  • Her new film, Bugonia, which recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival, explores themes related to this belief.
  • In Bugonia, Stone portrays Michelle Fuller, a pharmaceutical CEO abducted by conspiracy theorists who suspect she is an alien.
  • Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the dark comedy is a remake of a 2003 Korean film and is scheduled for release in UK cinemas on November 7.
