Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos is in pre-production on his next feature, Poor Things, currently setting up at Origo Studios, Hungary.
Adapted from the novel by Alasdair Grey, the film is from Element Pictures, Searchlight and Film4 and stars Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef and Willem Dafoe. Variety recently reported that Jerrod Carmichel has also joined the cast.
Lanthimos, who also produces alongside Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe of Element, and Stone for her banner Fruit Tree, is calling the shots from a screenplay by Tony McNamara; the pair previously worked together on The Favourite, also starring Stone.
