In a bold move to promote her new film, Emma Stone invites audiences to participate in an unusual screening of Bugonia in Los Angeles. This special event mandates that attendees either come bald or shave their heads to gain entry.

Earlier this year, Emma Stone discussed her personal journey related to shaving her head for the role.

Conclusion
As audiences prepare for the premiere, the innovative screening of Bugonia showcases not only the film but also the lengths to which fans will go to embrace its themes and characters. This event promises to be a memorable occasion for both fans and filmmakers.
