Poor Things (2023) - Blu-ray Forum

Following The Favourite, Yorgos Lanthimos has circled a number of projects––including the Jim Thompson adaptation Pop. 1280 and The Hawkline Monster––but he finally looks to have settled on one that will actually be moving forward.

The director is preparing to put a new spin on the story of Frankenstein, reteaming with Emma Stone for Poor Things. According to a Production Weekly notice that made its way online, then confirmed by screenwriter Tony McNamara’s agency, the film will follow Stone as Bella Baxter, “a volatile, oversexed, emancipated woman and a female Frankenstein.” After drowning herself to escape her abusive husband, Bella’s brain is replaced by that of her unborn child.

The peculiar-sounding story is from a novel by Alasdair Gray with Lanthimos and McNamara adapting for Searchlight Pictures. Production is being eyed for a fall 2021 start, so we would expect a 2022 premiere. [+]

and "Bella’s brain is replaced by that of her unborn child."

Count me in. A lot of subject matter here for him to frolic in.

Yes.

I’m always in for more Lanthimos, but I’m sure this is the third project he’s boarded since The Favourite. Please just finish one Yorgos!

Hopefully though we will see a similar burst of output from him as in 2015-18, The Lobster, Sacred Deer and The Favourite all coming out relatively quickly was I believe down to a lot of overlap in pre production so he could move from filming one to the next quite rapidly.

I'm so down.

LOVED The Favourite. Sacred Deer was an incredibly unsettling and fantastic watch as well.

This news reminds me that Mark Ruffalo didn't deserve the two Oscar nominations for The Kids Are All Alright and Spotlight.

Love Mark Ruffalo! Excited to see him in this! Especially with Dafoe!

But wait, I have to ask you about your other upcoming projects because you have another Robert Egger’s movie, you’re shooting I think Yorgos Lanthimos movie…

I did that already. Yeah. I finished that.
