Cast

Production

Development of an English-language remake of the South Korean film Save the Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan began in 2020 with Will Tracy adapting the screenplay, and Jang attached to direct the remake.[1] Ari Aster was signed on to produce and was instrumental in the hiring of Tracy and the decision to gender swap the central character from a man to a woman.[2]

In February 2024, it was revealed that Yorgos Lanthimos would be directing the remake in place of Jang, with Element Pictures joining the production team.[3] Emma Stone was also in talks to star in the film, making it her fourth collaboration with Lanthimos.[4] In March 2024, Jesse Plemons was in talks to join the film,[5] and he had officially joined the cast by the time it was retitled Bugonia and taken to the Cannes Film Market.[6]

Filming

Principal photography began in July 2024 in the Wycombe, England,[7] and are expected to last until mid to late September, with additional scenes planned to film in New York as well. Emma Stone is rumoured to have shaved her head for this role. [3]

Focus Features acquired US distribution rights to the project at the Marché du Film in May 2024, while CJ ENM maintained distribution rights in South Korea, and Universal Pictures took the international distribution everywhere else.[6]

The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 7, 2025.[8]
