Considering that his filmography most notably includes The Lobster and The Favourite, famed auteur (with a bent for wry, dark comedy) Yorgos Lanthimos making something even more fantastical than anything he’s done before is making quite a claim.

Yet, his latest, Poor Things, perhaps a very loose riff off of Frankenstein, where Stone plays a re-animated young woman who wants more out out of life and the world than being an experiment. The dab of a taste that we’re getting from the very first teaser gives echoes of Terry Gilliam (wherein lies the most visually daring mise en scéne yet for Lanthimos) within Yorgos’ own very off-beat sense of humor in a way that we’re on board for. Also, a supporting cast boasting Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, and Jerrod Carmichael is icing on what’s probably a very layered and dense cake of a film.

See that for yourself and enjoy this Poor Things teaser here, then look for it in theaters starting Sept. 8th.
