Emma Stone stars in the new sci-fi comedy film “Bugonia,” where she plays a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by conspiracy theorists who shave her head. The film’s distributor, Focus Features, challenged fans to shave their heads to see the movie, which will be released on October 31. Fans took the dare and got buzz cuts to gain entry to an early screening in Los Angeles.
The concept may seem unusual, but it added to the immersive experience for some viewers. Matthew Lopez from Los Angeles said he felt a connection to the story after getting a bald head. Richard Chong attended the screening to appease his friends and family, who had teased him about his bowl cut. The film’s director, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Stone also teamed up for Oscar-nominated films “Poor Things” and “The Favourite.”
Fans like Sam Sherman from Los Angeles took advantage of the opportunity to see the movie early and get a free haircut. Stone shared her thoughts on the unusual screening challenge during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying it was just a good time if people already wanted to shave their heads.
