Emma Stone Spills Juicy Details at ‘Eddington’ Premiere!

A Star-Studded Affair
At the glitzy premiere of Eddington on Thursday night at the DGA Theatre in West Hollywood, all eyes were on Emma Stone as she dished about her on-screen partnership with the one and only Joaquin Phoenix. In a candid moment captured by Variety, Stone opened up about their rehearsal process, revealing her mixed feelings about the grind of practice: “We rehearsed. We went through everything. Sometimes I really, really enjoy it, and sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh God, we’re just doing it, and it’s going to ruin everything,’ but this was one of the good ones.” And talk about a memorable first day on set! Stone reminisced, “It was cool. He was a cowboy. He was [Sheriff] Joe.” Classic.

Plotting a Political Drama
Set against the COVID backdrop, Eddington features Phoenix as a small-town sheriff in New Mexico whose decision to run for mayor throws the entire community—and his wife, played by Stone—into a whirlwind of political upheaval. The ensemble cast doesn’t hold back either, with familiar faces like Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, and Luke Grimes contributing to a rich tapestry of rural tension and ambition. Oh, the juicy drama!

Buzz-Worthy Cannes Moments
The conversation soon buzzed (pun intended) toward that unforgettable moment at Cannes, where a flair for the dramatic saw Pascal and Butler going to humorous lengths to protect Stone from a rogue bee during a photo op. Just hours before the Eddington premiere, Focus Features dropped the trailer for Stone’s upcoming film, Bugonia, which features Jesse Plemons in a beekeeper suit discussing insects. Coincidence? Maybe not!

Stone couldn’t help but chuckle when asked if the Cannes chaos was a cleverly crafted promo for Bugonia. “Wouldn’t that have been an incredible idea? It’s just Pedro trying to help me out carrying a bee around in his pocket and setting it loose!” she quipped, showcasing her sharp wit.

What’s Next for Stone Fans?
Fans can mark their calendars! Eddington is slated for a nationwide release on July 18, while Bugonia will flutter into theaters with a limited release on October 24, just in time for Halloween madness!

So, ready to embrace the charm and chaos of Emma Stone’s cinematic journey? Stay tuned for what promises to be a vibrant summer and fall for film lovers! 🎬✨
