Once reborn, Stone’s character embarks on an adventure determined to break free from the constraints of her era. However, full of uncoordinated movements and senseless punching, Stone’s character must still adapt to her second chance at life.


The new teaser showcases the whimsically surreal universe Lathimos created for the characters of “Poor Things” to exist.

The latest glimpse of “Poor Things” reveals the romance between Baxter and the morally ambiguous lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, played by Mark Ruffalo. Joining Stone and Ruffalo is a talented ensemble cast, including Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott.


Tony McNamara, the mind behind “The Favourite,” lends his writing prowess to the screenplay of “Poor Things,” based on Alasdair Gray’s novel of the same name.
