Emma Stone’s new film “Bugonia” is about to pull off a stunning publicity stunt, as attendees at an upcoming screening have been asked to shave their heads in order to be admitted.
DoLA, an events website promoting different opportunities in Los Angeles, California, released a special, free advanced screening of “Bugonia” at the Culver Theater on Monday — the catch being that attendees must be “bald” or “willing to be bald.”
“This special screening is for anyone who is bald,” the event post says. “If you’re not bald, we’ll have a barber on site to shave your head so you can watch the movie.”
According to the announcement, the barber will be at the cinema two hours before the start of the 8 p.m. screening. This way, you will have plenty of time to shave any head that requires it.
The post added: “This event is a first-come, first-served screening. Ticket does not guarantee entry, so please arrive early. Part of the screening will be filmed for promotional purposes.”
In an Instagram post for the screening, DoLA added, “It’s real. And yes, some of it will be filmed.”
For those who haven’t yet seen the “Bugonia” trailer, Stone ends up bald in the film after being kidnapped by two conspiracy-obsessed men — who believe her CEO character is an alien with plans to destroy the planet.
“Bugonia,” directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, written by Will Tracy and based on the Korean thriller “Save the Green Planet!”, also stars Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone.
The film will have a limited release in the United States on October 24 before a wide release on October 31.
