(This post was updated with new key art – 8/30) Searchlight Pictures has released the official trailer for Poor Things from filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. 

About The Film: 

Poor Things is the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe).

Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. 

Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

The ‘Poor Things’ Cast: 

Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, and  Christopher Abbott.

Release Date:

September 8, 2023, in theaters
