This is truly a transformation beyond Emma Stone's usual boldness.
The new film 'Bugonia', directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is the English remake of 'Save the Earth!' and is generating excitement with Emma Stone's intense acting transformation.
Set to be released in South Korea on November 5, the film tells the story of two young men who believe in an alien invasion theory and kidnap a corporate CEO named 'Michelle', thinking she is an alien trying to destroy Earth.
Emma Stone plays the role of 'Michelle'. She is the CEO of a successful giant biotech company, so successful that she graces the covers of major magazines like Time, and is a perfectionist who must keep everything in her personal life and company under her control.
However, one day she is suddenly kidnapped by 'Teddy' (Jesse Plemons) and 'Don' (Aidan Devine) and is absurdly threatened to admit that she is an alien from Andromeda.
Emma Stone, who has set a monumental record as a two-time Academy Award winner for Best Actress with 'La La Land' and 'The Favourite', and has continuously taken on new challenges without resting on her current performances in films like 'Cruella', 'The Favourite: The Queen's Woman', 'Birdman', and 'The Amazing Spider-Man', has always left a strong presence in her works. Audiences, both domestic and international, are eagerly anticipating what new form she will bring to theaters this time.
In particular, Emma Stone's decision to shave her head to portray 'Michelle', who is suspected of being an alien, has also become a hot topic.
She shared her thoughts, saying, "I had to shave my head every few days, but it was actually nice because the morning preparation process wasn't complicated." Emma Stone not only took on a new challenge as an actress but also participated in the film as a producer.
'Bugonia' is a project that CJ ENM, the investment and distribution company of the original 2003 Korean film 'Save the Earth!', has planned and produced. It is also a film that pioneers a new journey for the Korean film industry, meeting global audiences following 'Fast Lives'. CJ ENM led the planning and development of the English remake's script, director, actors, and production company packaging, and is responsible for domestic distribution.
