In the new Yorgos Lanthamos film "Poor Things," Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) is the product of an experiment in which an infant brain has been placed inside an adult woman's body. As she discovers her sexuality, social expectations placed on women, and explores the world, she begins to challenge the men around her as she forms her own ideas about life. Screenwriter Tony McNamara joins us to discuss writing this unusual character, and we are also joined by Ramy Youssef, who stars in the film as Max, a gentle student who falls in love with Bella.  

Yorgos Lanthimos should be in the conversation when we discuss the most impressive current directors. Adapted by Lanthimos and writer Tony McNamara from Alasdair Gray's novel of the same name, Poor Things may be a departure from the director's signature tone and visual style, but it still beautifully demonstrates his uncanny ability to experiment with impeccable cohesion.

Today on the show – a movie in which Emma Stone attempts to punch a baby, by a playwright and screenwriter whose stories never fail to pack a punch. Yes, Tony McNamara is here, talking all things Poor Things, his latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos. Having previously worked together on the ten-time Oscar-nominated historical comedy The Favourite in 2018, this awards-tipped odyssey is a Frankensteinian creation as beguiling and impossible to pin down as its protagonist, Bella Baxter. It's part coming-of-age comedy, part sexual conquest and part travelogue through an eye-popping steampunk planet both like and unlike our own. You might also classify it as a father-daughter drama – except here, the father is a mad scientist whose home is a cornucopia of unholy experiments, his daughter, played by Emma Stone, just one of them.Stone is astounding as Bella, a reanimated dead woman, whose body, dragged from the Thames, has had life breathed into it once more. The horny journey of self-discovery that the character goes on from there, adapted from a 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, comments on our culture's (male-driven) obsession with control, explains Tony in our conversation. It's a riveting chat with a storyteller whose other screen credits include creating the TV show The Great, loosely based on Empress Catherine the Great of Russia's rise to power in 18th century Saint Petersburg and 2021's Cruella. Listen out for insights on the changes made to Gray's novel, the scene that Yorgos and Tony sadly had to cut for time, the idea of sex as a liberating force for the film's main character and what each of the new lands Bella visits are meant to bring out of her evolving character. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Filmsuck co-hosts round out 2023 and blaze into 2024 with an epic hashing-out of the flamboyantly gorgeous new Yorgos Lanthimos film POOR THINGS that reunites him with his creative team from THE FAVORITE (2018), screenwriter Tony McNamara and lead actor-producer Emma Stone. Stone plays a kind of female Frankenstein's monster created in a laboratory by a reclusive "mad scientist" played by William Dafoe. In this outre feminist fairy tale, she soon escapes to the Continent with a hedonistic lawyer (Mark Ruffalo), and in the process of exploration and self-education escapes the control of the men in her life.

This week we're excited to present a panel discussion with the creative team of Poor Things, an NYFF61 Main Slate selection. The discussion features director Yorgos Lanthimos, screenwriter Tony McNamara, production designers James Price & Shona Heath, composer Jerskin Fendrix, costume designer Holly Waddington, and sound designer Johnnie Burn in conversation with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Poor Things is now playing in select theaters and will open nationwide on December 22nd. In his boldest vision yet, iconoclast auteur Yorgos Lanthimos, previously featured in NYFF with The Lobster (NYFF57) and The Favourite (NYFF56), creates an outlandish alternate 19th century on the cusp of technological breakthrough, in which a peculiar, childlike woman named Bella (Emma Stone) lives with her mysterious caretaker, the scientist and surgeon Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). At once poignant and grotesque, Poor Things, based on a 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, is a punkish update of the Frankenstein story that becomes a deeply feminist fairy tale about women taking back control of their own bodies and minds. A Searchlight Pictures release.

“I don't write sex scenes. I write character scenes and sometimes they're having sex during their character scenes. It's a beat about character,” says Tony McNamara. Known for the TV show The Great on Hulu and 2018's The Favourite, screenwriter Tony McNamara's new film is Poor Things, staring Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe with a genius performance from Mark Ruffalo who's already getting Best Supporting Actor buzz. Adapted from the book Poor Things by Alasdair Gray, this film is part Frankenstein story, part fairytale and part coming-of-age story full of female sexual liberation! I chat with Tony about his ability to create fascinating female characters, sex without shame and the ways Poor Things is similar to this year's blockbuster Barbie ­– both are wildly different takes on the theme of feminine identity. “This is a great Frankenstein premise to wrap a story of a young woman entering the world completely naïve and also be a satire about the seeming need for human beings, men in particular, to control. It was about this woman having this adventure and creating herself while everyone around her is trying to control what that creation is,” says McNamara about his vision of the protagonist, Bella Baxter, played by an electric Emma Stone. To go deeper into McNamara's writing process, take a listen to the podcast. Poor Things is in theaters Dec. 8.

Nat and Alli are just as c***struck by Yorgos Lanthimos's 2018 black comedy as when they first saw it in theaters – from the central performances by Weisz, Stone, and Colman; to the needle-sharp script by Tony McNamara and Deborah Davis; to the disorienting use of fisheye lenses. With three bisexual leads to discuss, our hosts are spoiled for choice as they discuss power, lust, and (possibly) love.

In this episode of The Bingeworthy—our podcast dedicated to all things television, streaming, what we watch in those mediums and how we watch it—Elle Fanning dropped by to talk about not only Hulu's “The Great,” recently finishing its second season and about to shoot its third, but her excellent and absorbing Hulu mini-series, “The Girl From Plainville.” Both series have garnered great acclaim and received terrific accolades for Fanning's performances, but for very different reasons. Fanning talked about working with "The Great" showrunner/writer Tony McNamara (who wrote Yorgos Lanthimos' "The Favourite"), working with 'Great' partner Nicholas Hoult--who she said was instrumental in helping her get the rhythms down to this hyper-specific ratatat comedy and finding her voice as a producer on the series. For "The Girl From Plainville," a radically different series about a true-life case of "texting suicide," Fanning discussed her ethical obligations to playing real-life people who are still alive and have families that are still grieving. While the show has fantasy segments and blurs reality and fantasy, she was sure--again as a producer too--the show couldn't be exploitative. It's a great conversation with Elle Fanning who is such an amazingly versatile actor.

  Commonly described as "anti-historical" historical fiction, The Great follows the comedic rise of Empress Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) and explores her marriage to Emperor Peter III of Russia (Nicholas Hoult). Series creator Tony McNamara shares how watching the show as it's being made affects his writing process: "I don't write the whole season. I write about half of it, which puts a lot of pressure on me as a writer. I've learned to watch the show and watch what's happening between characters while we shoot, and then that starts to be reflected in the writing." McNamara goes on to discuss the challenges of finding your voice and shares his tips for burgeoning writers: "I think you're going to imitate who you like when you start writing, and there's nothing wrong with that – that's why you're drawn to certain things… I think you imitate for a while and then you slowly lose that a little bit. I always think it's too much pressure to [find] ‘your own voice…' I think as much as finding your voice, you've got to find your process and then you'll find your voice as well." Season 2 of The Great is now streaming on Hulu.   Don't forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!     Now available on Google Podcasts!  

Tony McNamara's viciously satirical Hulu series “The Great” follows young Empress Catherine's adventures in her adopted country: 18th century imperial Russia. McNamara's version is one with a lot of swearing, sex, and violence, and the series is now in production on its third season. As is typical for a streamer, Hulu doesn't tell McNamara much about who's watching. But he's fine with that. “You sort of assume it's going well because they renew it,” McNamara says. “But you're not locked into ‘what's the ratings this week? What's the data?' So there's a freedom in that.” McNamara talks about his fascination with Catherine the Great,  working with Hulu, and how he transported a world he originally created for the theater stage to the small screen.

Jason Katims (creator, As We See It, Parenthood); Tony McNamara (creator, The Great); The Girl from Plainville creators Liz Hannah (The Dropout; The Post) and Patrick MacManus (Dr. Death; Happy!) talk about plotting, writing for your characters, how they got their unique shows to air and how you can too!

"As a filmmaker, what you are selling and your primary asset is yourself, so the clearer you are about yourself, the clearer you can “play yourself”, the more effective you're going to be in expressing the ideas that you are particularly gifted to do. So that clarity of voice is as important for a writer or a director or producer as it is for a performer or a musician or anybody else. You want to find the best version of yourself and that is about recognizing when those moments of clarity are there and when they are not."Marian Macgowan is a producer with a global imprint, working across film, documentary and television mediums.
