“It’s a very different film,” Yorgos Lanthimos said Sunday about his next movie with Emma Stone, titled Kinds of Kindness, which he’s currently editing. It marks the third time the pair have worked together.

“It’s three contemporary stories, and there’s a core of actors — seven total — who play one character in each story,”:” he said. “So, they’ll play three different characters.”

Talking about how she prepped for the role of Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist (played by Dafoe) who discovers her own freedom and sexual independence, Stone said, “I think it was removing life experiences, rather than tapping into life experiences. She was a character unlike anything I’ve ever played, or read, or seen before.”

“It was about unlearning things, rather than tapping into things form my past which was very beautiful and freeing,” said Stone, who also produced the Searchlight title.

Getting specific, Stone added, “The sort of societal things that you can grow up around: Judgment of your body, judgment of people, shame and other aspects of yourself. I think this restarting from scratch, that was a very inspiring part of Bella.”

Poor Things just cleared $14 million at the domestic box office.
