Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons Lead Yorgos Lanthimos' Next Film 'And'.


Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley are set to star in "The Favourite" and "The Lobster" director Yorgos Lanthimos' new film "AND" at Searchlight Pictures.

In addition to directing, Lanthimos is writing the screenplay with Efthimis Filippou, his collaborator on "The Lobster" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer". Element Pictures and Film4 helped develop the script, and Film4 co-financed the project, which begins principal photography in New Orleans next month.

"Working with Yorgos continues to be a highlight for us at Searchlight, and this is yet another truly original project that sets his work apart," Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield said in a statement. "Working again with Emma, Willem, Jesse, and Margaret as well as Element and Film4 is just the icing on the cake."

“This is our fifth film with Yorgos and we are delighted to reunite once again with Searchlight and Film4 on this brilliant script by Yorgos and Efthmis. Yorgos has drawn an incredible cast and crew and we are dying to get started,” Element’s Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe said.

Lanthimos' most recent film was 2018's "The Favourite", which was a Best Picture nominee and earned Stone an Oscar nomination, as well as won an Oscar for Olivia Colman. His next film "Poor Things" also stars Stone, Qualley and Dafoe alongside Mark Ruffalo.
