Emma Stone is generating early Oscar buzz for her role in the upcoming film Poor Things, where she also serves as a producer. Reuniting with her The Favourite director, Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things sees Stone portraying Bella Baxter in a surreal reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. However, it is, in fact, an adaptation of Alasdair Gray's novel of the same name. The movie also features Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, and Jerrod Carmichael. Poor Things had its premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival and later screened at the New York Film Festival and the Miskolc International Film Festival. It is scheduled for a theatrical release in the USA on December 8, 2023. Black Comedy 'Poor Things' Wins Golden Lion at Venice.

But it looks like one much talked about scene from the film has already leaked before the theatrical release. A cam print of Poor Things' sex scene featuring Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo is already going viral on reddit groups and social media. The particular sequence sees Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo having sexual intercourse, while nude, in various positions that has been pieced together through quirky editing cuts. Looks like this sex scene was leaked from the film's festival screenings.

During Poor Things' 61st New York Film Festival screening, director Yorgos Lanthimos spoke about the film's wild (and often comic and kinda necrophiliac) sex scenes and their relevance to the film. He had said, "(Sex) was a very important part of her (Bella) journey. I felt that we shouldn’t shy away from it. It would feel very disingenuous to tell this story about this character, who’s so free and so open, and then be prude about the sexual aspect of it. It was clear from the beginning, from the novel, from the script, but also from discussions with Emma as well, how we came up with those scenes, she had to be free. There should be no judgment." This Viral TikTok Video of Emma Stone ‘Losing Her Mind’ During Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Is Unmissable – WATCH.
