Just afterEmma Stonewon yet another Academy Award, her return is right around the corner, withSearchlight Picturesconfirming thatKinds of Kindnesswill premiere in theaters on June 21. The upcoming movie will mark yet another collaboration between the actress andYorgos Lanthimos, the filmmaker who directed the critically acclaimedPoor Things. Stone has worked alongside Lanthimos for the better part of the second half of her career, and the creative minds that produced such wonderful stories are teaming up once again forKinds of Kindness, the unpredictable anthology confirmed to arrive in theaters much earlier than anticipated.
Alongside the announcement regarding when audiences can expectKinds of Kindnessto arrive on the big screen, Searchlight Pictures also took time to confirm the main cast of the anthology, who are set to tell three different stories in a contemporary setting.Jesse Plemons,Willem Dafoe,Margaret Qualley,Hong Chau,Joe Alwyn,Mamoudou AthieandHunter Schaferwill be joining Stone in the upcoming project, while more details surrounding the nature of the stories that Lanthimos will portray on the screen remain under wraps. There’s no telling what’s going to happen inKinds of Kindness, but taking a look at the filmmaker’s previous work, it might be safe to say that it will be unconventional, yet profoundly emotional.
Plemons recently appeared inKillers of the Flower Moon, theMartin Scorsesefeature that was also nominated for Best Picture in this year’s Academy Award ceremony, alongsidePoor Things. The actor stepped into the shoes of Thomas Bruce White Sr., a BOI agent leading the murder investigation within the Osage community’s territory. On the other hand, Schafer was recently seen as Tigris Snow inThe Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The adaptation brought the literary prequel to the mainHunger Gamesfranchise to life, with a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) rising through the ranks.
