Emma Stone Reunites with Her “Poor Things” Director in “Kinds of Kindness” Trailer

Fresh off an Academy Award win for 'Poor Things,' Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are collaborating again with 'Kinds of Kindness,' in theaters June 21

Just weeks Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things swept the 2024 Oscars, the pair are back to introduce their latest movie.

Searchlight Pictures released the initial teaser trailer for Kinds of Kindness Wednesday. The new movie teams Stone, who just won her second Academy Award on March 10 for her role in Poor Things, with filmmaker Lanthimos, 50, for their third film project together since 2018's The Favourite.

The 46-second teaser — set to Eurythmics' 1983 hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" — shows Stone driving a purple car and teases appearances from its ensemble cast, which includes Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Jesse Plemons, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie and Hunter Schaefer. While the trailer does not give away much in terms of a story, it ends with Stone's character driving into a parking lot at what appears to be an apartment complex.

"Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing at sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader," reads an official synopsis for the movie.

At the New York City premiere of Poor Things in December, Lanthimos teased to PEOPLE that Kinds of Kindness differs from his other movies as a "contemporary film."

"It's three different stories and there's a core of seven actors, including Emma of course, who play one character in each story, so they all play three different characters," he said at the time.

Kinds of Kindness is in theaters June 21.
