BGUK_3331137 - Los Angeles, CA First look at Emma Stone with a shaved head as she teams with Poor Things director for fourth time in wild and unpredictable Bugonia trailer. Emma Stone is in for another wild Yorgos Lanthimos ride in the latest preview of Bugonia as she stars as a powerful CEO who is accused of being an alien and kidnapped by Jesse Plemons who then shaves all her hair off so she can’t communicate with her ‘mother ship’. Focus Features has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Lanthimos-directed comedy written by Will Tracy, and starring Stone and Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone. The science-fiction black comedy follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap high-powered CEO Michelle Fuller (Stone) after they become convinced she is an alien who intends to destroy Earth. The latest trailer unveils Stone’s striking bald look after she’s kidnapped. The trailer begins with Michelle entering a building as snapshots cut to several magazines she posed for the cover of. “I believe every company should strive to form a diverse table,” she says in a voice-over as Chappell Roan’s Good Luck, Babe! plays in the background. “To empower people of different skills …” Michelle’s cool demeanor quickly disappears when it’s revealed that she’s reading off of a script to film a video for her company.The trailer then cuts to show conspiracy theorists Teddy (Plemons) and Don (Delbis) plotting their plan to kidnap Michelle. “They want you to think it’s you, that it’s you who made this world,” Teddy says in a voice-over as he’s shown working on an assembly line. “But it’s always been them. All we’ve lost … All that’s been done to us … We’re setting that right again.” Teddy and Don then kidnap Michelle outside of her home. Michelle eventually wakes up with a shaved head as Teddy explains that she’s at the ‘headquarters of the human resistance’. After she asks what happened to her hair, Teddy explains: “Your hair has been destroyed. To prevent you from contacting your ship.” Bugonia marks the fourth collaboration between Stone and director Lanthimos who previously worked together on The Favourite (2018), Poor Things (2023) and Kinds of Kindness (2024). Stone previously won her second Best Actress Academy Award for her head-turning role in Lanthimos' Poor Things. Her first was for La La Land, in 2017. Bugonia will be released in limited movie theaters October 24, 2025 and opens wide October 31, 2025.
