Emma Stone & Poor Things Director’s Bugonia Movie Sets Streaming Release Date

Peacock has announced the release date for the upcoming streaming debut of Emma Stone‘s latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos. Stone’s sci-fi dark comedy movie Bugonia was based on 2003’s South Korean movie Save the Green Planet!

“A wildly entertaining psychological thriller, the film follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe is an alien out to destroy humanity. What begins as a paranoid act spirals into a battle of delusions and control—one as viscerally unpredictable as it is provocative,” reads the movie’s official synopsis.
