New Release of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things Trailer
Film Director Yorgos Lanthimos has made Emma Stone his new Frankenstein in the upcoming film, Poor Things.
Stone plays Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life after being experimented on by the unconventional scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter.
Belle Baxter is a strong-willed woman who adapts to her human body while realizing the ongoing prejudice surrounding her. “Her brain and body are not quite synchronized but she is progressing at an accelerated pace,” says the unhinged scientist in the newly released trailer.
Scenes of Dr. Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe, have been seen to parallel the work of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein through a new lens. In the early stages of Bella Baxter’s regeneration, she is seen hooked up for a shock treatment with sparks surrounding her head. This has been seen as an imitation of Shelley’s work, according to sources at The Hollywood Reporter.
She's like nothing you've ever seen.
