Poor Things

Producers Ed Guiney & Andrew Lowe discuss the making of ‘Poor Things’ - from the early concepts of the film, their relationship with director Yorgos Lanthimos, casting decisions that led to Emma Stone’s portrayal, and their relief at early audience feedback - all in conversation with host Alex Zane.

Along the way, the producing pair reveal their ambition in creating the fantastical sets within one of Europe's largest sound stages, and the extensive process of getting things physically prepared while dealing with the onset of Covid-19.

‘Poor Things’ is nominated for Best Film at the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2024. To discover who wins the trophy, tune in on 18th February on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK as well as around the world, including on BritBox in North America - and discover more interviews with the nominees and longlisted movies when you follow Countdown To The BAFTAs.
