The post Emma Stone Stars in First Trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness” appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>The film’s official synopsis describes it as “a triptych fable” following three characters – a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life, a policeman who is alarmed after his wife who was missing at sea comes back home, and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
The first trailer for Kinds of Kindness doesn’t reveal too much about the film’s plot, but it gives us an idea about its tone and a glimpse of its star-studded cast. In addition to Stone, this film also stars Poor Things’ Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley, plus Hong Chau (The Whale), Joe Alwyn (The Favourite), Mamoudou Athie (Archive 81), and Hunter Schafer (Euphoria).
Lanthimos directed the film and co-wrote the script alongside his frequent collaborator Efthimis Filippou (The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer). Kinds of Kindness will be released on June 21 via Searchlight Pictures.

]]>Phoenix will reunite with Aster on this mystery project, after previously leading his previous film Beau Is Afraid. Not much is known about their next collaboration, but it’s been rumored it will be a Western about a small-town sheriff with high expectations. It’s safe to expect it will explore the dark side of the human psyche, like all of Aster’s previous films.
In addition to Phoenix, this film will also star the Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), the recent Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), and Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two).
They’ll also be joined by Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey) in supporting roles.
Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth collaboration with A24, following the success of his horror films Hereditary and Midsommar and last year’s tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing this film, he’ll also produce it alongside Lars Knudsen under their Square Peg banner.

]]>The post Emma Stone Eyes a Role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Save the Green Planet” appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Save the Green Planet was originally directed by Jang Joon-hwan, and it centers on a disillusioned young man who’s convinced that the world is on the verge of an alien invasion and decides to do everything in his power to save the world.
Joon-hwan was previously in talks to direct the English-language remake of his film before Lanthimos hopped on board. Will Tracy (The Menu) wrote the screenplay for this remake, which will kick off production in the UK and New York later this summer.
Stone will most likely play a supporting role in this project, which marks her latest collaboration with Lanthimos. The Favourite was their first film by each other’s side, and Stone went on to star in his short film Bleat and the black comedy Poor Things, which earned her an Oscar nomination for the best lead actress.
She’ll also appear in Lanthimos’ upcoming anthology film Kinds of Kindness alongside Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, and Hunter Schafer.

]]>The competition for the festival’s most prestigious award was as strong as it gets, and it included David Fincher’s The Killer, Sofia Copolla’s Priscilla, and Michael Mann’s Ferrari, among other acclaimed projects. Lanthimos eventually took the Golden Lion home following the enormous success of Poor Things and dedicated this victory to the leading lady, Emma Stone.
Poor Things stars Stone as a young woman Bella, who tries to find her own path after being brought back to life by an eccentric scientist (Willem Dafoe). The film also stars Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, Margaret Qualley, and Kathryn Hunter.
Poor Things wasn’t the only film to win big in Venice. The list of major award recipients also included Evil Does Not Exist (Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize) and Green Border (Special Jury Prize). Memory’s Peter Sarsgaard and Priscilla’s Cailee Spaeny were awarded for their acting performances, while Matteo Garrone was named the best director for his work on Io Capitano.

]]>The post Disney is Plotting a “Cruella” Sequel, Emma Stone Set to Return appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Cruella premiered back in May to positive reviews but suffered at the box office due to the simultaneous release on Disney+. Many questioned Stone’s return after Scarlett Johansson’s lawsuit against Disney over the company’s decision to release Black Widow through the same simultaneous model. Stone didn’t go down the same road, and executive chairman of her agency Endeavor, Patrick Whitesell, said this agreement demonstrates that it’s possible for studios and talent to find the common ground.
“We are proud to work alongside Emma and Disney and appreciate the studio’s willingness to recognize her contributions as a creative partner. We are hopeful that this will open the door for more members of the creative community to participate in the success of new platforms,” said Whitesell in a statement.
In addition to Stone, Cruella also starred Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, Emily Beecham, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Mark Strong. It has grossed over $226 million worldwide, and it’s been reported that it was watched by 686,000 American households in its debut weekend on Disney+.

The image features Stone embodying the notoriously fashionable diva, down to the famous two-toned hairstyle, holding three large Dalmatians, flanked by two of her thugs.
Disney Film chief Sean Bailey and director Craig Gillespie went on to share more details about the film — the backstory to “one of Disney’s so-called great villains.” The duo confirms that the film will take place in the punk rock era of the 1970s.
An additional casting was also confirmed with Emma Thompson set to star opposite Stone. Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry, also star.
Cruella will hit theaters May 28, 2021.

]]>The post Netflix’s “Maniac” Won’t Be Coming Back For Season 2 appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Netflix only started streaming Maniac on September 21, but the series already earned a loyal army of fans who’d like to see more of it.
The series tells the story of two struggling strangers who meet each other during a confusing pharmaceutical trial.
Emmy winner Cary Joji Fukunaga directed all ten episodes of this limited series, but he’s not interested in coming back. Fukunaga is pretty busy these days, especially after being picked to direct the upcoming James Bond movie, but he wouldn’t mind seeing another season of Maniac, in case the showrunner Patrick Somerville decides to do it.
Somerville, however, doesn’t seem to be very keen on that idea. Ten episodes were all he needed to tell this complex story since he always imagined it as a mini-series.
“This was always planned as a limited series, and I think that’s another reason why we had the freedom to have a more hopeful ending. A lot of times on TV, you have to throw your characters into distress again near the end to buy the next season, and we don’t have to do that,” explained Somerville.
