This film is a remake of the 2003 South Korean film 'Save the Green Planet!', blending elements of dark comedy with a unique narrative.

The screenplay was crafted by Will Tracy, known for his work on HBO's 'Succession' and 'The Menu', both of which delve into themes of wealth and greed.

Lanthimos, recognized for his distinctive and often absurd style, has received five Oscar nominations, including two for Best Director.

The cast includes Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, with Plemons portraying a beekeeper obsessed with environmental protection.

Peter Kujawski, Chairman of Focus Features, praised Lanthimos as a cinematic visionary, expressing excitement about reimagining this story.

The first trailer for 'Bugonia', directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, showcases Emma Stone as a CEO kidnapped by conspiracy theorists, played by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis, who mistakenly believe she is an alien set to take over the world.

Lanthimos expressed a strong connection to the screenplay, indicating that this project stands out for him despite his familiarity with the actors.

This film follows Stone's recent project 'Eddington', which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025.

'Bugonia' is set to premiere in limited theaters on October 24, 2025, with a wider release scheduled for October 31, 2025, and is expected to debut at the Venice Film Festival.

The trailer hints at a blend of normal and bizarre themes typical of Lanthimos's work, starting with a basic kidnapping narrative that suggests deeper madness.

In the trailer, Stone sports a sleek black skirt suit paired with a red overcoat, showcasing her voluminous ginger hair styled in a polarizing side part.

The narrative suggests that while Stone's character may not be an alien, she embodies human traits of ambition and greed that could metaphorically lead her to 'want to take over the world'.
