Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Catch-22) will be joining the star-studded cast of Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming film Poor Things, according to a recent report from Deadline.
Abbott joins a cast that is already packed and features the likes of Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, and Ramy Youssef.
Lanthimos will direct the project, with Element Pictures producing the film along with Emma Stone, whose Fruit Tree production house will also have credits.
First published in 1992, Poor Things is a Victorian-set novel that will feature Emma Stone as Bella Baxter – a beautiful young erotomaniac brought back to life with the brain of an infant.
