The film will be released in UK & Ireland cinemas on the 12th January 2024.
Ahead of its release in January, a brand new trailer has been released for Yorgos Lanthimos’ film, based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray.
Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn, a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
The film sees director Yorgos Lanthimos reuniting with Emma Stone, who is set to star in this adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel as Bella Baxter. The film also stars Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley and Kathryn Hunter.
Featuring a script by Tony McNamara, the film also features cinematography by Robbie Ryan and costume design by Holly Waddington. It marks the first film in half-a-decade break since The Favourite for Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos.
