POOR THING Teaser Features Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo And Willem Dafoe

In theaters on September 8th is Searchlight Pictures POOR THINGS, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, and Christopher Abbott.

Today a first teaser was released.

From 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. 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.

Yorgos Lanthimos was nominated for a 2019 Academy Award in the Best Director category for his work on THE FAVOURITE (2018) but lost to Alfonso Cuarón for ROMA (2018). However Olivia Colman won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in THE FAVOURITE.
