People have one of two thoughts about life on other planets: Obviously there are aliens out there or it is just us. Which feels like a drastic divide and…well, it is. But it is interesting to see where certain people fall.
Wherever you fall on the spectrum is your own purgative but I personally think it is more fun to think that there is other life out there and they’re all watching us like “these fools!” You know who also thinks life exists elsewhere? Emma Stone. The star of Poor Things is at the Venice Film Festival. She is promoting her new film from Yorgos Lanthimos and during the press conference revealed where she lands on this topic.
“Yes, I’m coming out and saying it,” Stone told reporters at the press conference for her film Bugonia. “I believe in aliens!” And the reason behind this belief isn’t really that surprising. She started to listen to astronomer Carl Sagan and the rest is kind of history.
“One of my favorite people who has ever lived is [astronomer] Carl Sagan and I fell madly in love with his philosophy, science and how brilliant he is,” Stone told the room. “He very deeply believed the idea that we’re alone in this vast expansive universe, not that we’re being watched, is a pretty narcissistic thing.”
In the midst of Stone talking about the reality that aliens are out there, we also got a trailer for her new film. And look, the idea that she is an alien in the movie makes me believe that she really DOES know something about what is out in those stars. Ma’am, who have you met? What in the Fox Mulder is going on?
You can see a fellow believer that the truth is out there in Bugonia later this year.
