Fresh off Poor Things‘ four wins at the Oscars, Yorgos Lanthimos’ next film already has a release date. And fans of the filmmaker won’t have to wait long, as Searchlight Pictures has set Kinds of Kindness for June 21st. That’s right, this summer.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about Kinds of Kindness, but it’s been described by Lanthimos as “a contemporary film, set in the US – three different stories, with four or five actors who play one part in each story”.
We also know something about the cast, which is pretty incredible. Along with Stone, the film stars Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. Lanthimos co-wrote the script with frequent creative partner Efthimis Filippou. Filming was completed in New Orleans back in 2020.
This will be Lanthimos and Stone’s fourth collaboration and the dark comedy Save the Green Planet coming up along with a mystery project shot in Greece.
