Emma Stone stunned everyone with her role in Poor Things. While the film is yet to be released, the initial trailer was enough to hook everyone, especially the parts where she portrays an unconventional young woman. Known for her penchant for originality and invention, the actress choosing this movie doesn’t come as a surprise. What did surprise us was the new trailer that just dropped, further raising the audience’s excitement.

The new trailer promises a strong portrayal of the Victorian-era narrative.

New trailer released for the Emma Stone starrer Poor Things

Since its announcement in February 2021, the impending black comedy fantasy film has sparked a lot of interest. To add to the excitement, a new trailer for Emma Stone’s Poor Things has been released. The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, will reach US theaters on December 8 and UK theaters on January 12. To say this book-turned-movie will show Stone in a different light would be an understatement given her character in the film.

Stone will play Bella Baxter in the film, a lady brought back to life by a bizarre experiment performed by an unconventional scientist played by William Dafoe. The plot continues to explore Bella’s fanciful development as she embarks on a whirlwind voyage with a slick lawyer named Wedderburn, played by Mark Ruffalo, with the goal of standing up for equality and freedom.

It would be interesting for the viewers to witness Emma Stone in a fantasy film. However, the reason she picked the character of Bella Baxter was something that inspired many people.

Why did the actress take up the role of Bella Baxter?

From Netflix honoring her raucous high school film Superbad to the entire ensemble of Poor Things receiving a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the actress has it all. But the possible acclaim is not why she picked the role. She wanted to take on that part because it taught her “what it is to be a woman” and what it feels like to “be free, to be scared, and to be brave.”

Notably, Lanthimos and Stone have worked together in the Oscar-winning movie The Favourite in 2019. So, it would be interesting to witness what their Gothic science fiction comedy movie will give us. However, based on the duo’s previous work, it appears that another masterpiece is on the way.
