The first trailer has been released for Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness, his latest collaboration with La La Land and Cruella star Emma Stone.
This doesn't look quite as mind-bending (or controversial), but we can't help but be intrigued by what the director behind movies like The Lobster and The Favourite has in store for us with this one.
Very little has been revealed about Kinds of Kindness before today and this sneak peek doesn't exactly pull back the curtain on the plot. We do, however, have a brief synopsis for what's being described as a "triptych fable" by Searchlight Pictures.
"Kinds of Kindness [follows] a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader."
Kinds of Kindness wrapped production in October 2022 and, similar to Poor Things, has been held back until Lanthimos saw fit to release it.
Following the glowing response to that movie, it was a smart move as there are bound to be even more eyes on this one following Stone's "Best Actress" win at the Oscars. That was one of many awards she nabbed for her previous collaboration with the filmmaker.
Lanthimos has said very little about the project, but in an interview with The Guardian last December, he revealed, "It’s all shot and we have started editing. It’s a contemporary film, set in the US - three different stories, with four or five actors who play one part in each story, so they all play three different parts."
"It was almost like making three films, really. But it’s great to be working again with Emma. It makes it so much easier to have someone there who trusts you so much, and who you trust so much."
Kinds of Kindness impressive cast also includes Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.
Check out the trailer for the movie below ahead of its release in theaters on June 21.
