Mark Ruffalo has been in a lot of great projects – most recently his roles in the HBO series I Know This Much Is True – which, he won a Golden Globe for. Now, the talented actor will be joining Emma Stone in the upcoming movie Poor Things.
Poor Things is based on a book by Alasdair Gray and will be directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Lanthimos previously directed The Favourite. The project is 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”.
For the plot, I’m going to let Collider explain:
Bella is actually Victoria Blessington, who drowns herself to escape her abusive husband, Gen. Sir Aubrey Blessington, However, a surgeon resuscitates her by removing the brain from the fetus she was carrying and placing it into her skull, giving the revived Bella the mental faculties of a child. Eventually, she becomes engaged to a Glasgow physician named Archibald McCandless, who she then chloroforms only to run off with a shady lawyer who takes her on a whirlwind adventure all over Europe. As Bella’s brain matures, she starts to develop a social conscience, but all the progress she has made is threatened when she is recognized as Victoria by her lawful husband.
