Emma Stone’s next movie with Yorgos Lanthimos is actually coming out pretty soon

Emma Stone and her Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos quickly identified each other as a couple of funky peas in a funky pod when they first worked together on 2018’s The Favourite, with their friendship being a fun talking point around Poor Things during Oscar season—especially since it culminated in Stone winning a second Best Actress trophy (right after she broke her dress during “I’m Just Ken”). The two have made it clear that they’d like to keep working together and, oh hey, what’s this? Apparently they have a new movie coming out in June. Like, this June. The month that’s in a couple of months.

The movie is called Kinds Of Kindness, and all we really know about it is that it’s an anthology film, that it used to be called And (a bad name, even if it’s funny), and that it’s the movie Stone and Lanthimos were working on when she was called on to slap co-star Willem Dafoe (another Poor Things veteran) 20 times. Speaking of, we actually also know a bunch of famous people who are in it, with Jesse Plemons, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer all joining Stone and Dafoe.

We can also surmise that the movie is about different kinds of kindness and/or the word “and,” since Lanthimos’ movies tend to have pretty straightforward titles—The Lobster is about a lobster, The Favourite is about a favourite (in the fancy European sense), Poor Things is about poor things. He’s not just, you know, throwing words together that sound good.

But, again, the good news is that we don’t have to wait long to find out what it’s about, because Kinds Of Kindness opens in theaters on June 21, 2024.
