Mark Ruffalo’s Duncan Wedderburn is a caddish lawyer and inveterate gambler who steals Bella away on a long European trip, thinking to take advantage of the comely, innocent young woman.It seems like Lanthimos has opted to reduce him to normal size and express his grotesquerie through facial scarring instead, although that he doesn’t appear in the same shot as any other characters in the trailer. In the book, he is an actual giant, with a huge head, weirdly conical hands, and a high-pitched voice that is unbearable to hear - but he’s also kindly and principled. Willem Dafoe’s Godwin Baxter is the brilliant, privately wealthy medical doctor and shut-in who brings Bella to life.She’s curious, intelligent, kind, compassionate, and has a furious appetite for both food and sex (the shape of the window behind her in this set photo is no accident). Emma Stone’s Bella Baxter is not just a young woman brought back to life - she is the corpse of a young pregnant woman, reanimated with the brain of the baby she was carrying, which then proceeds to develop at an abnormally fast rate.

Let’s break it down by character - with the caveat that Lanthimos and screenwriter Tony McNamara (who co-wrote The Favourite and Stone’s Cruella as well as creating the TV show The Great) may not have wanted, or been able to, replicate all of these on screen. This is a decent summary, but it omits some of the juicier and funnier details of Gray’s plot and characterization.

Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation. 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. Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. In fact, the official logline is not a bad place to start:įrom filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. So, as a fan of both Gray and the book, let me explain what you’re seeing here. Poor Things is an adaptation of the 1992 novel by the idiosyncratic Scottish author and illustrator Alasdair Gray, who very much had his own set of preoccupations (including sex, socialism, and typesetting - he not only illustrated all his own books but typeset them by hand). Nonetheless, there’s a lot to intrigue and mystify in this collection of surreal imagery from the mind of director Yorgos Lanthimos ( The Lobster, The Favourite).

Searchlight Pictures has released a teaser for the new Emma Stone movie Poor Things - and unlike many teasers, this trailer deserves the name, featuring only 30 seconds of footage and one line of dialogue (two, if you count an extremely camp “ow” from Mark Ruffalo).
