‘Bugonia’ is set to be an exciting venture. It is based on the South Korean film ‘Save the Green Planet’. The original movie by Joon-hwan Jang is a weird black comedy. It follows the disillusioned Byun-gu who, along with his girlfriend Sooni, kidnaps a successful businessman. Why? He thinks the businessman is actually an alien planning Earth’s destruction. The story then spirals into an engaging battle of wits as Byun-gu tries to stop the supposed alien invasion.
A role switch with the remake
However, Will Tracy, writer of HBO’s Succession, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, has slightly altered the plot. Tracy’s ‘Save the Green Planet’ involves two conspiracy-driven young men. They kidnap a powerful company CEO, because, well, they believe she’s an alien with a devastating plan for Earth. Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it?
Who stars in ‘Bugonia’?
In this thrilling remake, Emma Stone, the star from ‘Kinds of Kindness’, takes the lead role. She’s joined by talented actor Jesse Plemons, who also featured in ‘Kinds of Kindness’. Yorgos Lanthimos directs the film while Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe from Element Pictures are producing it. Other producers include Miky Lee and Jerry Ko from CJ ENM, Stone from Fruit Tree, Ari Aster, and Lars Knudsen from Square Peg.
Joon-hwan Jang helmed the original film and was initially set to direct the remake. However, he passed on the responsibility to Lanthimos, which undoubtedly adds another interesting twist!
