Hollywood film offers hair‑free preview

American actress Emma Stone’s new film 'Bugonia' is to offer a free early screening to audience members who are bald or willing to shave their heads.

The feature film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and set for wide release on October 24, will enjoy a free screening at the Culver Theater in Los Angeles on October 20.

Local event guide DoLA announced that a barber will be on-site from 6 p.m. local time to shave attendees before the free advanced screening.

The unusual requirement is inspired by Stone’s character—a bald CEO mistaken for an alien—in the surreal sci-fi satire, which also stars Jesse Plemons.

The film has already been premiered at Venice and toured major festivals ahead of its nationwide release.
