Emma Stone’s unique Poor Things character look was actually a mistake
Exclusive: Emma Stone and direc😼tor Yorgos Lanthimos break down her Frankenstein's-monster-esque character in Poor Things

After the success of 2018's Oscar-nominated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Favourite, Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos have re-teamed for a neꦕw movie: period sci-fi-drama-comedy-oddity Poor Things.
Stone plays Bella, a Frankenstein's monster of sorts, brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist played by Willem Dafoe. Lanthimos and Stone worked closely to bring Bella to life – but one deta🌸il was all Stone.
"Well, I remember I dyed my hair too dark and we had to kind of go with that," Stone tells the new issue of , which is out on newsstands on Thursday, August 17, in an interview conducted before the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actors' strike.
"That was an idea, that she’d be almost ahead of her time – a reactionary o🍸f sorts," Lanthimos explains. "But childlike and natural, and all these things. So we felt like, 'It’d be a great idea to dye her hair dark.' But then Emma went ahead and became jet black. And I was like, 'Alright.'"
"It just🐽 kept going and going and it was like, 'Goddamn it. Alright.' Black," Stone laughs – and you can see the re♓sults in our exclusive images from the film above.
Lanthimos continues: "It looked stunning with her very white skin. There’s all these acciꦉdents, to the very detailed design of certain costumes, and then, I don’t know, they break apart, and then we build something else. So it’s a very complex process, I think."
Poor Things arrives in cinemas on December 8. In the meantime, check out our picks of the other best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies on the way in 2023 and beyond.
