POOR THINGS: First Look At Emma Stone As "Frankenstein's Monster" Released Ahead Of Tomorrow's Trailer

The first trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos' (The Lobster, The Favorite) adaptation of Alasdair Gray's modern-day Frankenstein tale, Poor Things, will be online tomorrow, and we have a first look right here.

Emma Stone as Frankenstein's Monster? Kind of!

The first trailer for acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos' (The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) adaptation of Alasdair Gray's bestselling novel, Poor Things, which, in some respects, serves as a modern-day retelling of Mary Shelley's classic novel, will be online tomorrow, and a new promo still featuring Stone's character has been released.

It sounds like this take on the story will lean more heavily into the book's Frankenstein influences, however, as it's described as "a Victorian tale of love, discovery and scientific daring, Poor Things tells the incredible story of Belle Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by an eccentric but brilliant scientist."

Stone plays said young woman, while Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, Margaret Qualley, Suzy Bemba, Kathryn Hunter, and Wayne Brett will also star.

Check out the new still along with some previously released images below.


"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. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation."

Poor Things is set to hit theaters for a limited run this September.
