Yorgos Lanthimos, renowned for his unconventional filmmaking style, is set to release his latest project, Bugonia, a remake of the South Korean comedy Save the Green Planet!. This thought-provoking and visually striking film follows two conspiracy theorists who believe the CEO of a major company is an alien from outer space intent on destroying the Earth. Lanthimos has collaborated with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, with whom he has previously worked on multiple projects.
Due to the ongoing effects of last year’s dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the release of Bugonia will be slightly delayed. However, the film’s release date coincides with two other notable releases, including Marvel’s highly anticipated Blade, starring Mahershala Ali and Mia Goth, and the visceral video game sequel Mortal Kombat 2. Following Bugonia’s release, there are no other scheduled releases until the American Thanksgiving weekend, when family-friendly films Zootopia 2 and Wicked: Part 2 will debut.

As Lanthimos’ fourth project with Emma Stone, Bugonia promises to be a unique and charming film. The combination of satire and thriller elements in the premise is ripe for exploration by Lanthimos’ distinctive directing style. With Lanthimos’ proven track record of box office success, fans of the director will be eager to see what he has in store for them. The addition of Jesse Plemons to the cast adds to the film’s promise, given his proven acting chops in multiple projects. With a unique blend of humor and suspense, Bugonia is shaping up to be an exciting addition to Lanthimos’ filmography.
As fans of Lanthimos count down the days until Bugonia’s release on November 7, 2025, anticipation is building. With the promise of a unique and visually striking film, Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest creation is shaping up to be a cinematic event not to be missed.
