Dubai: In Bugonia, Emma Stone steps into one of the most unnerving roles of her career—a powerful CEO who is kidnapped, restrained, and interrogated by two conspiracy-obsessed men convinced she is an alien here to destroy humanity.
It’s a premise that borders on absurdity, yet it lands with piercing relevance in a world grappling with disinformation, technological anxiety, and a fractured sense of truth. Stone, who reunites with visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos after Poor Things and The Favourite, becomes the mirror through which audiences confront this collective paranoia.
“I’d never seen me like that either,” Stone says of the physical demands of the role in an exclusive roundtable interview with Gulf News.
