Trailer 2 - BUGONIA - 2025

Bugonia is a 2025 science fiction black comedy film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos from a screenplay by Will Tracy. It is an English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan. It stars Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone. A co-production of Ireland, South Korea, and the United States, the film focuses on two young men (Plemons and Delbis) who kidnap a powerful CEO (Stone), suspecting that she is secretly an alien who wants to destroy Earth.

Development on the film began as early as 2020, with Jang attached to direct and Tracy adapting the screenplay. Ari Aster came on board as producer soon after, and by February 2024, Lanthimos was hired to direct, replacing Jang, while Stone joined the project both as an actress and producer. Plemons joined the cast that May, and it was soon acquired by Focus Features for distribution at the Cannes Film Festival. Principal photography began in July in High Wycombe, England, and during which time, the rest of the cast was announced. Additional filming took place in May 2025 in Milos, Greece.

The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 28, 2025, and will be theatrically released in the United States by Focus Features on October 24, 2025.
