Mark Ruffalo joins Emma Stone in Yorgos Lanthimos' next movie 'Poor Things'

Mark Ruffalo is scheduled to play opposite Emma Stone in Poor Things, the next film from 'The Favourite' director Yorgos Lanthimos, following his well-deserved Golden Globe win for his dual roles in 'I Know This Much Is True'.

The film is being developed by Searchlight Pictures and is based on a book by renowned Scottish novelist Alasdair Gray, which has been described as a 'hilarious political allegory' and 'a send-up of Victorian literature' as well as 'a thought-provoking duel between the desires of men and the independence of women.'

Poor Things is essentially a reimagining of Frankenstein in which the monster is replaced with Bella Baxter (Stone), a gorgeous, temperamental erotomaniac who is brought back to life with the brain of an infant.

The three-time Oscar nominee Mark recently wrapped Netflix's time travel movie 'The Adam Project' starring Ryan Reynolds. He's represented by UTA, Lighthouse Management & Media, and attorney Keith A. Klevan.
