Article Summary

  • Searchlight unveils behind-the-scenes featurette for 'Poor Things.'
  • Emma Stone discusses challenges of filming out of order.
  • The film sparks debate on explicit sex in movies.
  • 'Poor Things' release set after Venice Film Festival premiere.

There are so many fun movies set to come out next month, and one of them has been drumming up a ton of press since it made its debut earlier this year. Poor Things already looked like it was going to be buckwild before we learned more about it, but now the film has become the center of the "should we have explicit sex in movies" conversation: the 2023 version. How you feel about sex in movies and sex in this movie specifically isn't really relevant as most people still haven't seen the film yet and can't make a call one way or another. Searchlight has been doing a pretty good job of keeping the movie in the public eye and has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette about the main character of Bella Baxter. We also hear from star Emma Stone about some of the unique challenges of this role, including why shooting out of order was specifically a challenge when portraying Bella.

Poor Things: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

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.
