Wanna See ‘Bugonia’ Early? Go Bald!

There was a gimmicky film screening to see The Long Walk, and now the upcoming Bugonia is doing one in all its personal.

Anybody residing in LA who desires to see Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist comedy earlier than everybody else can accomplish that on Monday, October 20 on the Culver Theater at 8 PM. Tickets are free, however there’s a catch: the screening’s for “anybody who’s bald, or prepared to change into bald”—so for those who wanna get into the first-come, first-serve screening, you gotta be bald to get in. Present up with hair, and there’ll be an on-site barber beginning at 6 PM who you’ll need to let chop all of it off to get in. Issues don’t cease there: Focus goes to movie a few of the screening and use it for promotional functions, much like commercials for horror films.

Primarily based on the South Korean movie Save the Inexperienced Planet!, Bugonia stars Emma Stone as Michelle, a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis). Conspiracy-pilled as hell, the 2 have it of their heads that Michelle’s really an alien who’s come to destroy Earth and whereas they’ve acquired her captive, shave her head so she will be able to’t contact her ship. (No, actually.) Stone genuinely went bald for the function and if it helps, she known as it pretty great again in August to not have her hair.

For everybody else, you’ll be able to see Bugonia together with your hair intact when it hits theaters Friday, October 24.
