'''''Poor Things''''' is a 2023 [[black comedy]] [[fantasy film]] directed by [[Yorgos Lanthimos]] from a screenplay by [[Tony McNamara (writer)|Tony McNamara]].<ref>{{cite web |date=May 11, 2023 |title=Emma Stone Will Creep You Out in the 'Poor Things' Trailer |url=https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/poor-things-trailer-cast-plot-release-date-emma-stone/amp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512170342/https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/poor-things-trailer-cast-plot-release-date-emma-stone/amp |archive-date=May 12, 2023 |access-date=May 12, 2023 |website=W}}</ref> The film stars [[Emma Stone]], [[Mark Ruffalo]], [[Willem Dafoe]], [[Ramy Youssef]], [[Christopher Abbott]], and [[Jerrod Carmichael]]. Based on the [[Poor Things|1992 novel of the same name]] by [[Alasdair Gray]], its plot focuses on a young Victorian woman who, after being crudely resurrected by a scientist following her suicide, runs off with a debauched lawyer to embark on an odyssey of self-discovery and sexual liberation.
 
Produced by [[Film4 Productions]], [[Element Pictures]], [[TSG Entertainment]], and [[Searchlight Pictures]], development on the film began as early as 2009, when Lanthimos visited Gray in Scotland to acquire the rights to the novel. Following a period in [[development hell]], the director revisited ''Poor Things'' while filming ''[[The Favourite]]'' (2018), which starred Stone, and approached her with the lead role. The remaining cast joined the project in 2021, with [[principal photography]] occurring in Hungary from August to December of that year.
