Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos reunite for the first preview of Kinds of Kindness

Following their latest Oscar-winning collaboration, Emma Stone and Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos are back with another must-see film.

The actress, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She appears alongside Margaret Qualley, Hunter Schafer, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Joe Alwyn, Hong Chau and Mamoudou Athie in the first puzzle for kind types.

“This is… the moment of truth,” Stone, 35, narrates the beginning of the 46-second clip as he pulls out of a parking lot in a purple Dodge Challenger.

No further dialogue is given until the end of the teaser, when the car pulls into a motel parking lot. ‘Is not it wonderful?’ she asks.

The rest of the promo is filled with glimpses of scenes set to Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)’.
