Get ready for a thrilling ride with Bugonia, the upcoming sci-fi black comedy that's about to take the world by storm! This highly anticipated film, directed by the talented Yorgos Lanthimos, is a remake of the South Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet'. And trust me, it's a wild ride!
Bugonia reunites Lanthimos with his The Favourite star, Emma Stone, and it's set to hit theaters with a limited engagement on October 24th, followed by a wide release on October 31st. We've already had a glimpse of the movie with a teaser trailer a few months back, and now, the full trailer has dropped, leaving us eager for more!
Described as an eccentric and dark comedy, Bugonia takes us on a journey through the mind of a conspiracy-obsessed young man. He, along with his partner, kidnaps a powerful CEO, believing her to be an alien invader with a sinister plan to destroy Earth. It's a battle of wits and a twisted tale of obsession and paranoia.
The original Save the Green Planet followed a similar storyline, where a disillusioned man captures and tortures a businessman, convinced he's an alien. It's a mind-bending, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.
But here's where it gets controversial... the original film's director, Joon-hwan Jang, was initially set to helm the remake. However, the reins were eventually handed over to Lanthimos. This switch-up has sparked curiosity and debate among fans, leaving many wondering about the creative direction of Bugonia.
And this is the part most people miss... Bugonia's screenplay was penned by Will Tracy, a writer known for his work on Succession and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Tracy also co-wrote the genre-bending film, The Menu, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this already captivating project.
So, what do you think of Bugonia's new trailer? Are you excited for this unique take on the alien invasion genre? Don't be shy, leave your thoughts and predictions in the comments below! We'd love to hear your take on this upcoming horror-comedy masterpiece.
Remember, in the world of cinema, sometimes the most unexpected collaborations can lead to the most extraordinary results. Bugonia just might be one of those unexpected gems!
