with Efthimis Filippouwith whom he co-wrote some of his films that served as his introduction to Hollywood: The lobster And Killing a sacred deer. But the most interesting thing is that they wrote together Dog toothone of his Greek productions with one of the most perverted plots of the new millennium.
The fifth collaboration between Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos
Throughout the history of cinema We have seen many collaborations between directors and actors that have resulted in wonderful films. We have, among others, Werner Herzog with Klaus Kinski, Akira Kurosawa with Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura, Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina, even Ismael Rodríguez and Pedro Infante.
To this extraordinary list of long collaborations we can now add Emma Stone with Yorgos Lanthimos, who They are on their fifth collaboration. The first was with The favourite In 2018, Stone received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress (which was one of the ten nominations the film received).
Then we continued with the short film Bleat of 2022. This was followed Poor things of 2023 with 11 Oscar nominations and Stone’s second statuette for Best Actress. Then this year we will have 2024 Types of kindness. And finally they are preparing the remake of Save the Green Planeta South Korean fantasy comedy.
