Emma Stone, fresh off of her second Best Actress Oscar win for Poor Things, is set to star in Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming movie titled Kinds of Kindness. The film has been given a theatrical release date of June 21 this summer, marking the third collaboration between Stone and Lanthimos, following the success of The Favourite and Poor Things.
Kinds of Kindness also stars Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, Hong Chau, Margaret Qualley, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. Lanthimos has described the film as consisting of three contemporary stories, with a core group of seven actors who each play a different character in each story. This intriguing approach to storytelling has piqued the interest of fans and critics alike.
Both The Favourite and Poor Things have been critical and commercial successes, with Poor Things grossing $108.7M worldwide and earning four Oscar wins. The Favourite, on the other hand, grossed over $95M worldwide and earned a Best Actress Oscar for Olivia Colman. Lanthimos’ unique storytelling and directorial style have garnered praise and accolades in the past, making Kinds of Kindness a highly anticipated release.
The decision to release Kinds of Kindness in the summer marks a departure from the previous Q4 releases of The Favourite and Poor Things. This has led to speculation that the film may make an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, especially given Lanthimos’ history of bringing his films to the prestigious event. With the ongoing buzz surrounding the project, fans can expect a unique and captivating cinematic experience when the film hits theaters on June 21.
In addition to Kinds of Kindness, other highly anticipated films such as Focus Features/New Regency’s The Bikeriders and Sony’s Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us are also set to open on June 21. The summer promises to be an exciting time for moviegoers, with a diverse lineup of films vying for audience attention.
Overall, the upcoming release of Kinds of Kindness is shaping up to be a major event in the world of cinema. With a stellar cast, intriguing plot, and a talented director at the helm, the film is poised to make a significant impact and further solidify Emma Stone’s status as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses.
