Emma Stone’s latest film “Kinds of Kindness” has a connection to “Poor Things”.

The absurd anthology is the third collaboration between Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos after “The Favourite” and “Poor Things”. Their latest project tells three stories in a running time of 165 minutes.

At a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy FallonStone revealed that her eccentric dance scene in “Kinds of Kindness” (which is also briefly seen in the film’s trailer) was inspired by a dance she performed on the set of “Poor Things.”

“During ‘Poor Things’ – I mean, I do it most of the time – the days get pretty long and you wait for a while, but you have to keep your energy up to do these things over and over again,” she explained.

“One day I was doing this dance on set and my friend Laura took a video of it. I sent it to Yorgos and said, ‘This is what we’re doing upstairs while we’re waiting for the set up or whatever.’

“And when he saw that, he said, ‘You should do that on Kinds of Kindness, just something inspired by that.’ So I had to choreograph my own dance, so to speak.”

The audience was then shown the video in question, in which Stone busted out some moves in her Bella Baxter outfit on the set of “Poor Things.”

Described as a “triptych fable,” Kinds of Kindness is about a “man without choices” trying to get his life together, a police officer whose missing wife comes back as a different person, and a woman trying to track down someone “destined to become an extraordinary spiritual leader.”

Other cast members include Willem Dafoe from “Nosferatu,” Hunter Schafer from “Cuckoo,” Margaret Qualley from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Joe Alwyn and Mamoudou Athie.

“Kinds of Kindness” will be in theaters on June 28th.
