Boasting a high-profile cast including names like Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer, the trailer for director Yorgos Lanthimos’s highly awaited ‘Kinds of Kindness’ was dropped earlier today.
This project is not the first collaboration between Lanthimos and some of the other cast members. However, Lanthimos, Willem Dafoe and Emma Stone are following the trail of their critically acclaimed Oscar-nominated and multi-award-winning sci-fi comedy ‘Poor Things’ with this new film. The trailer showcases oxymoronic scenes. Bright color schemes and intense background music.
An inference that can be drawn from the teaser is that the movie will be a hyperlinked narrative, with some of our favorite actors navigating through a world of vanity, sex, and insanity.
Coming to select theatres on 21st June this year, the hype for ‘Kinds of Kindness’ has only skyrocketed after the drop of the trailer. With cars revving and people screaming all around, the teaser has set forth a moodboard of crazy expectations from the rest of the film.
Filmed in New Orleans in late 2022, the movie is officially set to be a fable that follows a man who tries to take control of his narrative; a policeman who is alarmed that his missing wife has returned a different person; and a woman determined to find a someone who is prophesied to become a spiritual leader.
Towards the end, we’re left with a question: Isn’t it wonderful?
Well, there’s only one way to find out!
