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 needs 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 keen to develop into bald”—so in case you 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 among the screening and use it for promotional functions, just like commercials for horror films.

Based mostly 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 received her captive, shave her head so she will be able to’t contact her ship. (No, actually.) Stone genuinely went bald for the position and if it helps, she referred to as it pretty great again in August to not have her hair.

For everybody else, you possibly can see Bugonia together with your hair intact when it hits theaters Friday, October 24.
