Go Bald!"},"content":{"rendered":"

There was a gimmicky movie screening to see The Long Walk<\/a>,\u00a0and now the upcoming Bugonia<\/a> is doing one of its own.<\/p>\n

Anyone living in LA who wants to see Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 absurdist comedy before everyone else can do so on Monday, October 20<\/a> at the Culver Theater at 8 PM. Tickets are free, but there\u2019s a catch: the screening\u2019s for \u201canyone who is bald, or willing to become bald\u201d\u2014so if you wanna get into the first-come, first-serve screening, you gotta be bald to get in. Show up with hair, and there\u2019ll be an on-site barber starting at 6 PM who you\u2019ll have to let chop it all off to get in. Things don\u2019t stop there: Focus is going to film some of the screening and use it for promotional purposes, similar to commercials for horror movies.<\/p>\n

Based on the South Korean film\u00a0Save the Green Planet!,\u00a0Bugonia\u00a0stars Emma Stone<\/a> as Michelle, a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis). Conspiracy-pilled as hell, the two have it in their heads that Michelle\u2019s actually an alien who\u2019s come to destroy Earth and while they\u2019ve got her captive, shave her head so she can\u2019t contact her ship. (No, really.) Stone genuinely went bald<\/a> for the role and if it helps, she called it pretty great<\/a> back in August to not have her hair.<\/p>\n

For everyone else, you can see Bugonia\u00a0with your hair intact when it hits theaters Friday, October 24.<\/p>\n
