Emma Stone's role in 'Bugonia' was initially meant for a woman in her 50s USEnglish Emma Stone stars in "Bugonia," a remake of a South Korean dark comedy. Screenwriter Will Tracy told BI he originally wrote the character as a CEO in her 50s. Yorgos Lanthimos' latest movie would have looked a lot different if he hadn't chosen to collaborate with Emma Stone. In "Bugonia," Stone plays fictional pharmaceutical company CEO Michelle Fuller, who is kidnapped by two conspiracy-obsessed beekeepers (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) who are convinced she's an alien. The colorful concept comes from the film's source material — it's loosely a remake of "Save the Green Planet!," a 2003 South Korean dark comedy directed by Jang Joon-hwan — but in the development process, screenwriter Will Tracy ("Succession," "The Menu") ended up making a few big changes.
