Here’s the trailer for Bugonia, dir. by Yorgos Lanthimos & starring frequent collaborator Emma Stone. “Two conspiracy obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.” [youtube.com]
I really liked the original, and i think Yorgos Lanthimos is an excellent pick for a remake.
It's a remake/rework of a 2003 Korean film. Obviously don't read the full plot description if you don't want spoilers! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_th...!
The original is a unique masterpiece
Is this (Bugonia) actually a remake, or does it just happen to have a similar plot?
Huh. This trailer makes the movie seem like quirky cat-and-mouse quiet thriller. But I've read elsewhere that it's full of graphic scenes of horrific torture which the trailer doesn't even hint at. Gonna have to pass.
