3:49 am
gray novel of the same name. it's an updated take on the frankenstein story. in this case, a brilliant scientist transplants a baby's brain into a recently deceased woman, bella. she quickly evolves from being a really big toddler to a really smart adult, who learns how to dance, how to read, and how to think. >> you're losing some of your adorable -- >> i'm a changeable feast, as are all of we apparently according to emerson. >> reporter: critics have called the film fantastical and sumptuous. it's the result of a collaboration between stone and lanthimos that they both say could be pretty intense. >> do you fight? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> about what? >> we won't right now. >> i mean fight. >> no, we don't fight, fight. we really communicate strongly in those moments. but i think we always resolve it relatively quickly.
3:50 am
>> we can speak to each other freely, so it helps. >> reporter: lanthimos breaks down inhibitions by having cast members play theater games at rehearsals rather than just read through the script. and he likes to keep his set quiet. >> you don't yell "action"? >> i don't. no. we like to ease into things. in general, we try to korea this atmosphere which doesn't create tension. >> reporter: and it all seems to have worked. lanthimos acquired the rights to "poor things" years ago, but when he tried to sell the idea to studios, he got the cold shoulder. so then he made another film, one with a more conventional artistic vision -- 2018's "the favorite," starring rachel weiss and emma stone. >> so my secrets are safe with you? >> all of them. >> good. >> even your biggest secret. >> abigail -- >> reporter: the favorite was also a favorite at the oscars
3:51 am
with ten nominations and one win. and lanthimos' reputation soared. >> did "the favorite" give you the juice to be able to do this? >> yeah. people were asking me what it is that you want to do next, and i went like "poor things". >> i can't let you go. >> if you do not, bella shall turn rotten with hate. >> reporter: and his patience seems to have paid off. the film has already picked up a number of awards, but stone says her character was a challenge to play. >> was there ever a moment when you thought, oh, i don't know if i'm going to get this? >> yeah, the whole time. yes, the entire time. >> seriously? >> yeah. >> why? >> i don't think there's been a day on-set of any film of anything i've ever done where i've been like, i really got it today. that was exactly what it's supposed to be. i mean i think that's for any -- any creative person, you see something in your head or you feel like it should be a particular way, and then it has to come out of your mouth and
3:52 am
your body and all of that, and it never matches up to what exactly you have in your head. and it's like a constant satate of acceptance and for an actor, hopefully presence. >> and the golden globe goes to emma stone. >> reporter: of course she needn't have worried, the golden globe voters thought she got it just right. but stone told us that worried is her natural state of being and that she's been that way since she was very young. >> do you still have that anxiety? >> oh, yeah. yeah. not to the level that it was when i was a kid because i've had therapies or i have tools now to manage it in different ways. as the years go on, you start to learn more about managing what that is. but i mean that's my -- my operating system. >> now, have you figured out how to kind of channel it for good? is that possible it? >> oh, my god, are you kidding me? ident
3:53 am
anxiety is -- i feel so lucky to be anxious. >> why? >> because i think it can be sort of like a superpower sometimes. anxiety is very activating. it gets you out of bed. you kind of can't just stay in one place. it sort of forces you to keep moving. i don't know. i find a lot of positives from it. >> reporter: and it seems she's made the best of it. ♪ you say there's nothing here ♪ ♪ well let's make something clear ♪ ♪ i think i'll be the one to make that call ♪ >> reporter: a case in point, her performance in "la la land," for which she won an oscar. >> i still have a lot of growing and learning and work to do, and this guy is a really beautiful symbol to continue on that journey. and i am so grateful for that. >> reporter: and now stone and her latest movie are once again in the oscar conversation. but she says she tries no the to let it all get to her. >> is there a way that you get ready for it or something that
