In this upcoming fantasy film, acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos brings us a tale where Oscar-winner Emma Stone takes on the role of a newly created female character with a Frankenstein-like origin, embarking on a journey of self-discovery.

After a successful premiere at this year's Venice Film Festival, where it earned the prestigious Golden Lion award and garnered Oscar buzz, "Poor Things" has now received its official final trailer, giving us a glimpse of Emma Stone as Bella.

Adapted from Alasdair Gray's fantasy novel of the same name, "Poor Things" adds a darkly whimsical and fairytale twist to a Frankenstein-like story. It follows Bella, the newly formed female being, as she gains self-awareness and independence while unraveling her own identity and exploring her sexuality.

Yorgos Lanthimos, the acclaimed Greek filmmaker known for his collaboration with Emma Stone in "The Favourite" and his work on surreal dark comedies like "Dogtooth" and "The Lobster," directs this captivating film in which Stone also serves as a producer.

Also, starring Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Christopher Abbott, Ramy Youssef, and Jerrod Carmichael, "Poor Things" is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 8th, and it's poised to be a prominent contender in the upcoming awards season.

synopsis:
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.
