In an interview with Brazilian outlet, “Poor Things” cinematographer Robbie Ryan confirms that Yorgos Lanthimos’ “AND,” starring Emma Stone, will be released in 2024.
"It's a very, very exciting movie. There are three stories and it is very different from “Poor Things”. Yorgos wrote this with Efthimis [Filippou], who also penned “The Killing of A Sacred Deer”. It's still Yorgos, but there's a different sensitivity to it.”
Also, according Ryan, the film was made while “Poor Things” was in the final stages of VFX adjustments. "The post-production took so long and, with COVID bringing down some projects, we had a window to shoot something. Yorgos said “I don't want to look at special effects every day, let's make another movie!'
Production on “AND” wrapped last December. Some on-set footage of Stone and Jesse Plemons leaked online that same month.
Plot details have been kept under wraps. However, Lanthimos mentioned the screenplay in a 2020 interview with Kelly Reichardt. It’s essentially an anthology film. The cast will include Stone, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Jesse Plemons.
“AND” co-star Hong Chau was on a recent episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast where she revealed that the Lanthimos film consisted of three separate stories where each actor plays a different role in each story.
I mean, how great is that? Especially with that cast. All of the mentioned actors, except for Plemons, also starred in “Poor Things.”
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
