Bugonia Explained: Conspiracy, Casting, and the Emma Stone Character
At 38:59 · chapter starts 35:00
Louis and Lanthimos reconstruct Bugonia's journey from concept to screen. The screenplay, written by Will Tracy — a Succession writer — was fully developed by the time it reached Lanthimos via Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen's production company; Aster had been drawn to it by his love of the 2003 Korean original, Save the Green Planet!, which Lanthimos himself had never seen. Lanthimos's contributions were structural and casting-based rather than a rewrite: he cast Aidan, an autistic actor, in a role not written as autistic, feeling it enriched the film's internal logic and comedic texture. Louis describes Emma Stone's character as a hyper-composed Silicon Valley CEO — Sheryl Sandberg energy as alien — whose odd composure even while being kidnapped deliberately prevents the film from becoming trauma porn. Lanthimos confirms that he did not research real conspiracy theories because the screenplay was already strong enough.
