10 Upcoming Movies With INSANE Premises

8. Bugonia

Novocaine Jack Quaid
Searchlight Pictures

Bugonia is the latest film from the brilliant Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things), and will again reunite him with Emma Stone for a remake of the 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy Save the Green Planet!

Much like its inspiration, the remake revolves around a conspiracy theorist beekeeper, Teddy (Jesse Plemons), who kidnaps a high-flying pharmaceutical company CEO, Michelle (Stone), amid the belief that she's actually an alien in disguise who is plotting to destroy Earth. Oh, and Alicia Silverstone is playing Plemons' mother, no matter that Silverstone's barely a decade older than Plemons and the pair basically look the same age.

What more do you really need to hear about this one? Lanthimos' track record speaks for itself, and if you're desperate to know precisely how wild the story gets, you can always just go watch Save the Green Planet! - or, in a pinch, read the plot summary on Wikipedia.
