The Highly Anticipated Film “Poor Things” Set to Release in 2023

The year 2023 will usher in many highly anticipated new films helmed by illustrious directors such as Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, and Greta Gerwig, to name just a few. This year will also see the release of Poor Things, the upcoming film from Greek filmmaker and auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. The movie is a gothic science fiction romance. Lanthimos is one of the most provocative filmmakers of the past ten years. He built a name for himself with films like the psychologically rich The Killing of the Sacred Deer and the thought-provoking deconstruction of human ties and loneliness in The Lobster. These films have earned him a reputation as one of today’s most challenging directors. However, the historical drama he directed in 2018 called “The Favourite” brought him the greatest widespread accolades and success of his career. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and Olivia Colman won her first Oscar for her performance in the movie.

The film Poor Things is an adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Alasdair Gray in 1992. The novel, which won the Costa Book Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize, tells the story of a woman whose identity and memories are unclear. She becomes entangled in a story about a gothic romance that was popular during the Victorian era and has connections to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are reuniting for this project, as Stone will play the lead role in this twisted period tale. Stone previously appeared alongside Olivia Colman in the film The Favourite. Here is everything we know about Poor Things so far for those of you looking forward to seeing what Lanthimos has in store for us this time.
