Kinds Of Kindness: Yorgos Lanthimos’ New Film Confirmed For June

Have you heard about the new Yorgos Lanthimos film? No, not Poor Things – the very-very-recent Yorgos Lanthimos film that, yes, was only weeks ago released in cinemas, and yes, has just hit Disney+, and yes, was just lauded at the Oscars this weekend. That has already become the old Yorgos Lanthimos film – because the acclaimed Greek director already has his star-packed next film in the can, and it’s out in a mere matter of months.

As confirmed by the Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures, Lanthimos’ new film Kinds Of Kindness will be arriving in June. And this isn’t a quickly rushed-out project – it’s another Emma Stone collaboration, also featuring the likes of Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. It’s expected to be an anthology film set in the US, penned by both Lanthimos himself and Efthimis Filippou. Plus it marks another collaboration with Robbie Ryan, the cinematographer who lensed both Poor Things and The Favourite. The film was once titled And, but mercifully received a new title, likely to be favoured by film journalists and search-engine-optimisers alike.

Exactly what kinds of kindness Kinds Of Kindness has in store for us remains to be seen – but Lanthimos is on a real roll right now, so expect a must see. Bring on 21 June.
