As I said last June when it was first announced that Yorgos Lanthimos next movie Bugonia would be a remake of Joon-Hwan Jang's 2003 South Korean comedy Save the Green Planet! it's been a really long time since I've seen the original, so I remember very little save the basic concept -- two worker bees kidnap the queen (in the original film's case king) bee convinced that he/she is an alien set out to destroy humanity. So I can't tell you, now having watched the first full trailer for Bugonia how different it might seem from the original -- what I can tell you however is I fully laughed out loud about a dozen times watching it, and I couldn't be more psyched for this. I shared the gorgeous poster yesterday, see it here; oh and if you don't want to watch a full trailer but want to get a more general vibe you can watch the teaser right here. Or watch this and get psyched a la me:
Bugonia is out on Halloween, with a special limited release a week earlier -- or if you're a fancy-pants person in Venice for their film festival the movie is premiering today. Fuckers. Anyway I'm going to go re-watch Save the Green Planet this weekend, I think. I remember liking it quite a bit at the time.
