Kinds of Yorgos-ness

This is yesterday's news, literally, but I'm gonna be real annoyed with myself in a few weeks time when I go searching to see where the post is where I shared the announcement of Yorgos Lanthimos' new movie and remember that oh right you took that day off to play hooky and go see Dune Part Two in IMAX. Anyway we've known about Yorgos' next movie for awhile now (here is my last post about it) -- it used to be called And but perhaps they realized that a movie called And would be lost unto the search engines forever (which I figured was part of the joke) so they have now officialled retitled the film Kinds of Kindess. And they have also given it a release date -- June 21st. (98 days to go!) And they have also announced a big chunk of the cast -- of course Emma Stone because I don't know if Yorgos and Emma are ever going to make another movie without each other at this point. 

I do believe they already have two more lined up after this one! But then there's Willem Dafoe (again), Joe Alwyn (again),  Margaret Qualley (again), plus the supremely talented Yorgos-newbies Jesse Plemons, Hunter Schafer, Mamoudou Athie, and Hong Chaun and god we love Hong Chau. Almost as much as we love a director who has a repertory of players. I do wish he'd work with Rachel Weisz or Colin Farrell or Ben Whishaw or Olicia Colman again. Or Mark Ruffalo. And also I have a list of about ten thousand actors he hasn't worked with I'd like to see him work with. Point being Yorgos don't you dare ever take a break!
