By Hot off her BAFTA award win for her role in “Poor Things,” Emma Stone is once again teaming with that film’s director Yorgos Lanthimos for his next film – “Save the Green Planet” at Element Pictures.
A remake Joon-hwan’s South Korean 2003 fantasy comedy, Lanthimos is reportedly expected to start shooting the film in the U.K. and New York this summer.
The long-gestating and eccentric black comedy follows a disillusioned young man who captures and tortures a businessman whom he believes to be part of an alien invasion.
A battle of wits ensues between the captor, his devoted girlfriend, the businessman and a private detective. The original film became a cult hit and had plenty of festival play when it was around.
Jang himself was previously attached to direct the remake based on a screenplay by Will Tracy (“The Menu”). Stone is expexted to have only a supporting role this time.
Stone previously worked with Lanthimos on “The Favorite” and has already shot his next released film “Kind of Kindness” which is well into post-production. Emma Stone, Margaret Qualley, Willem Dafoe and Joe Alwyn star in that.
